HUNTSVILLE, Ala. — Multiple arrests were made in Huntsville as police attempted to clear what they called an "unlawful assembly" from Courthouse Square and Big Spring Park in downtown Huntsville Wednesday night.
The vast majority of protesters were protesting peacefully, according to many live videos broadcast from the scene.
Officers say that the crowd was told many times to disperse and that they were told there were people in the crowd with weapons.
