Two protests in Anaheim Saturday followed a training conducted by members of Occupy Orange County that was intended to help keep demonstrations peaceful in the wake of a series of protests of police shootings.
Members of the Occupy movement met Saturday morning at Stoddard Park in Anaheim to provide training on non-violent demonstration tactics and press relations, said George Olivio, an organizer with Occupy Orange County.
"We don’t want to see anymore of the violence," Olivio said. "We’re making an emergency outreach, trying to do as much training as possible … to keep demonstrations peaceful."
The meeting was followed by two demonstrations on Saturday afternoon -- one outside Disneyland and one near the site of a police shooting that left an unarmed man dead a week ago Saturday.
At the Disneyland event, a group of demonstrators held anti-police signs while tourists streamed by. A row of officers mounted on horseback watched from nearby.
