He said he and Beaupere would be attending a meeting Friday with members of the city\u2019s sub-Saharan community, to try to build bridges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The woman arrested Monday has filed an official complaint accusing the police of violence and racism, a charge the force has rejected, saying she had resisted arrest.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Brussels-Belgian police said Sunday they arrested around 10 people from among 200-300\u00a0looters\u00a0who clashed with police on the fringes of a Black Lives Matters protest in Liege.
