Protesters in Rochester, New York, busted down a barricade outside the city’s police department on Monday evening while demonstrating in reaction to an incident from last week involving the Rochester Police Department and a nine-year-old girl that ended with the girl being pepper sprayed.

Chanting “Black Lives Matter,” protesters are seen taking apart fencing outside the police department. Demonstrators are also heard chanting, “no justice, no peace.” Nearing the end of the video clip, some protesters are shaking the fence surrounding the station and again chanting, “Black Lives Matter.”
