Video: Looting in DeKalb after peaceful protest

A group of people attempted to loot several businesses in DeKalb on Sunday, while another group stopped them from looting Rocky's convenience store, and Pastor Joe Mitchell of New Hope Missionary Baptist Church asked the looters to disperse.

This story will be updated. The beginning of this video contains strong language and may not be suitable for younger viewers.

The looting came after what had been a peaceful protest on Sunday as a second straight day of protests in response to the killing of George Floyd while in the custody of a Minneapolis police officer earlier this week.

There is no reported connection between the looting and the peaceful protest.
