Police arrested 24 people Tuesday night in Anaheim during a protest of more than 600 people over the recent police shooting of an apparently unarmed man, according to Reuters.
Six storefronts were damaged during the second major clash between protestors and police since an officer killed a suspected gang member Saturday morning.
Damage was done to several businesses, including a Starbucks, which had its windows shattered by thrown patio chairs.
One person was injured during the demonstration.
Five people have died in Anaheim this year during shootings involved with police.
On Monday, Anaheim mayor Tom Tait ordered a state and federal review of the shooting of the suspected gang member, Manuel Diaz.

In honor of Caesar Chavez, I do not condone violent protests. However, if the actions of the Anaheim Police Department result in protests from the people in their jurisdiction, the Police Department has a problem which must be resolved.
