LA Chalk Walk Protest Draws Riot Police





Riot police formed skirmish lines in the streets of downtown Los Angeles Thursday night in response to what appeared to be a demonstration over the right to draw with chalk.

The action, called Chalk Walk, was meant to protest a slew of arrests in the past month of people who were writing with chalk on the street.

"Everyone was peaceful. The tone was jovial for Art Walk," said Aichele. "I didn’t see anyone being violent or aggressive."
