WASHINGTON (FOX 5 DC) - Mayor Muriel Bowser placed a citywide curfew across the District as demonstrators near the White House gathered during a third straight night of protests Sunday over the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis.
Among the turmoil across the United States: Fires lit near the White House, including at St. John's Church just a short walk away; rioters clashing with police in New York City; and the Los Angeles County sheriff saying people still out on the streets were "acting like terrorists."
The National Guard’s top general on Sunday said Guard units in nearly half of U.S. states have been mobilized to help major cities deal with the riots. Gen. Joseph Lengyel said some 16,000 additional Guard troops have been deployed to 24 states and the District of in response to civil disturbances.
(NOTE THIS ABOUT THE DC NATIONAL GUARD...COMMENTS MINE)
Police were in tactical gear. The D.C. National Guard was activated at the direction of the secretary of the Army and at the request of the Park Police to help maintain order near the White House, Commanding Gen. William J. Walker said in a post on the Guard’s Facebook page.
While some protesters stayed near the White House, others marched through the streets chanting, “No justice and no peace.” and “Say his name: George Floyd.” The mood was angry and several speakers implored marchers to remain peaceful.

Folks, we're being fed a bunch of hooey.
Yep.....you call it hooey....I call it something else, FRiend.
Biden said they were peaceful AND he criticized removing them with tear gas (which never happened).
Trying to keep it family friendly! :)
The paid liars for the chicken politicians have called Wednesday “a siege”.
Alexandria Occasionally Cortez has said that half of congress could have been killed.
It’s like four year olds describing a movie.
IF it had been a true siege she wouldn’t be talking today.
If you are gonna post something from 7 months ago please put FLASHBACK in front of the headline!
Will do the next time....apologies for the confusion!
Darn. I was hoping for a 95% kill rate of these treasonous parasites.
It’s the left’s Reichstag fire moment. And they are not going to miss their opportunity.
I was talking to a friend the other day who initially expressed outrage that “her side” would act “like this”. My response was that if “we” were trying to act like Antifa, we are not very good at it.
A few hundred bucks worth of damage that was repaired within a day. Nothing set on fire, no storefronts shattered, no looting, no mobs of black-clad goons chasing down the middle-aged ladies waving Old Glory and Trump flags.
The only question that occurred to me after we had ended the call is this: “Does that make us less dangerous, or more dangerous?”
She can stuff her Statehood upside her considerable ass.
Not only this, but take a look back at the “protests” that happened when Trump was inaugurated in 2017:
