Police Cruisers On Fire, Vandalism Continues in Downtown Cleveland

The eruptions came amid protests over George Floyd's death

Black Lives Matter Cleveland joins the “call for justice” to protest the death of George Floyd at the hands of a Minneapolis police officer. The organization invited the community to come to the Free Stamp at Williard Park at the intersection of E. 9th Street and Lakeside Avenue East on Saturday at 1:30 p.m. for a “peaceful” protest.

However, protestors set two Cleveland Police cruisers on fire, vandalized the Justice Center with graphic graffiti, threw objects at the Justice Center in an attempt to break windows and struck officers with those objects, according to police.

Police said protesters also threw objects at the mounted unit and police horses.
