Democratic Governor Jon Bel Edwards has been praised by black leaders for the civil rights investigation he helped to get underway. And last night, demonstrators were peacefully assembled on a private homeowner’s lawn when police in riot gear pushed them into the street and then arrested them. Reporter Bryn Stole was there for The Advocate.
