Local police, state police and the National Guard then launched sound bombs and tear gas at the group, causing protesters to scatter, many stampeding toward a grassy slope on one side of the highway. An officer standing on an armored vehicle pointed what looked like a rifle, presumably with rubber bullets, at a crowd of running protesters.
The New York Democrat also took aim at President Trump, suggesting that the president's refusal to deliver an address in the wake of Floyd's killing shows that he is"unwilling even to speak to the nation about racial justice."

Suddenly the officer, an African American whose uniform gave his name as P.D. Harris, briefly sank to his knee. “You’re a good man, Officer,” West shouted. “All of you can do it. Be like Officer Harris.”But by now, Officer Harris was on his feet. “Do it again,” urged Edward Dana, a 24 year old University of D.C. student and employee of the department of disability services.
