The streets of Cleveland turned ugly on Sunday following the first national Black Lives Matter conference, where activists convened to discuss the use of deadly force between police and African Americans. ;
;
Witnesses told local ABC affiliate ;Newsnet5 ;that a 14-year-old who was thought to have been intoxicated was slammed to the ground after transit police confronted him about an open container by a bus stop. ;
;
The crowd of conference attendees began to protest his arrest by locking arms when a police officer allegedly pepper-sprayed them. ;
The teenager was seen being taken into an ambulance for treatment and later released to his mother, Newsnet5 reports. ;
The conference, whose full title is ;the National Convening of the Movement for Black Lives, ;began Friday at Cleveland State University. ;Thousands of activists from across the nation gathered for panels and workshops ;with the goal of holding officials accountable ;for police brutality ;following the deaths of Sandra Bland, Mike Brown, Tamir Rice and Eric Garner. ;
The Cleveland Police Department and the Greater Cleveland Regional Transit Authority could not immediately be reached for comment. ;
