Demonstrators were met with at least 70 St. Louis County SWAT team members and a heavy vehicle while protesting early Wednesday evening. Journalists Ryan J. Reilly and Wesley Lowery were arrested, then released, as was at least one state lawmaker.

"Officers decided we weren't leaving McDonalds quickly enough, shouldn't have been taping them," Lowery posted on Twitter, adding that Reilly was "assaulted" by officers during his arrest.

Update, 10:30 p.m. EST: Police fired tear gas and rubber bullets at the protesters, including some shots onto private residences. Watch footage, as posted online, below.
