PROTESTERS pushed through a police barricade and climbed on top of Secret Service vehicles at the White House on Saturday.
Secret Service agents and police clashed with protesters, as demonstrations in Washington DC raged.
Video emerged on of demonstrators shouting into megaphones and standing on cars.
Protesters were holding signs that read “Black Lives Matter” and “Justice for George Floyd.”
A WTOP journalist on the scene said that people were being hit with pepper spray and at least one person was tossed to the ground and presumably arrested.
Members of the public came face to face with Secret Service officers who were barricading them.
Earlier, President Donald Trump praised the Secret Service for coming down on “frisky or out of line” protesters “hard.”
His comments came after demonstrators gathered outside the White House on Friday to protest the death of George Floyd.
Protesters across the nation have gathered in cities across the nation to protest Floyd’s death, after he died on Monday when Minnesota cop Derek Chauvin kneeled on his neck during an arrest.
“Great job last night at the White House by the U.S. @SecretService,” Trump tweeted early Saturday.
