The folks over at Baton Rouge Crime have compiled some stats from this weekend’s arrests. Here’s what they’ve come up with.
First up, which agencies are making the arrests. There are three main agencies working the protests: Baton Rouge Police Department, East Baton Rouge Sheriff’s Office, and the Louisiana State Police.

Next up, what are they being charged with? It appears most of the charges stem from trying to occupy the Interstates.

One theme has been noticeable in this whole thing. The protests that are led by the local leaders are peaceful and generally pass without incident. The nighttime and evening demonstrations led by the out of town bunch generally are more confrontational and aggressive.
