One arrest was for damage to a police car, a second was for punching a police officer, while the third was for an undisclosed reason, according to the official. "We have faith in the Criminal Justice System. That faith is what we will lean on in the coming days, weeks, and months to ensure the totality of circumstances is revealed" the statement added.
The protest began with a candlelight vigil but escalated as police and protesters engaged in direct confrontation. Officers were seen wearing riot gear and lined up on the streets outside police headquarters, preparing to control the crowd.
