Unlike Friday night when officers stood by and watched looters pillage businesses, arrests were made last night. Seven people on the roof of the Red's BBQ restaurant were taken into custody and charged with failure to disperse.

Other protesters shouted, "No Justice, No Curfew!" According to News 4, five armored police vehicles moved in. An officer used a loudspeaker to warn citizens still on the street: "You are in violation of a state-imposed curfew. You must disperse immediately. Failure to comply, may result in arrest."
