Dozens of protesters arrested in US

US riot officers arrested dozens of people in Louisiana’s capital Baton Rouge during protests over the killings of black people by police. 

Demonstrations around the US also saw activists attempt to block some key road routes.

Police in riot gear prevented a group of protesters in Baton Rouge from entering a major artery, Interstate 110, thwarting a tactic which social justice activists have increasingly attempted in some major cities in protest over the deaths.
