As many expressed confusion and frustration about why Phoenix police used smoke canisters, pepper spray and flash bangs on largely peaceful crowds after President Donald Trump's rally, Phoenix Police Chief Jeri Williams stood by her officers but said the agency would investigate their actions.
Supporters and protesters taunted each other but largely refrained from violence from early Tuesday morning until after Trump's speech ended, thanks in part to a heavy police presence.
Attendees initially filed out of the Phoenix Convention Center peacefully, but the night took a sudden turn about 8:45 p.m. when police say a few people began throwing rocks and bottles at police and dispersing gas on Monroe Street near the Herberger Theater Center, a block from the convention center.Hey...that Pretty much answers and investigation question.
