CHICAGO (WLS) -- Two protestors were arrested in downtown Chicago Wednesday night during a demonstration organized by "Black Lives Matter" to show their anger for the deaths of Michael Brown and Eric Garner.

A number of people also protested the Senate torture report released on Tuesday.

Another protest was held outside President Obama's Chicago home following a brief march through the Kenwood neighborhood. Demonstrators are calling on the president to do more to address what they call the war on black and brown people.
