Police clear scene of protest

Police clear scene of protest

You're taking a live look at downtown huntsville where law enforcement is still working to clear the area after hundreds gathered for a protest after the killing of george floyd in minneapolis.

That protest was peaceful for hours before police were forced to use smoke and tear gas to clear the area.

In the last 30 minutes, police told us officers arrested at least 20 people after they refused to leave after the rally.

You can see the scene in downtown huntsville.

Police used some sort of smoke and at least one protestor threw it back at them!
