Scene near Opaline near White House. We hear explosions (tear gas?). At least one protester was stomping on top the police car before law enforcement arrived. @wusa9 #GeorgeFloydProtests pic.twitter.com/z88VMTOYh2

There are three sets of metal barricades separating H Street from the White House today, and protesters have easily managed to pull down the first and move into the northern third of Lafayette Park.

No pushback from police who’ve formed a loose cordon further in. pic.twitter.com/qPICMQg32P
