Pro-Palestinian protests during the final hours of the Democratic National Convention (DNC) began much like they had earlier this week — largely peaceful with a family-friendly atmosphere.

The crowd of thousands slowly snaked through residential areas surrounding the United Centre on Thursday. Pausing at the edge of a park to turn towards the convention centre, they chanted: “DNC, you will see. Palestine will be free.”
