Five Arrests During Third Peaceful Protest In RC

For the second day in a row, young people marched in downtown Rapid City in memory of George Floyd, and in peaceful protest of police brutality. Law enforcement followed the nearly 200 protesters. The group finished the march at Main Street square where they were met by about 10 young counter protesters.

There were verbal altercations, but law enforcement kept the peace. A group of nearly 40 protesters continued downtown protesting without violence. There were five confirmed arrests-most for blocking traffic and crossing the street illegally. Organizers say another March is scheduled for noon Wednesday, downtown.
