Protests planned for Newport Beach after tense standoff at South Coast Plaza

Four demonstrations, at least one of them billed as family friendly, are scheduled across Newport Beach on Wednesday.

In Costa Mesa, protesters chanted, “Hands up, don’t shoot!” and held signs reading, “Help I can’t Breathe” and “No one is free until all of us are free.”

The demonstration began peacefully, with many saying they hoped for a protest devoid of violence. Some aimed for solidarity with police.Social media posts show the first planned event Wednesday in Newport Beach is at noon at MacArthur Boulevard and East Coast Highway, at the northern end of Corona del Mar.Another protest is scheduled at 2 p.m. at Newport Pier. Two others are set for 5 p.m.

All of the demonstrations are being promoted as peaceful protests. The one on the Civic Center Park bridge is billed as “family friendly,” for “raising anti-racist kids.” Newport Beach police are aware of all four demonstrations and had not planned any street closures in advance Tuesday, said department spokeswoman Heather Rangel. The city also had not preemptively called for any curfews.
