In Washington, D.C., hundreds of protesters, if not thousands, have assembled outside of the White House.
The protest then headed to in front of the White House. A protester was taken by the USSS in front of Pennsylvania Ave into an adjacent federal building. Unclear what he did.A couple men then splintered off from the group and spray painted “F*ck Trump” on the building. @cbsnewspic.twitter.com/OVwPu0PF6X
#NOW: On the fourth day of nationwide protests after the death of George Floyd, hundreds are setting out from DC’s U Street for a march toward the White House.

Protesters continue to clash with Secret Service in front of the White House.
“Every last one of you knows a crooked cop and you do nothing because you’re fucking cowards,” a man yells at the Secret Service. “You’re complicit.” Another protester chimes in: “Fix the broken system.” pic.twitter.com/GOQvqJkOrr
Calmer now with loud and ceaseless chanting at the White House, among the shouts here: George Floyd, say his name/No morals, no peace/Stop killing us/I can’t breathe. “None of us WANT to be here in the middle of a pandemic,” a protester yells out from the crowd behind me. pic.twitter.com/OW7KBFR96T

Protesters "temporarily shut down the northbound lanes of 288 going into downtown Houston Friday afternoon," tweeted Houston Chronicles' Mark Mulligan.
Nationwide protests are likely to get worse through the weekend. It's only a matter of time before more governors deploy the Nation Guard to restore order. America is quickly descending into chaos. Watch Protests Live: Live: George Floyd Death Protests Around The U.S. | NBC News
