Video not loading but what a moment at 26th and Broadway, where #DavidMcAtee was killed last night.

Just witnessed:

1. a woman work to keep an aggressive mentally ill man away from officers

2. an LMPD officer who stepped forward to engage in confrontation be pulled back by a fellow officer

3. protesters in the back of the crowd hurl plastic water bottles across broadway at officers

4. dozens of other protesters respond with their hands up, walking in between the crowd in the officers, begging for the throwing to stop

5. throwing stopped.

officers got in their cars and drove away.

cheers and relief from the crowd.
