i m going to guess those aren t decorative fireworks. maybe you have fourth of july of your brain. i think that s perhaps law enforcement as you point out, some sort of flash bang or something set up in the sky. reporter: unclear, though. it looks like they re coming from more of a rooftop angle so it s not the yellow it s not the orange tear gas we saw earlier from the flash bangs. it is different than that. so again, it s dissipating, and again, we should point out, still relatively peaceful as far as these protests go. jeff zeleny, thank you. from hamburg, still light out, nearly 9:00 at night. i think the sun doesn t even set there until around 10:00. let s talk more substance as we pivot back and forth between the pictures of these protests and these all-important world leader meetings. i have standing by matt, author of angela merkel, europe s most influential leader and political science professor at
hamburg. so i guess you could say a good night for a protest. brooke, we ll see if it goes on into the evening here. again, the sun should be out for just under two more hours here and we ll see how the evening goes here in hamburg. again, this summit is continuing and will continue through saturday. incredible, jeff. just this coming together of, you know, fireworks and celebration, juxtaposed with water cannons and flash bangs, the protests that have been playing out, these high diplomatic meetings between world leaders all coalescing in this one key city in germany. cnn national security analyst and former fbi, just staying on these pictures, ashas, what s your assessment of the protests, the police, does this look under control to you? i actually can t see the images, but it seems to me that that would be the kind of reaction that you would have at this kind of meeting.
violent but this is the most damage in all. may day demonstrations in 41 states with 77 people getting arrested. shannon: all right, dan, also violence in washington state as well? the only surprise is the mayhem was not in seattle which has seen a lot of property destruction and injuries to police over the last several years. police in seattle flooded the streets with cops and learned their lesson. kept a lid on the trouble. that wasn t the case in olympia where dozens of anarchists fought with police and local people. two officers got hit by flying rocks but injuries were minor. they carried signs like become ungovernable. they broke windows in businesses and banks. police threw flash bangs. a lot of destruction we ve seen in the past years. a relatively small number of people infiltrating a large crowd of peaceful protestors in these may day riots.
release his tax returns. they believe that perhaps there is something that he is hiding. remember, they continue to stress that every president since jimmy carter over the last 40 years has released their tax returns, and they want to know whether or not president trump has any business conflicts with foreign governments or perhaps any ties with russia. take a listen at what some of the protesters told us as to what motivated them to come to the tax day march in new york city. i don t know what s in there. i want to find out. i feel like there might be some, he might be complicit with the russians, and i want to know what s going on. there was never an audit that was preventing his tax returns from being released. it was just one of his lies. so this time it s just pointing that out. reporter: unfortunately, there was some violence in california in berkeley. at least four people have been arrested, pepper spray, flash bangs were used when a pro-trump rally called up hashtag patri
attend. meantime, tonight in d.c., police use flash bangs and disperse protesters just blocks from donald trump s inaugural parade. also a limo was set on fire. the windows of several businesses were smashed and two police officers suffered injuries. nearly 100 people were arrested in the scattered demonstrations. we were there to serve notice, we are not celebrating this. in fact, we re acting to stop it. we re going to bring did the same message to the women s march. we re going to march with them and call on them to not go back loam after a one-daypro test but to stay here in the streets, if you got to go back home, get in the streets where you go to. i should note it s called the women s march tomorrow but there are going to be a lot of men there, as well. one of the women who will be there is sue fulton, a former army captain and west point graduate and the founder of sparta a group of lgbt individuals who currently serve or have served in the military
