Text and photo with caption from article: Text: A handful of students were arrested on Front Street after police said the protest became disruptive and dangerous. However, a video from the protest shows the peaceful walk, escalated to violence once police intervened, civil rights leaders and parents said Saturday at a morning press conference. "Parents and community members are outraged by reports that officers used physical force against minors and escalated what began as a student demonstration into arrests and criminal charges," read a statement ahead of the press conference. "It is especially disturbing that the police chief was directly involved in the physical confrontation with a student." The parents of two kids and another speaker said the students who were arrested Friday remain in police custody and were held overnight. By late Saturday morning, calls to the Bucks County Youth Center, where the teens are being held, were being disconnected when parents and others called, according to Upper Bucks United, a civil rights group.
