Peaceful Protest Against Police Shootings Continue In Denver

DENVER (CBS4)- Protesters continued their peaceful demonstration in Denver Friday in response to the fatal police shootings in Minnesota and Louisiana this month. They also reacted to the deadly shootings of five police officers in Dallas.

At one point, some sat down in the street outside the state Capitol as police stood by on Thursday night but no arrests were made.

Some activists are pledging to continue a sit-in at Civic Center Park for five days to call attention to each black person shot and killed by police across the country this year. They say there were 135 and the demonstration is scheduled to last 135 hours.
