The Los Angeles Police Department declared a tactical alert in response to a march organized by opponents of Proposition 8, who marched from West Hollywood to Hollywood.
About 500 protesters gathered in the 6400 block of Sunset Boulevard, near the Los Angeles Bureau of CNN, prompting the LAPD to declare a tactical alert.
A few people were detained, but the overall indication is that the demonstrators and marchers are peaceful. Those detained were most likely charged with misdemeanors, if they were charged at all. Initially, a crowd gathered at Santa Monica and San Vicente boulevards to protest the passage of Proposition 8 in Tuesday's election.
Proposition 8 was an amendment to the California Constitution that eliminated the newly-declared right of same-sex couples to marry.
