Las Vegas Boulevard close to Clark Avenue emptied about quarter-hour after police issued the order Wednesday night time.
ACLU of Nevada Government Director Athar Haseebullah posted to social media Wednesday night time saying:
“We have legal observers on the ground who have just advised officers using pepperballs on protestors. Dispersal order from LVMPD, not audible to all, declared unlawful assembly without clarity on what unlawful activity existed during peaceful protest with large crowd size.”
This can be a growing story, test again for updates.
