It began at the intersection of NW 23rd and Classen, where protestors blocked traffic.

“For years nothing has been done about it… so this should be the one. It’s all across the nation, it’s nationwide, and I feel like that should make a difference,” Syn D’Vaughn, an attendee, said.

“They just gotta picture if it was they brother or they son or somebody they love,” an attendee named Chris said.

Police say 13 people were arrested from the protest. Three officers sustained minor injuries.
