context_page_description: Washington, D.C., the capital of the United States, has seen a series of protests following the killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis. Most of the events were peaceful, while some involved violence, looting and destruction of property.
context_section_description: On June 5 muralists painted the words "Black Lives Matter" in 35-foot letters on 16th Street NW leading up to the White House and Lafayette Square with the assistance of the city government, which gave the section of the street the honorary name Black Lives Matter Plaza.
  Mayor Bowser asked Trump to "withdraw all extraordinary law enforcement and military presence from Washington, D.C.", noting that protests the night before had been peaceful and she has ended the protest-related state of emergency in the city. The Pentagon later that day announced it was withdrawing 1,600 active-duty troops it had deployed near the city.
