BOSTON (CBS) — Dozens gathered in Roxbury Sunday evening to rally and protest against the shooting of Jacob Blake and police brutality. Blake, a 29-year-old Black man, was shot by police in Kenosha, Wisconsin last Sunday. He is paralyzed from the waist down.
The demonstration started with a moment of silence for those who died from police brutality.
Protestors are holding signs such as “Justice for Jacob Blake”, “Standing in Solidarity,” and “Stop the War on Black America.”
