The Blue Lives Matter movement emerged in support of the American police after Black Lives Matter protesters and affiliated movements called for defunding the police force in the wake of George Floyd’s death in Minneapolis.
Anti-racism protesters crashed a Back the Blue rally outside the Fort Collins Police Department Saturday afternoon.
The confrontation resulted in three arrested, both from counterprotesters and the Blue Rally participants, according to local media.
A series of videos posted on Instagram captures the moments of the fight, with people screaming and punching each other in the face. One of the clips shows protesters piling up on one another.
One of the attendees can be heard saying, “Keep punching each other in the face but don’t shoot anybody”.
According to witnesses at the scene, it seemed to start as a peaceful conversation between both sides, but turned violent when another group of counter-protesters showed up, allegedly taunting the pro-police group.
Witnesses also said that there was no police presence at the moment of the fight.
