I was leaving work, Medical City Lewisville, at 1900 and there were still people walking along Main St. on the east side of 35E near the hospital. There wasn't anyone brought to the ER for treatment as a result of anything during the protest that I was aware of.
No injuries that I was aware of. After the tear gas was used, the videos show that crowd falling back. I read the list of arrests and it looks like they may have been stragglers after the main part of the crowd dispersed.

Based on Pucker's post, I'd say the Lewisville numbers were higher.

Re: Grapevine Protest Today...

I'm glad the protest Grapevine protest went OK. The one in Lewisville on Tuesday did not. While there was no damage that I know about, there was tear gas and a number of arrests. There had been an earlier video before the protest in the same area that showed cars with broken window glass but there was no way to confirm that those were done as part of the protest.

Part of my concern is just how to "be prepared" for a protest that gets out of control. We are probably fortunate that coming down our one way street would look like a bad idea to protestors. But, that said, it is easy enough to block emergency vehicles from entering because of that situation.

How many protestors were there?
