Several cities across the country cleaned up after a night of protests over the death of George Floyd, who died after he was pinned to the ground by a police officer in Minneapolis.
One of the officers involved in the incident, Derek Chauvin, was charged with third-degree murder and manslaughter on Friday.
The National Guard was activated in states like Minnesota, Georgia, Washington. Cities similarly enacted late night curfews, too.

An army of volunteers are tackling the clean up in Center City and Rittenhouse. The healing process has begun. Peaceful protests splintered off into violence and looting last night... this morning were seeing the best of Philly! @6abc#PhillyProtests#PhillyCleanUppic.twitter.com/JmRJAuoUTZ
