Hello, my name’s Julian Reynoso, Web Editor for the el Don.
A released video of George Floyd being detained under the knee of Minneapolis police officer early this week created an outburst of demonstrations throughout the country. L.A. declared an unlawful assembly last night after broken windows, destroyed cars, and businesses were vandalized.
This weekend, OC will join the national conversation with 6 planned protests over two days, the first of which started peacefully at 1 p.m. in the Orange Circle (see photo below).
Our news team is out on the streets of OC today, covering peacful protests in the Orange Circle (above) and in Santa Ana. The Santa Ana Police Department released a statement this morning acknowledging that Floyd’s death is sparking the urge to speak out.
“We support everyone’s right to free speech and peaceful protest. However, we will NOT tolerate any injury to any person or any damage to property.” — SAPD Chief (and SAC alum) David Valentin
