US: Thousands near White House protest death of Floyd

Thousands of protesters in the nation's capital knelt and sang "Amazing Grace" on Wednesday, the sixth night of protests over the death of George Floyd in Minnesota.

One protester led the chant "No Justice, no peace," ending with an emotional hug from another protester.

As the protesters sang and chanted, troops in riot gear stood watching over the crowd, which stretched down 16th Street near the White House.

Washington, D.C., Mayor Muriel Bowser imposed an 11 p.m. curfew after a peaceful night of protests. The curfew then had been 7 p.m.
