The LPS closed and re-opened multiple roads throughout the demonstration in an effort to keep traffic flowing and keep emergency lanes and access to hospitals clear.
Parts of Commissioners Road and Baseline Road were closed for nearly two hours during the afternoon.
As the convoy approached downtown, it was reported that a group of anti-protestors blocked the vehicles by crowding onto the street for a short period of time.
