Chief Biehl: We had peaceful protestors who wanted to get their message across, but we had some people who wanted to participate in civil disorder and dangerous situations.

There are ways to have your voices heard and do it while abiding by the law.
People using the #JusticeForGeorgeFloyd protests in #Dayton as an excuse to act a fool. What does this display have to do w/ justice? https://t.co/7Hk2mlCaqJ

Alright I’m writing this post because there’s some misconceptions about the #Dayton protests. I was there from about 3pm until about 8:30. I saw no instances where protestors were violent with police. However the police were repeatedly violent with no provocation.

the first police brutality story i heard of. 2011, in Dayton Ohio the police threw Kyle English off of a bridge & said it was suicide. pic.twitter.com/Zl20KjjiaB

#Dayton folks please comment ⬇️ where donations can go to support the protests, bail bond funds, etc. A few friends and I have been researching but haven’t been able to find anything local @ywcadayton @udhumanrights @DowntownDayton #daytonprotests #blacklivesmatter #daytonohio

I am going to use this crappy medium to try and tell the story of the #dayton #protests this afternoon. Things started off near the federal courthouse, with a decent crowd (300 perhaps?) chanting and waiving signs. The police were present, but restrained, and watching... pic.twitter.com/W4cEBXOwzD
