ROCHESTER, N.Y. -- More than 70 demonstrators were arrested and two reporters were detained in Rochester during a Black Lives Matter protest.The protest ended.
Starting at 4 p.m. Friday, hundreds of people gathered near Liberty Pole Way for a protest in the wake of the deaths of Alton Sterling and Philando Castile -- black men who were shot and killed by police in Louisiana and Minnesota this week.
Rochester Police Chief Michael Ciminelli said police knew about the rally before it happened and worked to communicate with organizers.
A group of about 400 people chanted as they marched through downtown Rochester. The march turned tense when protesters stopped at the Strong Museum and encountered a line of police in riot gear, reported the Democrat & Chronicle.
The tense moment ended peacefully, and protesters resumed their march -- parading back to the Liberty Pole, reported the Democrat & Chronicle.
