One of many similar demonstrations taking place across the country escalated when demonstrators began burning American flags outside the Arlington Police Department Main Station.
The announcement comes a day after Abbott activated the Texas National Guard to assist law enforcement and deployed state resources to the cities of Dallas, Houston, San Antonio and Austin.
Protesters took the streets of downtown Dallas in a justice caravan for Floyd and Atatiana Jefferson, who was shot and killed in her home on Oct. 12, 2019, by a former Fort Worth police officer.
