Multiple fires set near the White House as protests in Washington escalate ahead of curfew.
This is the third straight night of demonstrations held in response to the death of George Floyd at the hands of police in Minnesota.
Protestors removed road signs and an American flag and burned them in the middle of H Street.
An hour before the 11 p.m. curfew, police in Lafayette Park fired tear gas stun grenades into the large crowd.
