Officers were separated by fence from the protesters, and fired rubber bullets, string balls, and pepper spray through it.

The evening began with protesters crowded around Brooklyn Center Police Department.

As another improvised form of cover, protesters also made a wall of trash cans to protect their flank perpendicular to the fence separating them from the police.
A medic tells News2Share that "We've seen a lot more pepper and marker rounds" than the night before.
"Tonight we've had a lot of bruising," she said.
"I can't sit at home and do nothing."

Police ultimately formed an extremely wide and dense riot line and pushed into the protesters from the side, which caused their dispersal from the Brooklyn Center Police Department.
