With helicopters circling above and National Guard vehicles lining the streets, hundreds of Sacramento demonstrators took a knee in front of City Hall Monday night. They raised their cell phones to the setting sun, and vowed to peacefully protest the police killing of George Floyd.
After the crowd returned to Cesar Chavez Plaza, they peacefully disassembled. Despite law enforcement presence throughout downtown, the citywide 8 p.m. curfew was not widely enforced.
