St. Louis attorneys draw down on protestors passing by.

Every single news report is saying the protestors were using a private street and may have broken a gate to access it.  They were bypassing blockades that were set up on public streets to block access to the mayor’s house, which was where they wanted to protest.

The lawyers are claiming the streets were "private", meaning they were in an enclave. Status of such is dubious.

Some web searching tells me that people who live on that street have been granted ‘the right of exclusion’ by the city, which means they don’t have to allow anyone to use the street if they don’t want them to.
