For an eighth day and night after the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis police custody, tens of thousands of demonstrators returned to the streets in cities across the United States, continuing daily protests that have been among the most widespread civil unrest the nation has seen in half a century. Though many defied strict new curfews, the tenor of events on Tuesday was largely peaceful, with fewer instances of looting and violent clashes that characterized previous nights.

In Washington, D.C., military vehicles were deployed across the city ahead of a 7 p.m. curfew. A steel fence, erected overnight on Tuesday, separated from police forces in Lafayette Park, one day after tear gas was used to disperse protesters from the park in advance of a public appearance by President Trump. In New York, a standoff between police and protesters at the entrance to the Manhattan Bridge ended peacefully.

In an interview, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey rejected President Trump’s calls to use military forces to quell protests, even as federal forces were deployed in other cities, including San Diego and Buffalo. In Los Angeles, police made hundreds of arrests on Tuesday night. In Atlanta, police and military personnel used tear gas on protesters in Centennial Park, and in Charlotte, N.C., State Representative Chaz Beasley criticized police after video surfaced showing officers using stun grenades, pepper spray and pepper pellets on protesters.LIVE UPDATESOur reporters and photographers are on the ground in cities across the country.
