PROTESTERS WERE REFUSING TO LEAVE.
LEAVE.
LEAVE. WE
LEAVE. WE WILL SEND IT BACK TO YOU.
>> YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT LOCALS
COMING IN.
COMING IN. LET ME STOP, BECAUSE WE ARE
LOOKING AT A PLUME OF TEARGAS.
I'M NOT QUITE SURE WHERE THIS
LIVE SHOT IS.
THERE IS HOPE RIGHT NOW.
HOPE, IT IS ALL YOURS.
>> Reporter: YEAH, SO WE ARE
RIGHT BY THE OLYMPIC PARK SIGN,
BY THE WAFFLE HOUSE, IN FRONT
OF THE FERRIS WHEEL.
WE WERE RIGHT THERE, WHEN THEY
STARTED FIRING OFF THAT
TEARGAS.
TEARGAS.
TEARGAS. WE WERE RIGHT THERE IN THE
MIDDLE WHEN THEY ALL STARTED TO
MOVE FORWARD.
MOVE FORWARD. MOVING FORWARD TO PUSH THE
PROTESTERS BACK.
PROTESTERS BACK. THERE WERE PROTESTERS RUNNING
IN SEVERAL DIRECTIONS, TRYING
TO GET AWAY.
WE SAW PEOPLE CHOKING AND
THROWING UP FROM THE AMOUNT OF
GAS BEING USED.
THEY HAVE MOVED UP MORE, TO
PUSH BACK THOSE PEOPLE WHO ARE
REALLY ACROSS THE INTERSECTION
RIGHT HERE.
RIGHT HERE. ACROSS THE INTERSECTION, KIND
OF STANDING THERE.
EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE, THE
POLICE YOU ARE SEEING HERE
START TO MOVE FORWARD A LITTLE
BIT MORE, TO CONTINUE TO PUSH
THOSE PEOPLE BACK.
SO WHAT WE ARE SEEING HERE,
AGAIN, I HOPE YOU CAN SEE.
ON THE OTHER SIDE, THEY ARE
STILL STANDING THERE.
NO ONE HAS COME TOWARD THE
POLICE LINE THAT YOU ARE
SEEING.
SEEING.
SEEING. THEY ARE MAINTAINING THAT
DISTANCE, BECAUSE ANYTIME THEY
DO, THEY START TO MOVE FORWARD.
THEY START DROPPING SMOKE
BOMBS, TEARGAS, AT THAT POINT.
WE DID SEE A COUPLE OF PEOPLE
ARRESTED IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE
TEARGAS WAS USED.
ONE PERSON WAS LED AWAY,
SHIRTLESS AND BLOODY.
A COUPLE OTHERS ARE BEING
ARRESTED RIGHT NOW.
THEY ARE IN A WAITING PATTERN
RIGHT NOW.
RIGHT NOW. WAITING TO SEE WHAT THE OTHER
SIDE IS GOING TO DO.
BOTH SIDES ARE WAITING TO SEE
WHAT THE OTHER WILL DO.
>> I HAVE A QUESTION.
YOU ARE FACING LUCKY STREAK,
THE STREET THAT RUNS PAST THE
TABERNACLE.
TABERNACLE. OUR POLICE ALLOWING PROTESTERS
THROUGH THERE OR HAVE THEY
BLOCKED IT OFF SO THERE IS NO
ACCESS TO GET IN OR OUT?
>> Reporter: THERE IS NO ACCESS.
I WILL TURN AROUND A LITTLE
BIT, JUST TO SHOW THAT BACK
HERE IT IS JUST MORE POLICE.
YOU SEE THE TRUCKS MOVING IN.
YOU SEE MORE POLICE PRESENCE,
ALL THE WAY BACK TO THE FERRIS
WHEEL.
WHEEL.
WHEEL. SO
WHEEL. SO THEY ARE NOT LETTING ANYBODY
ONTO THIS ROAD.
THEY ARE TRYING TO PUSH THEM
BACK, TRYING TO DISPERSE THEM,
TRYING TO GET THEM TO GO HOME.
THEY'RE NOT LETTING ANYONE
THROUGH.
THROUGH.
THROUGH. THIS LINE, OF COURSE, GOES ALL
THE WAY DOWN THE STREET OVER
THERE.
THERE.
THERE. >>
THERE. >> ARE YOU SEEING JUST A FEW
ARRESTS OR A LOT OF ARRESTS?
>> Reporter: THERE ARE A FEW
PEOPLE, I'M SORRY, GO AHEAD?
>> ARE THERE JUST A FEW ARRESTS
HERE AND THERE OR ARE THEY
MAKING ARRESTS IN MASS, TRYING
TO CLEAR THE AREA?
>> Reporter: FROM MY VANTAGE
POINT THEY WERE DEPLOYING GAS
TO PUSH PEOPLE BACK IN THOSE
WHO REMAIN, THAT IS WHO THEY
ARREST.
ARREST.
ARREST. WE ONLY SOUGHT TO ARREST WHEN
THE 9:00 OUR HIT AND THE GAS
WAS DEPLOYED.
WAS DEPLOYED. THERE WERE ONLY TWO PEOPLE WE
SAW BEING LED AWAY, BECAUSE FOR
THE MOST PART THE MAJORITY OF
PEOPLE SCATTERED.
PEOPLE SCATTERED. THE MAJORITY OF PEOPLE RAN.
WHAT YOU'RE WATCHING RIGHT NOW,
THERE ARE A COUPLE OF PEOPLE
COMING OUT TO THE STREET.
THERE ARE FIREWORKS, THAT WE
HAVE SEEN THROWN AT THE POLICE
PRESENCE, LAST NIGHT AND STILL
HERE TONIGHT.
HERE TONIGHT. YOU CAN SEE ALL THOSE PEOPLE
ACROSS THE STREET.
THE POLICE LINE IS NOT MOVING
FORWARD.
FORWARD.
FORWARD. PROTESTERS ON THE OTHER SIDE
ARE NOT MOVING FORWARD, EITHER.
WE ARE KIND OF IN THAT WAITING
PATTERN TO SEE.
IT LOOKS LIKE BOTH SIDES ARE
WAITING TO SEE WHAT EACH ONE IS
GOING TO DO.
>> HOPE, LAST NIGHT, AS WE
APPROACHED THIS TIME WE HAD A
LOT OF FIRES BEFORE THE 9:00
HOUR.
HOUR.
HOUR. IS
HOUR. IS THIS THE FIRST FIRE WE HAVE
SEEN TONIGHT?
SEEN TONIGHT? >> Reporter: AS FAR AS
FIREWORKS BEING THROWN?
>> I AM SORRY HOPE, I COULDN'T
HEAR YOU.
HEAR YOU.
HEAR YOU. YOU SAID IT WAS ONLY FIREWORKS?
>> Reporter: YEAH, THAT WAS
FIREWORKS.
FIREWORKS. WE HAVE SEEN A LOT OF FIREWORKS
AND POLICE ARE ACTUALLY TELLING
US TO MOVE TO THE SIDE.
AND MAKE SURE WE HAVE OUR I.D.S
ON US, WHICH WE DO HAVE.
THEY ARE TELLING US TO MOVE
MORE TO THE SIDE.
WE HAVE NOT SEEN ANY FIRES.
I WILL SAY WHEN THE TEARGAS WAS
DEPLOYED, THERE WERE A LOT OF
STREET SIGNS.
STREET SIGNS. GATES, BARRICADES, BEING PICKED
UP AND THROWN AT OFFICERS.
AS THEY WERE DEPLOYING THAT GAS
AND TRYING TO MOVE THE LINE
FORWARD.
FORWARD.
FORWARD. SO THERE WERE A LOT OF THINGS
THROWN AT OFFICERS.
WE HAVE NOT SEEN ANY VANDALISM
OR FIRES OUT HERE AT THIS TIME
RIGHT NOW.
RIGHT NOW. >> AND AMBER ALERT ALMOST WENT
OFF LIKE A CAUTION OR AN ALERT
ON ALL OF OUR PHONES, ALERTING
ABOUT THE CURFEW.
IF YOU ARE OUT IN THE PROTEST,
YOU PROBABLY DON'T KNOW.
LAST NIGHT WE SAID WE WISH THE
PROTESTERS COULD HEAR THE
MESSAGE FROM THE PRESS
CONFERENCE.
CONFERENCE. NOW THERE IS NO EXCUSE, BECAUSE
IT IS GOING OUT OVER OUR
DEVICES, TO GIVE YOU A HEADS
UP, THAT YOU HAVE NOW GOTTEN
THAT, IN CASE YOU DON'T HAVE
THE PHONE.
THE PHONE. SO A MESS ALERT HAS GONE OUT,
LETTING THE COMMUNITY KNOW
ABOUT THE 9:00 P.M.
CURFEW IN ATLANTA.
>> SO WE ARE INTO
