on June 2, 2020 at 9:45 pm
GREENWOOD, SC (FOX Carolina) Another round of events calling for justice in response to the in-custody death of George Floyd are planned to take place Tuesday around the Upstate. At 4 p.m., Black Lives Matter in Greenwood is planning to hold a protest at the Greenwood Fountain. They'll be showing support for the life, liberty and equality of black people in their community and throughout the nation. The Greenwood Police Department says they're aware of the rallies planned for Tuesday evening. "We will be monitoring them closely, but we are sworn to protect everyone’s right to free speech as long as it’s done peacefully without threatening property or lives," the department wrote in a Facebook post. Greenwood County Sheriff Kelly has been meeting with various community leaders, law enforcement officials and public safety entities to prepare for all possibilities. “We support the right to protest, but let’s work together to keep it peaceful," Sheriff Kelly said. During one of the many meetings, Pastor Carlton Klugh of Greenwood spoke of the importance of peaceful protests, saying Greenwood is no place for violence. His full statement is below: In wake of everything that has happened in the last eight days concerning the death of George Floyd we definitely see that the voice of all races Black, White, Hispanic and Native American have joined together in their amendment rights of protest across our country. I stand with the challenge to change our culture towards unarmed black and brown citizens however Greenwood has no place for riots and violent behavior stealing the stage of a powerful change that is coming and we as clergyman and leaders need to lead our communities to peace and harmony and not drive them down a road of evil. We must remain steadfast, peaceful and support our change and not pour gas on a fire we didn't start!!!! Greenwood belongs to us and our children and sparking violence that will harm more innocent people and children is not the way!!! I LOVE GREENWOOD AND PLEDGE TO DO MY PART IN WORKING WITH AND NOT AGAINST!!! LET’S STAND FOR AND IN PEACE!!! Business owners have been expressing their concern over the possibility for violence.

Police say that after hours of peaceful protests, several rounds of fireworks were shot at police officers who were standing in front of the municipal building. "It was so fast," said Matt Henson, who was at the protest. "It was six hours of peaceful protesting. There were minor incidents, but nothing major, nothing aggressive really. And then it was just a slow escalation over the course of like maybe 30 minutes with water bottles and then all the sudden a firework came in, and it just kind of… it went from being peaceful to probably close to 5,000 people sprinting in every direction." Following the fireworks, police deployed tear gas and pepper balls to disperse the crowds. Henson was in the area where the tear gas was fired. "It definitely hurts," he said. "Your nose, immediately all your sinuses are all clogged up. And if you breathe it in too fast and too much, it definitely made breathing difficult. I did not enjoy that. It was not pleasant. It was not OK." The crowd then moved downtown, and some members of the crowd began to vandalize city property. Witnesses also reported groups were burning an American flag and breaking into businesses in downtown Asheville. A confederate statue of Zebulon Vance was also spray painted with graffiti. Some protesters were seen downtown helping to clean up the vandalized stores. Carolyn M. who has been helping us in our coverage of the situation in Asheville, North Carolina posted this picture with the caption: "It’s really important to note that protesters are now cleaning up the shattered glass from the Hazel Twenty boutique in downtown Asheville. Whoever broke it did not represent the vast majority of people here who seem to be against property damage." Henson said the people throwing fireworks and damaging property represented a very small percentage of the movement. "I think the overall group did not want violence," he said. "There were multiple times where the megaphone was used to announce that it was a peaceful protest, to encourage people to remain peaceful, to let everybody know they didn’t want any reason to a riot... The group that interfered with that was very, very small." Christina Hallingse with Asheville Police says they are further investigating after shell casings were located downtown, after multiple weapons were discharged into the air. SWAT and APD cleared the crowded streets of downtown by 2:30 a.m. RELATED: <a href="https://www.foxcarolina.com/news/police-chief-4-arrested-after-protest-involving-throwing-of-rocks-fireworks-and-damage-to-property/article_90fc2482-a3c8-11ea-a079-3fceaa9f71b7.html" target="_blank">Police Chief: 4 arrested after protest involving throwing of rocks, fireworks and damage to property in Asheville</a>
