According to ABC, there were also counter-demonstrations. At least two cars drove into a group of people. Videos were circulating on social media showing the driver of a car spraying a substance and driving a man.
The trigger for the three-day protests in Rochester was a brutal police operation in which a black man died. Seven officers were suspended from duty on Thursday. The incident itself occurred in March.
A video released on Wednesday shows how several police officers arrest a 41-year-old man who is running naked and apparently under the influence of drugs. They pull a kind of hood over him to protect them from being spat on and press his head on the asphalt. The man died in the hospital a week later.
