St. Louis police chant 'Whose streets? Our streets!' after arresting 80

ST. LOUIS — More than 100 protesters peacefully marched arm-in-arm to City Hall on Monday, hours after a third night of violence resulted in 80 more arrests following the acquittal of a white police officer in the fatal shooting of a black motorist.
The protesters marched through the streets for about an hour before clearing the area. Police escorted the group while stopping and rerouting traffic.
"This morning, officers monitored a peaceful protest as they marched through Downtown #STL.," city police tweeted. "No arrests or incidents."
