Claremont demonstration well-attended, peaceful

A vocal but non-violent crowd collected in front of the Claremont Police Station on Wednesday to protest the killing of George Floyd, as well as the many other African Americans who have been killed by the police in America. More than 500 people marched west from the corner of Base Line Road and Mills Avenue to Indian Hill Boulevard and then to the rally at the police station. Once at the station the protesters observed nine minutes of silence, the same amount of time that officer Derek Chauvin held his knee on Mr. Floyd’s neck. COURIER photo/Steven Felschundneff
