Colombia protesters, police trade tear gas and rocks in anti-government demonstration

Tensions rose on the streets of Colombia Friday, as protesters and police traded tear gas and rocks during an anti-government demonstration.

Protesters attacked an armored police vehicle using a water cannon near the demonstration and officers fired tear gas to disperse the angry crowd.

Amid singing and music during demonstrations in the capital city of Bogota, protesters vowed to keep marching for change in their country.

The demonstrations were part of a nationwide protest launched by unions four weeks ago in Colombia's main cities to demand a basic income, an end to police violence, and opportunities for young people.
