Ahead of the rally, Tanya McLean, executive director of Leaders of Kenosha, spoke of the need for justice, healing and safety amid the call to reform law enforcement.
Protesters detailing a list of demands, including calling yet again for the firing of the Kenosha police officer who shot Jacob Blake last August, marched, sat and blocked the door to the Public Safety Building Sunday afternoon.
Seven hours later, they were arrested.
The rally began at 3 p.m. at Regimen Barber Collective, 1345 52nd St. before they marched to the Public Safety Building at 1000 55th St., blocking the main entrance in peaceful protest. The Public Safety Building, still boarded over from the civil unrest, which rocked the city after the Blake shooting, was also the backdrop of speakers who called for their demands to be heard.
