<Anchor> The

US protests, which celebrated the 8th day today (2nd), have seen gunfire in the city streets like a battlefield and a violent conflict continues. On the other hand, thousands of people gather during the day to march in peace.

Correspondent Correspondent Kim Soo-hyung interviewed 24 hours for the protesters in Washington.

Traces of violent protests were left as graffiti throughout Washington DC buildings and sculptures.

The warehouse in Lafayette Park, just behind the White House, turned into ashes after an overnight fire.

Despite President Trump's threat, protesters gathered again near the White House.

The tragedy of Mr. Floyd, who died of being struck by a white police officer, says it seems unlikely.

[Jada/Protesters: Who is next? The victim could be my husband or my son. This should not happen.]

Thousands of people gathered today and a peace march began.

[Black people's lives are also important! Black people's life is also important!]

From the person with crutches, the person with the dog, the bicycle bag, and the stroller bag can be seen.


Some merchants give water to the protesters for free.

[If you are thirsty, you should drink water. If you don't drink water, you won't be able to protest more.]

There is also criticism that the violence of the police leads to violent protests.

[Cat/Protesters: The police have called for violent protesters. Police tried to heighten the situation.] The

tear gas was fired at the protesters who returned after the march.

He went through the protests roughly with clubs and shields, and then punched anyone.

Armored cars have also appeared in the White House.

At night, combat helicopters flies over the protesters and threatens them.

In Washington, DC, a nighttime curfew came into effect, and human traffic was completely cut off.

As you can see, military cars and police cars completely blocked the protesters a few blocks before the White House.

Some of the scattered demonstrators threw stones into shops or smashed the doors at night, stealing items.

Correspondent Kim Soo-hyung, you can see the White House from the back here, but where do you stand now?

<Reporter>

I can see the White House about 200 meters back, near the church that Trump visited yesterday to take pictures.

Now, the traffic was blocked by vehicles, but at dawn, Secret Service agents held shields and bludgeons to block everyone's traffic.

At dawn, you could see the state defense and border guards, which were armed with machine guns and pistols loaded with live ammunition.

Some demonstrators approached and fertilized them, but as long as there was no act of violence, the conflict was avoided.

But while watching the news in Korea, it is part of why many people are curious about protesting racial discrimination.

<Reporter> During the

corona crisis, it's probably a difficult part for Koreans to understand the looting and the looting in this protest.

It is difficult to explain the reason for looting in one word, but when I watched it in the field, I found that the nature of the protesters during the day and night were different.

The daytime protests were extremely normal and peaceful, with the number of protesters showing violent appearance increasing at night.


Through the Corona 19, the United States suffered a great deal of socio-economic damage, and the tantrum is expressed in various ways.

Then, in the United States, are you talking about such violent behavior and restraining it?

<Reporter>

Yes, it is. As President Trump has declared a strong response to mobilizing the military, there are many voices fearing that some protests against racial discrimination will be blocked by some looting and arson.

Floyd's family, who died, also urged violence.

[Mr. Terrence/Mr. Floyd: They want us to destroy our stuff. That doesn't change. Let's do it the other way.] In

Washington demonstrations yesterday, protesters caught a man who seemed to be preparing for an extremist protest by breaking a block with a hammer and handed over to the police.

In the early stages of the protests, the shops were also heavily defended, and now most of the shops are preparing for looting by putting thick plywood on the door.
