'I've been giving what money I can to groups but after what he did — deploying the military against Americans — there was just no way I was staying home,' one protester said.
A large group across the street from the White House took a knee at 7 p.m. ET, when the curfew went into effect, and announced that they weren't going anywhere, chanting,"F--- your curfew." They also chanted"Vote him out" and"Who do you protect?"
Attorney General William Barr had said in a statement earlier in the day that more law enforcement would be on hand Tuesday. The crowd started to break up voluntarily around 7:30 p.m., with some protesters heading home and others marching toward the Capitol as a smaller contingent stayed near the White House.The relatively placid scene was far different from that of Monday, when the federal forces went after the peaceful protesters to force them to disperse almost a half-hour before the curfew took effect, using smoke and, according to witnesses, tear gas.
