Police tried to take Smith into custody, but two sheriff\u2019s deputies shot and killed him on June 3.<\/p>\n<p>After the police refused to release video footage of Smith\u2019s death, protestors took to the streets in Uptown.<\/p>\n<p>Frey announced in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=jgGQvdOYnzU\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">conference<\/a> on Tuesday that police would begin making arrests in Uptown if ongoing protests are not peaceful. Frey said that while the city supports people protesting, the \u201cunauthorized shutdown\u201d of an intersection was unsafe and needed to stop.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe can demand accountability, we can demand transparency, without compromising the necessary facets of community service that we need on a daily basis,\u201d Frey said.<\/p>\n<p>Content created by The Daily Caller News Foundation is available without charge to any eligible news publisher that can provide a large audience.
