The town of Rockford, Illinois has been the site of weeks of protests, riots and arrests, and Friday and Saturday were no exception. Seventeen people have been arrested since yesterday and the police have declared the protests a a riot.

A “Back the Blue” rally was held on Saturday morning and it was crashed by Black Lives Matter/ANTIFA, with sadly predictable results.

At one point, protesters attempted to overwhelm the police. That didn’t turn out so good for them. “Several people were detained as a result of the ensuing melee as the two groups met on the grounds of the Winnebago County Justice Center,” is how WTVO put it.
