7:30pm local time:
Upwards of 30 white police SUV’s and a handful of “Black Mariahs” where in downtown Phoenix tonight. It was unclear how many marchers or participants were on scene as the were eventually dispersed. They had marched East on Washington St.
Officers dressed in all black, essentially riot gear moved into Patriot Park, 1st Ave and Washington. Marchers and police were both in the park and screams of marchers were heard. Unknown if arrests were made as none were seen being apprehended. Area residents were out taking video of this event as loud police announcements and louder helicopters are not normal in this area.
A city of Phoenix helicopter (N353FB) flew low, creating noise and shining a spotlight and continues to do so.
