Demonstrations, a much calmer night than ones weve been seeing this week. The flashpoint for all the nationwide anger and grief is the death of george floyd, a black man who died in minneapolis just over a week ago after a white Police Officer pinned him down with his knee on his neck for at least nine minutes. Not long ago, a big flareup in washington after what had been a day of peaceful protests. Take a good look at it right now. Were going to have to be careful. Yeah, be careful. Dont get too good a look it. Yep. There it is. Press, press, press, press, press are you okay . There. Reporter today we saw protesters returning in large numbers. The crowd swelled throughout the course of the day. It was entirely peaceful. People were energized. They were angry. They are passionate because of what had happened the day before, and they stood outside here just north of the white house. This is lafayette park, which is just in front of the white house. They were chanting for george floyd, breonna taylor, chanting black lives matter and all of the other chants we have heard throughout the course of these protests. There was a curfew that went into effect around 7 00 p. M. The washington, d. C. , police decided not to enforce it. There was never really any altercation between Law Enforcement and protesters, anybody out here, until just after 12 30 a. M. That is when agitators decided to come up to this fencing here. This is new fencing on the edge of lafayette park. They started pushing it, seemingly trying to get through. Now, there was a huge contingent of washington, d. C. , National Guard on the other side. They pressed forward, firing a number of different types of crowd control measures at those agitators, including pepper spray, which hit us, as well as a combination of, we understand, pepper and tear gas pellets, and that drove the crowd back, dispersed them, and now there are really only a few stragglers left. But natalie, i think the really important point is the vast majority of the protesters who have been out here for the past few days have been entirely peaceful. But as you know, once these protests get into the evening hours, as they wear on, things can change, and unfortunately, this day did end with violent clashes. Well, the mayor of seattle has extended the citys curfew through june 6th, as hundreds of protesters demonstrated on tuesday. At least 14,000 complaints have been made about Police Conduct during protests held over the weekend. On tuesday night, we saw a different tactic with some protesters using umbrellas as protection to avoid police spraying crowd control chemicals. In nearby port reasoned, oregon, protesters lie down on the ground with hands behind their backs like george floyd, a symbolic gesture. A similar story in new york, where there were also a couple hundred arrests across the city, mostly for curfew violations. But overall, it has been relatively calm with far less of the uncontrolled chaos weve seen the past couple of nights. Cnns Shimon Prokupecz was there. Reporter at this hour of the night, all we were hearing last night were sirens, Police Chasing the looters around town. And i want to show you just up the street. I mean, there are police cars that are driving around, you know, their lives on, but look how quiet it is. There is no one outside. And thats how its been here for the better part of the night. Behind me here is union square park, which has been a gathering point here for many of the protesters. There was a lot of looting in this neighborhood. Theres a lot of stores now boarded up. There was none of that here tonight. There has been some looting across manhattan, but you know, its important to say that were just not seeing what we saw last night. I will tell you, were told by the nypd, there were about 200 arrests tonight, and thats going to be curfew violations. There was some looting. We and our team witnessed a couple of those incidents, but overall and i think its important to note this its now starting to rain, so thats going to help things along as well. Things much different here tonight. Well, despite a 6 00 a. M. Curfew in los angeles, protesters are still on the streets. Theyve been sitting on the ground, some of them with their hands in the air. Police say they will enforce violations along with any looting and criminal acts to the full extent of the law. The lapd says hundreds have been arrested during these protests. Police in atlanta, georgia, used tear gas to Disperse Protesters on tuesday at the 9 00 p. M. Curfew. According to police, 400 arrests have been made since friday and curfews have been effective at reducing violence. Six atlanta Police Officers face charges, though, for using Excessive Force to arrest two College Students at a protest saturday night. You see the officers yanking a woman out and tasing the driver. Two of the six officers have already been fired from the department for that. They all have until friday to turn themselves in. And in the city where george floyd was killed, thousands gathered peacefully in front of the State Capitol in minnesota, still demanding justice. Only one person charged in floyds death, the Police Officer whose knee was on floyds neck for nearly nine minutes. Three other officers who were on the scene, and despite widespread demands for their arrest, they still have not been charged. Minnesotas attorney general says everyone will be held accountable. Already these people have been fired. I know that that is not enough to restore faith, but what were doing is looking at the charges, looking at the behavior. And when we are ready, and that wont be long from now, we plan on taking the proper and deliberate action. And those who knew and loved george floyd are calling for justice. The mother of his 6yearold daughter spoke tuesday about the pain and loss the family is now feeling. I wanted everybody to know that this is what those officers took from. And then the other d the end f the day, they get to go home and with their family. She does not have a father. Im here for my baby and im here for george, because i want justice for him. With a closer look now at how the police have been dealing with this crisis, jim beerman is a former president of the Police Foundation and former police chief of redlands in california. Chief, thank you so much for being with us. These protests, they began with the death of one man, but since, theyve obviously grown in size and have taken on a much bigger issue of Police Brutality and social justice. By my count, at least four protesters have died, hundreds have been hurt to various degrees, at least one Police Officer has been killed. Does that indicate to you that in some places, at least, Police Departments need to review the way they deal with protests that are on this scale . I think all Police Departments need to review how they deal with protests, what has worked for them so far, what has clearly not worked for them. Police departments in the United States you know, theres about 18,000 of them are different, every one. Theyre like individuals. Some Police Departments do this really well, understand the Community Dynamics and how to interact with people, and some Police Departments, quite frankly, just dont do a good job with that. A writer for a magazine posted this observation on twitter. Just want to point out that in demonstrations against Police Brutality, police, not Law Enforcement, theyre counter protesters. So, police are not Law Enforcement, theyre counter protesters, according to writers of new york magazine. Can some aggressive moves by Law Enforcement officials be explained by saying in many ways theyre taking the protests personally . Well, theres probably some truth to that. But remember that Police Departments are the arm of local government or federal government, depending what level youre talking about, whose mandate is to try to keep the peace. The dynamics that occur in a mass demonstration like this, especially these that have been going on and on and on, are very complicated and theyre very stressful for both protesters and the Police Officers. Youll see behind the skirmish line of officers, there are other officers. Those are frequently supervisors. And part of their job is to try to keep the officers on the front line calm, because theyre being in many instances, not all, but in many instances, theyre being insulted, being spit on. There are a lot of things that are going on there that are increasing their agitation and their emotions, and sometimes they are human beings, and sometimes those emotions get out of control and they go off the rails a bit. And with that in mind, listen to the police chief in las vegas talking about the situation there, because there have been some high levels of violence directed towards Police Officers. Here he is. The incredible levels of violence that we saw last night are remarkable and should be unsettling to everyone that calls this place home. So, thats st. Louis, not las vegas, but you get the point. Is there an easy explanation here for whats behind this sort of increased level of violence to the police . Well, i think, you know, a highlevel explanation is people are just outraged and people have just had it. St. Louis county has a history. This is where ferguson, missouri, is located, and that area has a long history of problems with Race Relations and problems in the relationship between community and the police. And as i said, thats where ferguson was. And the st. Louis county Police Department was the major Police Department involved in that incident after the Michael Brown shooting. So, theres a history there that is unique and different in many ways from history in other communities. Four st. Louis officers have been shot during this period, so thats probably what the sergeant was referring to in some regard. I dont know that we know exactly why theres violence in one place and there isnt violence in another. Some of it has to do with the way police are handling things, but it also has to do with the local Community Dynamics and some of the players there. The owner of the store where the employee actually made that initial call to police because george floyd had allegedly passed a counterfeit bill, theyve been left shaken by how all this played out. Theyre vowing in the future they do things differently. Listen to this. On behalf of cup foods staff, were not going to call the police unless its an act of violence going on. We feel like we can police our own matters. And unless theres a Violent Crime taking place, we think its for the best interests of our staff and patrons that the police should not be called. Im just wondering, is that just one small example of how over a period of time and a series of incidents that a community loses faith and confidence in the police . Well, thats certainly an example. The issue of Police Legitimacy is a compelling issue that the police have been focusing on for a while. Some places very successfully, some places not so successfully. Look it, the issue of trust and confidence, the people that are protected by Public Servants like the police is the number one issue that is, i think, at the center of all of the tension that we have. When people dont have a sense of confidence in police, they dont trust them, theyre not going to call them. This gentleman, obviously, has some regrets about calling the police, because it ultimately resulted in mr. Floyds death. And when you see that happen repeatedly in many instances, in cases that are less serious than this, i mean, personally, it breaks my heart, because the police are supposed to be problemsolvers. Things that people forget is that in most states, especially my home state, california, Police Officers by statute are called peace officers, and we should be focusing and this is part of the problem, right . The culture is not necessarily framed entirely around this notion that people we call cops or Police Officers are really peace officers, and they should be effecting the peace when they are perceived to do just the opposite of that. Then you get responses like this gentleman who says im not calling the cops unless i absolutely have to. Chief bueermann, good talking to you. Ive learned a lot, so id like you to come back. Any time, thank you. One of the most controversial members of the congress will not be back next year. Iowa republican steve king has lost his primary race to a state senator, according to cnns projection. King was stripped of his Committee Assignments last year when he questioned how the terms White Nationalist and white supremacist became offensive. The nineterm congressman has a history of other racist remarks. He was even banned from air force one when President Trump visited iowa. Still ahead here, if a picture is worth 1,000 words, then what about a White House Photo op where Security Forces used tear gas and flashbangs to clear out Peaceful Protesters . Well hear some of the outraged words when we come back. Also ahead here, protests heard around the world are turning their attention to issues of racism and Police Violence in their own countries.

Australias Prime Minister is calling for an investigation after police in washington attacked two of the countrys journalists during mondays protests. The incident unfolded live on air. Weve also seen tear gas being used. Here we go. Theyre moving through again. This is exactly what it looks like, exactly what it looks like. Oh whoa 7 news u. S. Correspondent amelia brace and photojournalist tim myers were cracked against a wall when police attempted to move protesters on. An officer was struck in the eyes and his cam was while another camera appeared to hit brace with a baton. The committee to protect journalists says at least 125 press Freedom Violations have been reported in the u. S. By journalists covering these protests. We continue to see examples of solidarity all around the world. Crowds in sydney here joining the protest movement tuesday. Protesters taking a knee outside the u. S. Consulate there. For more on the International Reaction to the killing of george floyd, lets bring in cnns Nic Robertson in london. It seems like the protests to support the United States and what its going through just keep growing. Reporter and weve just heard from the pope as well in his prayers this morning talking about the killing being tragic, being disturbing, talking about the protesters, while we cant tolerate in our societies racism, but he goes on to say that the violence that were seeing in the protests, thats selfdestructive, but you very clearly hear the pope taking a position on this issue, as he does, that what the world is witnessing happening in the United States is not right. So, this is a very, very senior figure making a very, very strong point here. Weve also heard from the European UnionForeign Policy chief saying that this is inexcusable and that this must stop, also saying that peoples rights, dignities and democracies must be upheld. So, theres a very clear sense here in europe that whats being witnessed in the United States is not right, that people dont want to see it, and the protests in support of george floyd, black lives Matter Movement as well, have been very strong, in germany in particular, in ireland, both north and south of the border, here in the uk, another protest planne
