The Prince William Board of County Supervisors on Sunday held an emergency meeting where it asked its police department to discuss the tactics used during a massive protest outside Manassas.
More than 250 people gathered at 5 p.m. Saturday, May 30 for a peaceful protest at the corner of Sudley Road and Sudley Manor Drive, about five miles from Manassas. They were protesting the death of Minneapolis resident George Floyd, 46, who died during an arrest attempt by a police officer who is now charged in his death.
Just after 8 o'clock, the rally turned unruly with protestors throwing objects at drivers and police. A riot ensued resulting in multiple police agencies descending onto the county, with officers donning helmets and shields, leading five arrests -- including the arrest of a driver charged with DUI and other offenses for driving through a police perimeter, nearly striking officers posted at the location, police said.
