Organizers in San Diego urged the group to remain peaceful as they demonstrated their anger at systemic racism and police killings of black people.
After a morning of chanting through the streets of downtown San Diego on Sunday, hundreds of demonstrators protesting the death of George Floyd marched on Interstate 5, blocking traffic in both directions.
Sunday’s march began around 10 a.m. in front of the Hall of Justice on West Broadway. Half an hour later, enough people to fill a city block were in attendance. One attendee said the march was more than just an opportunity to remember Floyd — it was a call for police across the country to change the way they interacted with black people. Protester Joshua Williams shared with demonstrators that he grew up fearing the police.“Seeing all of you here, colors of every different background standing in solidarity, that’s what it’s all about,” Williams said.
Several times during the demonstration, protesters knelt in front of police officers who were blocking their path, once while on the freeway under a bridge near the Imperial Avenue off-ramp.Advertisement
