After the pickup incident, some people put more fences, the charred dumpster, and vehicles in the street.

LRAD back. Unlawful assembly declared. PPB warning that tear gas may be used. And it looks like some got fired mid-warning from the other direction.

Police are here trying to investigate. Crowd yelling, "We don't need you."

Officers leaving now. LRAD announcing they have concluded their investigation. No idea what, if anything, they found.

People in the crowd threw things at officers as they drove away. Police threw flashbangs and smoke in response.

Some crowd members have been arguing with the driver of this SUV for several minutes. He has been sitting at the light on Denver for a long time. A few people complained it was a traffic violation and that he is blocking other cars from getting through.
