A very different end to the evening in New York City tonight.
The earlier curfew, widespread boarding up of doors / windows, and the decision to radically reduce traffic which allowed police to be much more nimble, seems to have clamped down on the chaos of Monday night.

The scene at the White House is so much calmer tonight. The protesters aren't acting any different tonight, but there's been no tear gassing, no rubber bullets. Even with ATF, DHS, MPD, Park, military police, DEA, etc., everyone seems fairly relaxed.
— Susan Simpson (@TheViewFromLL2) June 3, 2020
Police formed a line and walked across the street and everybody left. No tear gas or anything. Some officers are still lingering on the capital steps, but the street has cleared.

There have been some tense but brief standoffs. But ultimately these appear to be curfew violations — admin code breaches. Well over 50 have been detained. It’s really quiet now — few chants, some muted clapping. A second LA Sheriffs Dept bus is here. pic.twitter.com/AUKPK6t4o1
