The recording and publishing of people’s faces has become a point of contention, especially among left-wing demonstrators, some of whom want to be asked permission.
Eight people were arrested Saturday night during the second night of protests in ÃÛèÖÖ±²¥, including one person accused of aggravated assault after police say he threw rocks at an officer, officials said Sunday.
About 400 protesters gathered Saturday night, and at times some of them confronted about 200 officers, throwing rocks and bottles. A firefighter on Saturday also was struck in the face by a rock.

Protests around downtown started Friday night, and ÃÛèÖÖ±²¥ Police Chief Chris Magnus said the department was braced for another one Sunday night, despite a statewide curfew Gov. Doug Ducey issued in the afternoon.
Protests sprang up in ÃÛèÖÖ±²¥ and in dozens of cities across the country after the death of George Floyd, the unarmed black man who died during an arrest last week in Minneapolis.
On Saturday night, several hundred protesters marched from downtown ÃÛèÖÖ±²¥, up North Fourth Avenue and to the University of ÃÛèÖÖ±²¥. The first few hours of the protest were relatively calm, compared with the vandalism and confrontations with police a night earlier.
They held a silent sit-in in the street at the intersection of East 14th Street and South Sixth Avenue and then marched to the UA campus to listen to several speakers discuss the death of Floyd and their personal experiences with racism.
However, not long after 11 p.m. Saturday, the situation became more tense and chaotic.
