The protests appeared to be controlled until about 8 p.m. when officers started using flash bangs and tear gas to disperse the crowd after some had reportedly started throwing rocks and water bottles at officers.

A haze of smoke hung over the Civic Center Station and City and County Building several minutes after the tear gas had been deployed.
