The Dallas police chief has plans to meet with protest leaders after discovering that police used pepper-spray projectiles at a demonstration over the death of Botham Jean.

The chief said that the projectiles should only be used when there is an immediate threat to the public. The projectiles contain the chemical in pepper spray, and severely irritate the nose and eyes.

The demonstration on Monday came after Officer Amber Guyger was arrested for manslaughter after she shot her neighbor in his own apartment, 26-year-old Botham Jean. Demonstrators gathered outside the police headquarters, and some blocked traffic as they marched.
