The article states “Law enforcement officers in riot gear have responded with flash-bang grenades, rubber bullets and other non-lethal tactics.” New York Police told the BBC that “multiple” arrests had been made at the largely peaceful demos; from California, more than 150 arrested. And other flashpoints being Atlanta, Chicago, Philadelphia and Washington DC.
