A small group of demonstrators took to the streets in downtown Dallas on Wednesday night to protest police use of force against black people, despite the police chief's request that they stay away out of concern for officers' safety. Police Chief David Brown told the organizer of the demonstration that holding such events downtown poses a tactical threat to officers. The group behind Wednesday's protest was the same one that planned the July 7 protest and march that ended in the sniper shooting deaths of five law enforcement officers.
