ISP has moved protesters from the curb and past the sidewalk and are now in a standoff with protesters. Earlier a small group of protesters arrived by marching into the street and that caused officers to surge.

An ISP commander told protesters he’s moving his officers away, but if protesters go into the street again that they’ll be arrested.

An agitator who protesters are saying is a proud boy came over trying to instigate things with protesters. He kicked a protester while police watched only reacting as protesters surged towards the man.
