The Vehicle City has been dealing with unrest tied to its proposed city budget. Last week, a scuffle broke out between around 20 law enforcement officers and dozens of protesters, angry about the budget and city police shutting down a street protest the day before.

The allegations are related to the Flint Police Department’s response to a protest march on Sunday and a melee during Monday’s city council meeting.

Protesters and Flint police scuffled at the end of the council meeting, amid growing anger among activists over the department's shutting down a protest the day before.
