A demonstration in the East Bay is causing anger and sadness within the community, especially since it was held on the same day as the mass shooting in Buffalo.
“It’s totally unbelievable,” said Danville resident Gloria Domingo“It’s disturbing to say the least, because there’s a lot of us here,” she said.
While others are not as surprised like Veronica Benjamin, the co-founder of “Conscious Contra Costa.” Benjamin grew up in Danville and told NBC Bay Area how she first reacted to the demonstration.Benjamin added that a friend sent her one of the photos of the rally. “I had just read about what happened in Buffalo, so I was wondering if it was organized or if these people were just extremely tone-deaf, so I was just, how distasteful could you be, how disrespectful of human life could you be?” Benjamin said.
Conscious Contra Costa was formed by women of color, following the police killings of Tyrell Wilson and Laudemer Arboleda. Both shot and killed by Andrew Hall, a former member of the Danville Police Department, whose now in jail.“We’re just asking to share space. And we hope that that wouldn’t threaten them that they’re listed as a ‘them’, rather than a ‘we’ in community in the same area,” Benjamin said.“We have to heal as humanity together,” Benjamin said.
The Contra Costa County Sheriff's Department told NBC Bay Area Sunday that it responded to the demonstration and determined they were not violating the law.
