Hmmmm. Nothing in the article reflects and attack on the White House, in this 6 year old story, related to the George Flyod killing riots, so not likely anybody would think it an insurrection against the US Government, unlike the 2021 failed attack on the Capital, to disrupt the recording of the electoral college vote, confirming the Trump loss to Joe Biden Jr in the Presidential election.
Protests against the police killing of George Floyd occurred in over 2,000 cities and towns across all 50 states in the United States. Additionally, protests took place in over 60 other countries worldwide, but not directed at the US Government, but police brutality in general, as no Federal Officers were involved in the killing, of Floyd, perpetrated by Minneapolis Police Officer Dereck Chauvin, who was arrested, charged, kicked off the force, found guilty of
second-degree murder,
third-degree murder, and second-degree
manslaughter, convicted on all of the charges. He was sentenced to 22+1⁄2 years in prison. But, as far as I can remember, no Federal Authorities were involved. Washington just happened to be one of the 2,000 cities in the US, people protested the killing.
I am glad I could definitively answer that for you, as your dated article left out most of the details, probably why you were confused.
