Los Angeles, Atlanta, Portland, and Denver are among the restricting movement to try and curb more violence. But, in Minneapolis, people are again defying the orders and continuing to make their voices heard on the streets.

CNN describes the chaos as in war zone-like scenes. Outraged, hurt, and shouting through masks worn to protect themselves from coronavirus, thousands poured onto streets in demonstrations. While some were peaceful, others ended in chaos and devastation.

Some people launched fireworks and threw bottles at the officers. Others torched buildings, burned police cars, and looted stores.

Police responded with rubber bullets, tear gas and arrests. Mayors from at least 25 cities ordered people off the streets. Some states called in National Guard soldiers by the hundreds to respond to the unrest.

Some protesters stayed out past 2 a.m. Sunday, long after police cleared them from the front of Cincinnati Police District 1 headquarters in the West End before the curfew even began.

A large group walked up Vine Street to McMillan Street and Ohio Avenue near the University of Cincinnati in the Clifton/Corryville area.

By early Sunday, police said their officers and a SWAT team had to break up a large group at the intersection.

Gunshots were heard, an officer’s helmet was struck by a bullet, trash cans were thrown into the streets, fires were set, business windows were smashed and at least two police vehicles were damaged.

Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti asked for the National Guard to be deployed as protesters clashed with police, vandalizing stores and other properties, CNBC reported.
