Rochester, N.Y. (WHAM) - After nearly four hours of peaceful protest, demonstrators and law enforcement clashed for the third night in a row.

Thousands flooded downtown Rochester streets Saturday night to rally against racism and injustice and demand accountability in the death of Daniel Prude. They have grown in size each night.

Saturday's event, hosted by Free The People Roc, started on Jefferson Avenue at approximately 6:30 p.m. Marchers then made their way downtown

Rochester Police said in a tweet that officers were blocking roads to clear a path for the protesters.

This follows a night of protests that led to 11 people being arrested and three law enforcement officers injured in what police called a riot.

Edit to add: the above tweet quote is misleading, this from Twitter news is better

"A medical examiner concluded that Prude’s death was a homicide caused by “complications of asphyxia in the setting of physical restraint.” The report lists excited delirium and acute intoxication by phencyclidine, or PCP, as contributing factors." — HuffPost
