Pennsylvania State Police on Saturday responded to a call to assist Harrisburg Police in responding to protests in Harrisburg that had turned violent.
In an email to PennLive, Trooper Brent Miller, the spokesman for state police, said: “Local departments have requested the assistance of the Pennsylvania State Police. Troopers are currently responding to the Harrisburg Area to assist.”
Reports of multiple other local law enforcement departments had been received.
Saturday’s Black Lives Matter rally in Harrisburg, which had gathered in protest of the George Floyd death in police custody, began peacefully around noon but a few hours later, deteriorated into violent clashes between protest participants and police.
The scene unfolded near the state Capitol as police in riot gear clashed with protesters.
At least one brick had been thrown at a police car, according to an eye witness; and scores of people reported tear gas being used on the crowd.
There were reports of people chanting obscenities at officers. Police reportedly used pepper spray into the crowd.
“The peaceful protest has ceased. That part is over,” said Alexia Brown, a college student from the Harrisburg area who took part in the protest earlier in the day, but remained at a distance to watch the violent clash. “There was a march started along Front Street with a lot of cops...a lot of cops came out in riot gear and were being very aggressive to those marching.” <
This man is repeating many of Geogre Floyd’s words. He just asked one officer “do you feel my pain?” pic.twitter.com/wrpMaWFP9Y — Becky Metrick (@BeckyMetrick) May 30, 2020
Eamonn Wrightstone, the organizer of Saturday’s Black Lives Matter gathering told PennLive that the scene was volatile and scary.
“People have been hit, children have been tear gassed,” he wrote.
Prayers up for their recovery!
