Pro-Palestinian protesters march near United Center as DNC begins – Video shows Police trying to clear park outside United Center and knock down old woman

Protesters marched near the United Center Monday afternoon, drawing attention to the pro-Palestinian cause as the Democratic National Convention begins in Chicago.
A crowd of close to 3,000 people from more than 270 different organizations came together to form the coalition to protest.
The protesters' City Hall-approved route began in Union Park. It headed south on Ashland Avenue, west on Washington Boulevard, north on Hermitage Avenue, and west on Maypole Avenue to Park 578. Then, it went to Damen Avenue, north to Lake Street, and east back to Union Park.
Some protesters breached a security fence into the DNC's security perimeter on Monday afternoon. It initially appeared the first breach had been secured, but another fence was taken down soon afterward. At least four people were arrested, but no protesters got beyond the outer perimeter of the secure zone.
An hours-long standoff between police and a small number of agitators who had pitched tents temporarily ended Monday evening.
