Correct answer:

They chanted and threw objects at the police outside the hall.

Further explanation:

When the Democratic National Convention met in Chicago in 1968, thousands of protesters staged demonstrations against the US involvement in the Vietnam War. Chicago's mayor, Richard Daley, sent out 12,000 local police officers against the protesters and called in thousands more state and federal officers. The protesters had not initially been violent, but as the tension between protesters and police continued, there were instances of protesters throwing objects. But the police reacted with even stronger measures, using tear gas and beating protesters with clubs.
