Update on Demonstrations Wednesday Evening

Update on Demonstrations Wednesday Evening

We want to thank those who have sent us pictures and a video of individuals that were demonstrating on our square Wednesday evening, displaying messages of hate and division. We had actually already been working on investigating this incident. We have video surveillance equipment on the square to protect our peaceful demonstrators, and after reviewing the footage and interviewing witnesses, we have concluded that these individuals were the same ones identified in a similar incident in Cookeville. The individuals left the area in a vehicle with California tags. Our investigation is continuing.

Chief Mike Justice, "We want to make it very clear that we are thankful for our peaceful demonstrations that have taken place over the last several days, and we will continue to provide a safe and secure area for those demonstrations. Furthermore, we want those who are spreading messages of hate, and instigating violence , to know that it will not be tolerated."
