Rioting

NY Times: Live Updates on George Floyd Protests: Overnight Mayhem Follows Peaceful Rallies - There were widespread reports of looting and confrontations with the police in cities across the United States. The White House went dark as fires burned outside its gates. California ordered all state buildings in “downtown city areas” to be closed on Monday, and Gov. Gavin Newsom declared a state of emergency for Los Angeles County.

In Louisville, Ky., a confrontation on a crowded street was partly defused when a woman stepped forward and offered a police officer in riot gear a hug. They embraced for nearly a minute. There were reports of clashes later in the night, however.
