Approximately 200 people gathered downtown Saturday afternoon as part of a nationwide protest against police brutality, according to the Los Angeles Police Department.
The Coalition Against Police Brutality’s 10th annual march, which featured rallies in more than 20 cities, was aimed at exposing excessive use of force by officers around the country, according to the coalition’s website.
An LAPD spokesman said that the downtown march was mostly peaceful, but that there were several arrests for disorderly conduct.
