The officer took a megaphone and asked the crowd that if he took the knee, would they agree to make the protest peaceful.
He wore a homemade white T-shirt with the words “DYING BREED” scrawled across it in black and red Sharpie, just above George Floyd’s name, because he said that as a black man in America, that’s what he was.
“We a dying breed out here,” he said. “Cops have been killing us for years. What makes them believe it’s OK? People don’t even realize it until it has some massive effect like this,” he continued. Hundreds of marchers converged both in Hollywood and West Hollywood, among the numerous protests on Monday.
One group marched west down Hollywood Boulevard in the heart of the tourist district. Another group was at a corner of Sunset Boulevard.At the West Hollywood event, an LAPD officer was seen on video taking a knee in support of the demonstrators. He heard screams of support, then got to his knee to more applause. He then asked everyone to stay safe and leave by the curfew time.
