St. Joseph Floyd Protest (5-31-20)

(sot, protesting here) protesters coming together to make their voices heard yet again today, good sunday evening and thanks for joining us tonight , i'm ron johnson.

After day of protesting to drivers on the belt highway, now local protesters are taking their message to those who protect and serve in our community.

We were downtown today as protesters met with police.

Sunday, protesters hit the streets in st.

Joseph for the third day in a row, after days of protesting to passers by this protest came to local law enforcement.

We're only doing this because no one is hearing us.

We got to make some noise somehow.

The group marching from civic center park to the police stationsotin hopes of seeking answers to the unjust treatment they feel is given by some in uniform all we want is peace, all we want is peace.

Their message challenged by some who say the protests are an overreactionthey want to believe that law enforcement is against them that they're out to kill them, and they're not.when i got here they were chanting, no good cops, you can't stand there and literally say that.aside from a few tense moments, the protest was relatively peaceful and eventually the city's chief of police stopped by.

Engaging in dialogue, listening to protesters' concerns and trying to start the conversation on how to move forward.

Demonstrators saying calling the moment a step in the right direction to true equality for all.

That's what we have to do continuously till it gets to that point.

I think they've taking the message from the past two days from us protesting.

At the same time, they say they're not done spreading their message of tolerance until they feel that every person in this country doesn't have to live in fear.

I want the cops to actually be able to help, not worry about if they're here to arrest me.
