NOW: Well over 1,000 people have gathered at the Capitol Reflecting Pool in D.C. to protest the death of George Floyd.

As I understand it, this is the group that had originally planned to gather at the U.S. Department of Justice around 2:30p.

Very peaceful demonstration so far.
Here's a pan of the entire crowd. We're now on the move. Based on banter, it appears we're headed to the White House via Pennsylvania Avenue.

At the Reflecting Pool, people sang, chanted things like "Black Lives Matter," and shouted out names of black men killed in recent years.
Chaos outside the White House!
UPDATE: Rioters have spray painted and smashed out windows of multiple U.S. Secret Service vehicles outside of the White House.

People were stomping on the vehicle's roofs and tossing objects at the police line.

This is at the corner of Pennsylvania Avenue and 17th Street.
UPDATE: It's 5:41 p.m. and law enforcement has regained control outside the White House.

I estimate the crowd of civilians is around 500 strong right now.

Plastic bottle, clothing, protest signs, even an apple are strewn on Pennsylvania Avenue, behind the police line.
Vandals spray painted a concrete column at 1700 G Street NW, a stone's throw from the White House. There is spray paint on a construction site banner as well.

We are about to head to the National Mall where we believe the demonstrators have headed, their plans, unclear.
