Curfews have been ordered in cities across the US to try to stem unrest sparked by the death of a black man in police custody.
Largely peaceful protests later turned violent in many areas, with cars and buildings set alight and riot police using tear gas and rubber bullets.
President Donald Trump urged “healing” over the death of George Floyd but said he could not allow mobs to dominate.
An ex-policeman has been charged with murdering Mr Floyd, 46, in Minneapolis.
Derek Chauvin, 44 and white, is due to appear in court on Monday.

Three other officers present at the time have also since been sacked.
