Videos showed police in tactical gear confronting protesters in the middle of a street in what appeared to be a residential neighbourhood. A local news channel, The Buffalo News reported that two people were shot as protests intensified late Monday night.
About 10:15 p.m., 15 minutes after curfew, a peaceful crowd gathered at the Minneapolis site where George Floyd was killed began running toward flashing lights in the distance, saying that they won't back down from the police.
Live footages from the site captured by the Times showed protestors barricading all the streets around the downtown area to keep the police away.
The death of Floyd in police custody last week prompted nationwide protests, riots and looting in major cities.
