The Charlotte Mecklenburg Police Department said eight people were arrested Saturday during a 10-hour "protest and standoff" that stemmed from an Eritrean "cultural event."
Clashes erupted between rival groups of Eritreans, and police confirmed that officers trying to disperse the unlawful crowds were attacked by people wielding sticks, rocks and other items.
Crowds also set a tractor on fire in North Carolina's largest city, and police seized a total of two firearms over the course of several hours.
Fox News Digital reached out to the department Sunday seeking the identities and more information about those eight arrested.
The incident first began shortly after 11:30 a.m. Saturday, when CMPD’s Providence Division responded to "an unlawful protest happening in the parking lot of a business hosting an Eritrean cultural event" on Monroe Road. "Protesters were on private property and were spilling out into the road, which prompted officers to close Monroe Road. Dispersal orders were repeatedly given to protesters throughout the duration of the protest, however they refused to disperse," police said in a press release. "Charlotte Fire and MEDIC responded to assist."

“Charlotte protesters attack officers, set tractor-trailer on fire in riot at Eritrean ‘cultural event”
All ruptures find CULATURAL difference and that is the spark that lights the fights. How do we keep America with so many “different” cultures that are not willing to keep their cultures at home wherever they live. I think America learned that in it’s settlements. WE had to give up some things and Native Americans took the brunt. Maybe the answer will find it necessary to keep cultural gatherings at home base.
Huh?!

All we need is sufficient yeomanry, our own version of the Riot Act and the nerve to do a Peterloo.
Auto correct. Not a hot war but have been skirmishes off and on for some time. Hx of dome more major battling.
My best friend grew up in Eritrea (she’s white but her father had a business there). She says they’re savages.
She has high praise for the food, though.
They’re so bound and determined to turn the US into a third world s4!t40l3 that we’ll soon be able to get our news from National Geographic.
We need to send these jerks home.
Africa wins again.
