From a truck parked in the eastbound lanes, protest organizers chanted slogans, spoke of racial injustice and urged the crowd to remain peaceful. The group mostly complied early on, but later into the night, police were targeted with rocks, fireworks and construction rebar taken from the roadway.

Scores of white demonstrators stood side-by-side at the perimeter of the crowd to protect others from arrest. Many were taken into custody.

Peaceful protesting can be effective, but this is absolutely couterproductive.

As opposed to the unjustified killing of black people by the police?
