#HAPPENING NOW: Black Lives Matter/Defund the Police protestors at Boise City Hall. Counter protestors supporting police also here. Several hundred protestors on each side. Police have closed Capitol from Main to Idaho St because of crowd. More @KTVB
Overall peaceful, no major chaos but there have been a few shoving matches and several verbal confrontations between the two groups. "Black Lives Matter" and "Defund the Police" chants mixing with other sides "Blue Lives Matter" and "USA!" Chants.
More from the protests at city hall
Currently speakers for Black Lives Matter are sharing personal experiences of racism, counter protestors chanting "USA" over speech. Amid earlier chants to defund the police, many counter protestors yelled "go home!"
One shoving fight that broke out next to me. I have seen several others. For perspective, there are also several people on both sides working to keep the peace each time arguments break out.
More pics from the protests.
There is a certain level of hostility here. Someone even yelled "F*** the media" and spit on me while trying to cover these protests. Things are a little heated compared to previous protests I've covered.
