‘Kill the police’
Demonstrators in Indianapolis on Saturday threw rocks at police, slightly injuring two officers, said Police Chief Troy Riggs.
Some protesters began chanting “Kill the Police,” and officers moved in to arrest seven demonstrators.
Police briefly fired pepper balls into the crowd during the confrontation.
“We believe that we have some instigators that arrived in our city,” trying to start a riot, Riggs said.
Several hundred demonstrators marched through downtown Portland, Oregon,
for the fourth night on Saturday despite calls from the mayor and
police chief for calm.
Authorities made multiple arrests after protesters threw bottles and
other items at officers in riot gear and blocked streets and light rail
lines.
On Friday night, police used flash-bang grenades to disperse a crowd of hundreds in the downtown area.
Seventeen people were arrested and one man was shot and suffered
non-life-threatening injuries in what police described as a
confrontation with gang members.
Two people were arrested on attempted murder charges.
