CLEVELAND, Ohio — "I have a video of someone standing on top of the vehicle crashing and demolishing it,” said Natasha Watts. 

Natasha Watts is a bail bondsman in Downtown Cleveland. She watched her car being destroyed live on Facebook. 

“Think about what you are doing. You have not just affected a community, but you infected the longevity of people’s businesses—people that have just started their business come to work and they're demolished. That’s a hurtful hurtful feeling and I’m praying for every family and every business owner that is suffering with broken glass, fires. I’m praying for y’all,” she said.  
  
Businesses all over Downtown Cleveland had their windows smashed after peaceful protests in honor of George Floyd turned violent. Heinen’s Grocery Store windows were broken into and just next door, Geiger’s clothing store was completely looted.  
  
"It’s very sad. I had no idea that this would be the outcome of some of those peaceful protests. We followed it on the news media, Twitter, social media last evening. Obviously, we weren't allowed to come in until this morning because of the curfew overnight” said Chas Geiger, Heinen's Grocery Store owner. 
  
One person living along East 4th Street says he heard the protests getting violent and decided to record some of it from his apartment.   
 
“if you were down here, I would definitely say it would be scary. It was very loud, like lots of screaming, but t was definitely some destruction for sure,” he said.  
  
Students from Wade Park school say when they saw the destruction on TV, they decided to get together to help clean up Downtown Cleveland.  
  
“Our student ambassadors got together last night, started texting in their chat just ways that they could assist with the cleanup and kids are here this morning helping out businesses get cleaned up after the aftermath of yesterday’s protest,” said Dr. Buddy Lee, principal Wadel Park school.
