Protesters Converge on Washington Over Death of African American Man

Protesters are streaming into the nation's capital, Saturday, June 6, for what is expected to be the city's largest demonstration yet against police brutality. ––––––––– READ MORE: People are taking to the streets of Washington Saturday for what is expected to be a large protest, a continuation of days of demonstrations in the city and across the U.S. over the death of an African American man who died after being restrained by a white policeman. The chief of the Metropolitan Police Department of the District of Columbia, Peter Newsham, said authorities “anticipate numbers that are larger than any of the numbers that we’ve seen to this point.” Washington Mayor Muriel Bowser sent a letter Thursday to President Donald Trump asking him to “withdraw all extraordinary federal law enforcement and military presence from Washington, D.C.” The Trump administration has deployed federal law enforcers and the National Guard to respond the protests in the city, triggering widespread criticism from city officials and activists that their actions are escalating tensions. Mayor Bowser denounced federal law enforcement officials patrolling the streets and taking action without regard to “established chains of command.” ––––––––– LINK: https://www.voanews.com/usa/nation-tu...
