Some of the protesters yelled at police in an effort to taunt them, but there were no arrests.

Earlier, a demonstration by the Philly Coalition for Real Justice, made its voice heard in North Philadelphia.

They chanted 'no justice, no peace.' Words they say come from a "place of hurt, anger and frustration."



Their feelings are related to the tension with police, and the scourge of gun violence.
