Other clashes were reported later in the heart of Washington, where about 400 to 500 demonstrators threw projectiles at riot police officers near the White House. The city police said in early afternoon that they arrested "about 95 people". 

"Damage to property does not bother me," Scout Holiday, a 21-year-old student at the University of Michigan, told reporters. 

"This is what happens when people are angry, and there are a lot of reasons to be angry today," she added.
