Several officers have received minor injuries due to individuals throwing bricks/rocks at the officers. Officers are being check by paramedics. This is still an active scene. MPD officers are securing the area so that TBI can make the scene."At least 24 officers and deputies were injured -- six were taken to the hospital," Strickland said in a Facebook post early Thursday morning."Multiple police cars were vandalized.
