Protesters Detained Near BRPD HQ Early Wednesday

(WBRZ News 2) At least three protesters were detained early Wednesday morning after an attempt to close Airline Highway near Baton Rouge Police Headquarters.

A witness told News 2's Brett Buffington that one person poured beer on a responding officer, escalating the situation.

The group was protesting the reported decision by the Department of Justice to not file federal civil rights charges against the officers involved in the Alton Sterling shooting last year.
