INDIANAPOLIS (WTHR) - If you wonder if the message is taking hold, just look at the crowds.
Thousands of people showed up Saturday afternoon at the Statehouse, continuing calls for equality and police reform.
“I think it’s amazing, seeing all these faces and to be here and be part of it is just that much better,” Zane Landwerlen said.
The crowd was made up of men and women, black and white, young and old. It was easily the largest of Indy’s nine days of protests.
They were people from different walks of life, but the message was the same.
“We shouldn’t have to deal with this any longer. We shouldn’t have protest," Courtney Jones said. "We should not have to have signs with a whole bunch of dead people’s names on them just to make a point."
People splintered off around 5 p.m. Saturday. A smaller group continued protesting and marching around downtown Saturday night, past the city’s imposed curfew.
Police stayed behind the marchers, doing traffic control but never engaging.
Events remained peaceful through the night.
