In videos posted to social media, a group was setting a fire outside Durham police headquarters while others cheered. Other images appeared to show windows to businesses broken and scooters and garbage receptacles placed in the middle of a street, WNCN-TV reported. The group of demonstrators gathered outside the Durham County Detention Facility marched through the downtown area, according to local reports. Some demonstrators in Durham said they were there because of Jaida Peterson, a Black transgender woman who was murdered this week. In addition, the Durham County Sheriff’s Office reported Friday that a man collapsed and died while being booked into the county jail Thursday night.
