Tensions ran high at protests against the police shootings this week in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and in Minnesota after the police shooting deaths of Alton Sterling and Philando Castile.
Advocate reporter Bryn Stole was on the scene in Baton Rouge and captured footage of the tense scenes emerging as protesters faced off with Baton Rouge police and state officers. Sterling and Philando Castile, of Falcon Heights, Minnesota, were both shot and killed in shocking videos posted online this week, which has stoked ongoing protests over police killings of people of color.
The protest comes after five Dallas police officers were killed by a shooter on Thursday night while patrolling a peaceful demonstration.
Adrienne Broaddus of KARE11 captured events from Minnesota and posted videos to Twitter as well.
Protesters marched in other major cities.
