Hundreds took to the Hamilton County Court House on

Monday afternoon, protesting the death of George Floyd, asking for justice and asking for change

The crowd in downtown Cincinnati brought signs and their voices to try and get their message across.

“Solidarity against racism and black lives matter," Alex Rhodes a protester said. "That’s why we’re here.”

Protesters of all ages and races came to support the cause.

“I think the police system is in need of serious reform and has been for a long time," Carl Rhodes, another protester said. "And I thought, frankly, that those of us that are older and from multiple demographic backgrounds to come an support what’s really an American issue of justice, not an issue affecting use a single population.”

After George Floyd was killed last week, many in this crowd felt the need to make sure change does come. The crowd kneeled for eight minutes in honor of Floyd.

“After seeing the video of George Floyd, it really triggered something deep inside of me that made me want to speak up," Ro Morsby, a protester said.

And now with curfews in place across the city of Cincinnati, even more arrests are being made.

“I was at the protest Saturday and I was arrested for violating curfew and I’m here again today, I just got out of jail Sunday morning and I’m here again to speak up and say that they system is unjust and there needs to be reform and change," Morsby said. "And it starts with people raising their voices and not being afraid to speak up.”

Some even saying because of that experience they feel an even larger call to action.

“After sitting in a jail cell and seeing how the officers refused to answer questions about how we were being processed," Morsby said. "It was unfair and there needs to be change and I’m tired of it.”

Protesters say they want to see a lot change in the police departments across the country, and hope these protests will make sure something good comes out of Floyd’s death.

“We need serious structural, financial, legal, operational reforms to fix what’s been broken for a long time and we need it desperately," Carl Rhodes said. "If we can just signal to the American public that we’re going to do real things to change things I think that would make a huge difference.”

From what was observed, this protest was completely peaceful. Everyone just chanting in solidarity, using their voice and wanting it to be heard.
