Protest In Manhattan Underway Following Weekend Police Shooting Of Jacob Blake In Wisconsin
In Manhattan on Monday night, a protest was held in response to the shooting. Demonstrators gathered in Times Square and several hundred started marching east on 34th Street toward Sixth Avenue, CBS2’s Ali Bauman reported.
Protesters told Bauman they want the officers involved in the shooting of Blake to be fired and arrested. They said they are tired of having to protest, having done so for a month earlier this year following the police shooting death of George Floyd in Minneapolis, but they feel it is their duty because lives are on the line.
