Protests in Iowa continued for a fourth night last night in the wake of the George Floyd murder. The protests did not carry with them some of the violence of Sunday night. In Des Moines, an evening protest at the State Capitol drew hundreds, with many sticking around after the event. Police used tear gas to disperse the crowd around 11 last night.

Minor damage was reported in Iowa City, including the breaking of a glass door at the City Hall. Demonstrators headed home around midnight.
