Protesters March in Michigan on Anniversary of Police Shooting of Black Woman (+Video)

TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Hundreds of supporters of the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement marched through the streets of Ann Arbour in Michigan on Sunday.

World

On Nov. 9, 2014, an Ann Arbor officer shot and killed Aura Rosser, a 40-year-old Black woman.

Six years later, the officer still works for the department, having been cleared by Washtenaw County Prosecutor Brian Mackie, who found the shooting to be lawful self defense.

With seemingly little progress made in the area of police reform after Rosser’s death, about 200 protesters took to the downtown Ann Arbor streets Sunday night to push for change and honor her name.

Footage shows protesters marching through the streets and among local restaurants and using banners to block police cars.

The rally is part of protests across the US against police brutality and racial discrimination in the wake of killings of a number of black Americans by police officers earlier this year.
