Eight people were arrested on Saturday when a small group of protesters calling themselves White Lives Matter were confronted by counter-demonstrators supporting Black Lives Matter at the Texas State Capitol near where Governor Greg Abbott had earlier dedicated a monument recognizing the contribution of African-Americans to the state.
Texas Department of Public Safety spokesman Sgt. Victor Taylor said four of the arrests were for assault, two for evading arrest, one for disorderly conduct and one for ‘interference with public duty.’
Two of those arrested were on Capitol grounds and the others on adjacent streets.
‘Some protesters assaulted other protesters,’ Taylor said. ‘We don’t know for sure which side they were on. A lot of them were co-mingled.’
