Weird thing happened a short time ago. A man set off fireworks illegally in the street a few blocks north of the White House. Suddenly we see a green laser come from the roof of the White House. He walks by a few moments later and says they shined it right at him. #DCProtests

Protesters just aimed a flood light and green laser pointer at law enforcement perched on the roof of a building at 888 16th Street NW.

The Arlington Memorial Bridge is temporarily closed as protesters march from Arlington to the White House.
Protesters tell me they’ve been walking for an hour.
They still have a ways to go. #dcprotest @wusa9 pic.twitter.com/4i7Gqt9Rtr— Kolbie Satterfield (@KolbieReports) June 6, 2020

The line of protesters coming across the Arlington Memorial Bridge seems to be never ending.
One protester estimated one to two thousand people are in this group.
They are making their way to the White House.

4. Statement from Fox News:
“The infographic used to illustrate market reactions to historic periods of civil unrest should have never aired on television without full context. We apologize for the insensitivity of the image and take this issue seriously.”
