Two people were arrested during a protest of President-elect Donald Trump Wednesday in Downtown Omaha. The organized demonstration lasted several hours. Some of the crowd dispersed after police officers asked them to leave. Other demonstrators told WOWT 6 News when they didn't leave, police sprayed them with pepper balls.

As day turned to dark hundreds gathered in downtown Omaha. Police said the two protesters were arrested after lying in the street. Minority groups who felt detached from policies that the president elect ran on during his campaign wanted to show they're not supporting Donald Trump.

"I'm married to an immigrant I'm part of the LGBTQ community,” said protester Dannielle Swope.

"The way he created his arguments for the black community was very…coming from his place of ignorance and I think anyone from the black community saw right through that,” said protester Catie Zaleski.

The political divide is clear in the metro and across the country. Protests in other cities have become dangerous. Some are just holding on to hope that Americans can come together.

"I sure hope we can figure out some sort of resolution that'll make people a little bit less uneasy at least,” Swope said.

Some of the protesters told WOWT 6 News they already have similar plans laid out for this weekend. Some events planned for next week are also peaceful ones aimed at bringing people together.
