Dozens of anti-Israel protesters clashed with Chicago police officers and others burned an American flag Tuesday night outside of the Israeli consulate, not far from the Democratic National Convention.

The mob — chanting “Free, free Palestine” and waving Palestinian flags — tried to break through a line of cops in riot gear outside the building housing the consulate, located about two miles from the United Center, where the convention is being held.

Videos showed police officers shoving demonstrators and tackling some of them to the ground before taking them into custody. At least eight people were arrested.

Some protesters burned the Stars and Stripes in the middle of the street.
