Hundreds of protesters marched through the nation’s capital and engaged in hours of violent clashes with Secret Service officers.

WASHINGTON — The barricades in front of the White House were breached in the wee hours of Saturday morning as the wave of protests that has swept the nation following the death of George Floyd quite literally hit President Trump’s doorstep.

Trump told Yahoo News earlier on Friday that he supported many of those who protested Floyd’s killing in Minneapolis. The demonstrators squared off with uniformed Secret Service officers who kept them at bay with riot gear and shields. Around 2 a.m., hours after the protests in D.C. had begun, officers from the U.S. Park Police arrived to reinforce the Secret Service. The combined forces of officers who lined up in front of the White House were subjected to insults from the crowd.

“At the end of the day we’re all human. … No matter your color, at the end of the day we’re all human,” said Eddie, who declined to give his last name. “Doubtful it could happen,” the officer, who was also talking to protesters, said. “You kill somebody — how you deescalate that? He ain’t coming back, right? At this point, what you going to do?” “At least we’re talking now,” one of the demonstrators said. As the protests continued, demonstrators and Secret Service officers battled in Lafayette Park, which sits across from the White House. Protesters managed to wangle multiple shields and barricades from the officers.
