Police say there were no physical altercations or arrests.
Black Lives Matter protesters in an Indiana town were greeted with a line of white men and women carrying guns.
The town of Crown Point, Indiana, held a small march and rally on Saturday afternoon in protest of the death of George Floyd, who was killed in police custody, and anti-black racism in the US. Amaya Butler, 19, was one of the speakers at the rally. She told BuzzFeed News that the march of about 50 people went down the town's Main Street, which is where the armed counterprotesters were.
"It was actually a pretty shocking sight to see because I’ve been in Crown Point almost my whole life, and I’ve never seen anything like this in the city that I reside in," she said."It was just disheartening to see how much racism and hate was just lingering and hiding in the city." A video circulating on Twitter shows the line of men and women, including at least eight men holding guns.a video from when we took the BIKE TRAIL back to our cars after police advised us to because of the amount of people standing by the street with their bats and guns.. these men followed us- if the cops weren’t there i genuinely don’t know what would have happened.
