\n\t\t\t\tSeveral fires were set just blocks from the White House…\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<\/article><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n

The night began with several peaceful demonstrations that originated in Times Square and at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn.<\/p>\n

Ralliers from Manhattan and Brooklyn each marched into the other borough, shutting down the Brooklyn Bridge in the process.<\/p>\n

Crowds chanted \u201cI can\u2019t breathe\u201d and \u201canti-violence\u201d along the way.<\/p>\n

But, similar to the past two nights, once darkness fell, some protests became unsettled.<\/p>\n

Besides the looting, protesters and cops clashed at a number of spots, including the Barclays Center and Bryant Park.<\/p>\n

Mayor Bill de Blasio late Sunday said he stopped by the Barclays Center to assess the situation.<\/p>\n

\u201cJust checked on situation around the Barclays Center. Lots of protesters moving around and plenty of police presence. On my way now to check on Lower Manhattan,\u201d he tweeted.<\/p>\n

Many high-end stores in Soho were also vandalized Sunday night, including Prada on Broadway and Ganni on Grand Street.<\/p>\n

About 20 officers wielding batons were posted outside Prada on Sunday night, screaming at protesters to \u201cGet off the street!\u201d<\/p>\n

A number of police vehicles were also again vandalized in Lower Manhattan.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
