HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE HERE.
THEY JUST ALL DECIDED TO TAKE
A KNEE FOR A MOMENT OF SILENCE.
EARLIER WHEN THE VIGIL BEGAN,
ONE OF THE MAIN ORGANIZER, A
BLACK PASTOR FROM DALLAS AND HE
ASKED OTHERS TO JOIN HIM.
MANY WALKED FROM THE CROWD TO
STAND DEHIND HIM, SO MANY
DIFFERENT COLORS AND RELIGIONS.
MARK CUBAN WAS HERE STANDING
NEXT TO POLICE CHIEF RENEE
HALL.
HALL.
HALL. THIS IS ALL IN DEEP CONTRAST TO
THE THINGS WE'VE SEEN ACROSS
DALLAS FOR THE LAST TWO NIGHTS.
HERE IS ANOTHER EVENT THAT TOOK
PLACE APRAYER VIGIL THAT WAS AN
AFRICAN RITUAL.
AFRICAN RITUAL. THEY BURNED SALINA, WAVEED THE
BOWL AROUND EVERYONE THAT CAME
THROUGH THE GATES S+@AYING IT W
AN ACT OF CLEANSING.
IT IS A SIT+@E WHERE SOME OF
DALLAS' BLACKS +@WERE BURIED.
THEY ASKED PEOPLE TO WRITE
NEGATIVE THINGS ON PIECES OF
PAPER THEY WANTED TO GET RID OF
AND THEY BURNED THEM.
THIS IS A PEACEFUL EVENT, BUT
THE ORGANIZERS SAY THEY'RE IN
SUPPORT OF THE PEOPLE WHO ARE
RIOTING ON THE STREETS ALL OVER
THE COUNTRY AND HERE'S WHY.
>> WE HAVE NOTHING BUT SUPPORT
FOR THAT.
FOR THAT.
FOR THAT. THEY'RE EXPRESSING A GENUINE
EMOTION.
EMOTION.
EMOTION. WE ARE NOT DOING THAT HERE
BECAUSE THIS IS A PLACE FOR
HEALING, BUT THAT'S NOT TO SAY
YOU WON'T SEE SOME OF THESE
SAME PEOPLE DOING THAT LATER OR
SOME OF THESE PEOPLE HAVE NOT
ALREADY.
ALREADY.
ALREADY. WE'RE ANGRY, WE'RE MAD AND IN A
CAPITAL+@IST COUNTRY, SEEMS THE
ONLY WAY TO GET PEOPLE TO
LISTEN IS IF WE GO AFTER
CAPITOL.
CAPITOL.
CAPITOL. >> Reporter: THAT IS A BET OF A
DIFFERENT MESSAGE THAT YOU'D
HARFO THE PASTORS.
THEY WERE ADAMANT IN SAYING WE

BECAUSE THEY SAY WE BELIEVE
WHAT HAPPENED TO GEORGE FLOYD
+@
+@ IS
+@ IS WRONG, HOWEVER THEY'RE
CHOOSING TO BE HERE, ATTACK A

OF NIGHTS.

HOW THE DALLAS POLICE ARE GOIN+
TO PATROL AND ENFORCE THE RULE
OF LAW TONIGHT?
>> Reporter: WELL, YOU KNOW,

>> Reporter: WELL, YOU KNOW, IT'S HARD TO SAY UNTIL WE KNOW
EXACTLY WHAT DEVELOPS.
I CAN TELL YOU POLICE CHIEF
RENEE HALL DO+@ES NOT MINCE WOR
NOR HAS THE DALLAS MAYOR IN
SAYING WE BELIEVE +@IN PEACEFUL
PROTEST.
PROTEST.
PROTEST. PEACEFUL IS THE WORD THEY'VE
SAID OVER AND OVER AGAIN.
THEY BELIEVE IT CROSSES THE
LINE WHEN VANDALISM BEGINS,
WHEN VIOLENCE BEGINS, SO WE
KNOW THEY'LL PROBABLY BE
SPURRED TO TAKE ACTION SHOULD
PEOPLE BEGIN TO THROW BRICKS AT
POLICE CARS OR THROW BRICKS
INSIDE OF BUILDINGS OR BEGIN
+@ KICKING OR BURNING THINGS.
WE KNOW THEY'LL TAKE ACTION.
SO FAR THE TYPE OF ACTI+@ON WE'
SEEN, IT STARTED MAYBE WITH THE
PELLET GUNS.
PELLET GUNS. THEY'VE TAKEN TO USING TEAR GAS
AND HAVE BEGUN ARRESTING
PEOPLE.
PEOPLE.

I DO WANT TO POINT OUT THAT
WE'VE SEEN, I WITNESSED IT ON
FRIDAY NIGHT PARTICULA+@RLY,
DALLAS+@ POLIC+@E EXERCISING
RESTRAINT.
RESTRAINT. THERE WERE PROTESTERS YELLING
AT THEM, USING THE PROFANE
LANGUAGE IN THEIR FACES.
THEY DID +@NOT TAKE ACTION
AGAINST THOSE PROTESTERS.
THEY ONLY BEGAN TO TAKE THE
ACTION AGAINST THE PROTESTERS
WHEN THE VANDALISM AND VIOLENCE
