MINNEAPOLIS (HRNW) – Authorities imposed curfews in the capital Washington and other major US cities Sunday to prevent fresh rioting after anti-racism protesters again took to the streets to voice their fury at police brutality.
As the Trump administration branded instigators of five nights of rioting domestic terrorists, there were more confrontations between protesters and police and fresh outbreaks of looting.
Local leaders appealed to citizens to give constructive outlet to their rage over the death of an unarmed black man, while night-time curfews were imposed in cities such as Washington, Los Angeles, Houston and Minneapolis, which has been the epicenter of unrest.
The most closely-watched protest was outside the state capitol in Minneapolis twin city of St. Paul where several thousand people gathered before marching down a highway.
At one point, some of the protesters who had reached a bridge were forced to run for cover when a truck drove at speed after having apparently breached a barricade.
The driver was later taken to hospital after the protesters hauled him from the vehicle although there were no immediate reports of other casualties.
