There have been calls for calm in the US after a teenager who shot dead two people during racial unrest last year was cleared of all charges.
Kyle Rittenhouse, 18, argued he was acting in self-defence when he shot the men and injured a third in Wisconsin.
The verdict on Friday, which followed a high-profile trial that divided the US, sparked protests in some cities.
But politicians, including President Joe Biden, and families of the victims have urged restraint.
