The scene from the other night in Orlando when police pepper sprayed protestors outside of the Amway Centre. Not exactly sure what provoked it but it was pepper spray vs water bottles for a moment before the protest carried on. Unfortunately an older gentlemen in a scooter was caught in the crossfire. So far protests have remained 99% peaceful with the exception of a few of these instances per night. Sometimes it’s tear gas and rubber bullets. Police the Police 3.0 MrCheckpoint

After 10 hours of peaceful protesting, tear gas was eventually deployed on the 408 ramp to keep protestors from taking the highway over. More gas was deployed on Orange Ave in Downtown. At times when police were being surrounded and antagonized other protestors were forming a wall to diffuse the situation and keep the peace. This was the final scene for the night outside the police station with a wall of police in riot gear. Mostly peaceful day and cops showed pretty good restraint throughout it all. There may have been one arrest but not confirmed.
