Another night of fire and fury as protests rage across America

demonstrations over the death of yet another black man in police custody led to another night of fire and fury.

Protests that began peacefully exploded into mayhem as windows were smashed, stores were looted, buildings were vandalized and police vehicles were torched. The unrest spread from Chicago, Atlanta and Boston to Sacramento, Seattle and Sioux Falls, S.D. As protesters and police clashed outside the White House for a third consecutive night, President Trump tweeted a call for “LAW & ORDER!”

In some cities, law enforcement officers were seen marching and kneeling with protesters. But elsewhere, police in riot gear continued to increase their use of force, which added to the disorder. Early Monday, Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear ordered a state investigation after a man was fatally shot during an overnight confrontation with Louisville police and the National Guard.

Here are some significant developments:

·         More than half of the nation’s governors have called in the National Guard to help quell the unrest. Meanwhile, at least 45 million Americans were under a curfew Sunday night, and many cities have extended their overnight restrictions.

·         A number of major retailers, including Walmart, Target and Apple, have temporarily closed their stores in some areas rocked by upheaval. In California, state government buildings “in downtown city areas” will be closed Monday.

·         More than 4,000 people were arrested in U.S. cities over the weekend, according to the Associated Press. New York Mayor Bill de Blasio’s daughter, Chiara, was among the hundreds of people arrested in the city after failing to disperse, law enforcement sources told The Washington Post.

·         It’s been one week since George Floyd died in Minneapolis after a white police officer pressed his knee into the 46-year-old black man’s neck for more than eight minutes. Floyd’s brother, Terrence, said he plans to visit the scene of the incident this week. “I just want to feel my brother’s spirit,” he said Monday.

·         Some conservative commentators are urging the president to address the nation, but the White House press secretary said Trump is focused on the far-left “antifa” movement that he believes is behind the violence. “A national Oval Office address is not going to stop antifa,” Kayleigh McEnany said.
