Greensboro police described the following version of events, according to a press release:
As officers monitored a group of 130 protestors on Elm Street, a small portion of that crowd moved away, proceeding east on Lewis Street.
Several in the smaller group then assaulted a plain-clothes officer as he tried to photograph them, police said.
Uniformed officers then responded to that area.
