About 100 demonstrators gathered outside the Essex County Courthouse in Newark on Saturday to call for police reform and an end to police brutality. The rally was held in front of the courthouse's famous Seated Lincoln statue.
The rally was held in front of the courthouse's famous Seated Lincoln statue, and featured around a dozen speakers.
The protest was also one of many that have gripped the country in the wake of the death of Tyre Nichols, a 29-year-old Black man who died after being beaten by five Memphis Police Department officers during a traffic stop earlier this month. Body cam and surveillance footage of the incident that was released on Friday sparked a nationwide outpouring of grief and anger.
The protesters also called for increased transparency, more civilian oversight of the police, and an end to qualified immunity, no-knock warrants and chokeholds. Some members of the state's Legislature have introduced bills that would enable local civilian review boards with subpoena power, but they’ve stalled out amid pushback from police unions and limited support from lawmakers. A bill that would have limited the use of chokeholds has likewise stalled.
Cobbert referred to the shooting as a “murder.” The state attorney general’s office, which investigates all shootings involving police, hasn’t issued any statements about its findings since releasing the 911 calls and footage from officers' body-worn cameras.
