Police came out in riot gear to disperse protesters demonstrating against the Kelly Thomas verdict, who came out Saturday to block traffic in Fullerton.

The second major protest of the week in Fullerton (following Monday night’s protest) found demonstrators gathering in front of the Fullerton Police Department headquarters and blocking traffic at the intersection of Commonwealth Ave. and Highland Ave., according to Voice of OC and Twitter users.
