RICHMOND, USA.- Protesters chanted outside the gate and drew a giant sunflower using biodegradable paint on the pavement. Police began making arrests when the demonstrators, many of them carrying sunflowers, walked onto company property and refused to leave. Eventually, 210 people were arrested, nearly all of them on suspicion of trespassing, police said. They were cited and released. Capt. Gagan described the demonstration as peaceful and "very organized." One protester was booked on suspicion of assault after he allegedly punched another protester. "I was very grateful about how many people in the crowd condemned his behavior," Gagan said.
