Protests And Arrests Continue In The Motor City

Somewhat out of the headlines now, protests are continuing in cities like Detroit and around the nation.

“Detroit Will Breathe organizer Tristan Taylor said police in riot gear attacked protesters between 12:15 and 12:30 a.m. Sunday after marchers blocked Woodward Avenue, between John R and Grand River in the heart of downtown, to vehicular traffic.

Taylor said the gathering was peaceful — even festive — at the end of a night of speakers and marching through downtown. Sometime after midnight, police in riot gear moved in, firing tear gas and making mass arrests.”
