Peaceful March To Polls In North Carolina Ends With Police Pepper Spraying Children & Protestors
In North Carolina, Alamance County sheriffs pepper-sprayed peaceful protestors who were participating in the “I Am Change” march to the polls on Sunday.
Approximately 200 people walked from Wayman’s AME Church to Court Square with a police escort and eventually held a rally encouraging people to vote.
The marchers held a moment of silence in the streets in honor of George Floyd, a black man who was killed while being arrested by police during the summer.
When law enforcement instructed the marchers to step toward the sidewalk, they began pepper-spraying the crowd and arrested several people.
