Peaceful protests against the death of Mr. Floyd turned chaotic in several cities on Thursday night into Friday morning, with the Denver State Capitol put on lockdown after someone fired a gun near a demonstration, and crowds in Columbus, Ohio, surging up the steps of the State Capitol and breaking windows.
Seven people were struck by gunfire at a protest in Louisville, Ky., on Thursday night as tensions there continued to escalate over the fatal shooting of a black woman by three white police officers in March. Videos posted on social media appeared to show shots being fired while demonstrators surrounded a police vehicle. No officers were among those injured, and it was too early to determine who was responsible, the Louisville Metro Police Department said.
In New York City, protesters gathered at Union Square Thursday afternoon to join a nationwide chorus against police brutality. But by the time the crowds dissipated several hours later into the dark streets, the police said they had arrested 72 people, five of them on charges they had assaulted police officers with street debris in what Chief Terence A. Monahan, the highest ranking uniformed officer, qualified as one of the most unruly and angry demonstrations in his many years in law enforcement.
“We didn’t expect this,” Chief Monahan said in an morning interview with the 1010 WINS radio station. “We didn’t expect them to be so confrontational and right off the bat charging police officers and pushing police officers.”
