LOS ANGELES (CBSLA) — A large group of approximately 300 demonstrators gathered in downtown Los Angeles Wednesday afternoon near the Hall of Justice.

The group was protesting the shooting of Jacob Blake by police on Sunday and the shooting deaths of protesters Tuesday night — both in Kenosha, Wisconsin — as well as the shooting death of Anthony McClain by Pasadena police on Aug. 15.
Wednesday marked the third night of local protests in response to the events in Kenosha.
On Monday, protesters faced off with officers in riot gear outside of the Los Angeles Police Department headquarters. Video from the scene showed some protesters throwing bottles and officers deploying tear gas. At least three officers were injured, police said, though there were no arrests.
On Tuesday, a small group of demonstrators gathered on the north side of First Street, across from the LAPD headquarters, around 10 p.m. and marched toward the Twin Towers Correctional Facility, near Bauchet and Vignes streets. L.A. sheriff’s deputies watched the scene, but did not engage with the protestors.
