With tensions already running high
Online Cigarettes
Store USA over the fatal shooting of a 21-year-old
Black man by sheriff's deputies, protests this weekend in
Vancouver, Washington, devolved into reported vandalism
of businesses and fights between demonstrators demanding
justice and members of right-wing groups that converged
in the city.
Kevin Peterson Jr. was shot to death on Thursday evening
by Clark County sheriff's deputies in Hazel Dell, an
unincorporated area of Vancouver, prompting consecutive
nights of protests that led to at least six arrests early
Saturday after authorities said some demonstrators
ignored orders to disperse and began hurling rocks at law
enforcement officers outside the Clark County Jail in
Vancouver.
On Saturday night, members of a right-wing
Newport Cigarettes
Shop group gathered in Esther Park in Vancouver,
prompting police to close the park. Those protesting
Peterson's shooting and counter-demonstrators stood on
opposite sides of a downtown Vancouver street arguing as
a large police presence attempted to prevent the
confrontation from escalating into violence.
On Friday night, video taken by ABC affiliate KATU in
Portland, Oregon, showed fights breaking out between
protesters and counter-protesters in Vancouver following
a vigil for Peterson. Peterson was shot dead around 6 p.
m. Thursday by three Clark County sheriff's deputies in
the parking lot of a bank in Hazel Dell, just north of
downtown Vancouver, law enforcement officials said.
An independent investigation of the deadly encounter is
being led by the Camas Police Department and the
Southwest Washington Independent Investigative Response
Team, which is comprised of certified peace officers and
non-law enforcement community representatives.
During a brief news conference on Friday, Clark County
Sheriff Chuck Atkins said the shooting unfolded as
detectives of the Clark/Vancouver Drug Task Force were
investigating suspected drug dealing in the parking lot
of a motel in Hazel Dell. He said detectives spotted a
man sitting alone in a car and as they approached the
vehicle, the occupant got out and ran.
