A Minnesota police officer was cleare.
Last year, Philando Castile's death sent shock waves across the country and the internet when the aftermath of his shooting was live-streamed on Facebook by his girlfriend, Diamond Reynolds, while her 4-year-old daughter sat in the back seat of the auto.
The incident, one of several deaths of black men and boys shot by United States police, sparked outrage and protests in St Paul.
One of the organizers, Samantha Pree-Stinson, a candidate for City Council, tells the Minneapolis Star-Tribune (http://strib.mn/2sCbJuv ) that the group wouldn't be marching onto a freeway after its gathering Saturday night at Loring Park. Eighteen people were arrested in that protest. On Friday, Yanez was acquitted of second degree manslaughter charges.

You need a combination of home-grown talent and free agent signings to build a powerhouse team, and the Warriors have done it all. James teamed up with All Stars Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh on the Miami Heat to win his first championship in 2012.
An estimated 1,500 people marched through the city, then poured onto interstate highway I-94, shutting it down.
The event's page states, "Yesterday's disturbing verdict finding Yanez not guilty of killing Philando Castile demonstrated once again that "business-as-usual" is in full effect in Minnesota". Officers say that four of the protestors didn't comply and they were arrested.
Yanez testified that Castile, a school cafeteria worker, was reaching for his gun despite his commands not to pull it out.
When some marchers ignored repeated police orders to disperse, state and local officers arrested 18 of them shortly after midnight, a state police spokesman said.
