After a tumultuous and tragic week in the U.S., protesters have been arrested in Baton Rogue, Louisiana on Saturday.

He appeared to be walking down the street alongside protestors who were yelling "no justice, no peace, no racist police" as police lights flash in the background.
"You in them loud shoes, if I see you in the road, if I get close to you, you're going to jail," a man says. "I think he's talking to me ya'll," Mckesson comments.
Minutes later, the camera jerks as a man says: "This is the police. Don't fight me. Don't fight me." Other protesters continue to stream after his arrest and demand to know where he is being taken.

Protesters rallied Saturday at the convenience store where Sterling was shot, at the police department and at the state Capitol, resulting in 30 arrests.
