The protests delayed vehicle traffic, light rail services and bus services. This video shows protesters stomping on vehicles stuck in traffic and confronting officers.“Unlike Thursday’s largely peaceful march, the protest appeared to be loosely organized, at best. The group spent hours marching haphazardly through downtown streets, stopping twice at the Capitol and making decisions on the fly as to where to go next,” the Sacramento Bee report said.Clark was in his grandparent’s backyard, holding a cellphone, and was shot at least 20 times by two officers. Police released video and audio recordings of the incident on March 21. Credit: Anakalia N. Green via Storyful
