'Die-in' takes place at MLK Memorial, no curfew imposed for DC as demonstrations continue.

There were zero arrests made on Wednesday, D.C. Police Chief Newsham said. Protesters were still out in the streets of D.C. early Thursday morning despite an issued curfew on Wednesday that went into effect from 11 p.m. to 6 a.m.

The sixth night of protests remained peaceful.

There were fewer crowds seen in the District on Thursday, but there continues to be a strong military, police and riot control presence, in the midst of peaceful demonstrations around Washington.

Many families have been seen taking part in protests that have gone on now for seven days straight.

Investigators have been talking with residents in the area of 15th and Swann Streets after protesters Monday evening were corralled into the area during arrests being made in the area. Dozens fled into houses so they would not get arrested.'
