Kristian stand up: there are dozens of people here in downtown chico, you can see most of them are wearing their masks, they are chanting, holding up their signs, organizers say this is all a response to the death of george floyd and they are calling for a change.

Marty dunlap: we do not want our law enforcement to be acting in such an egregious manner on the other hand i feel that our police are under so much stress they are not thinking clearly about their actions so they need more care as well.

Ann polivka/demonstrator: i dont want that kind of violence, i want to see things done but you have to have support to get things done from the community so chicoans need to step up..

Cristina preza: i wish the community would come together and say all lives matter in a civil way and follow the law and don't start hating police officers because not all police officers are bad.

Marty dunlap: people have a right to their opinion, of course all lives matter but we are seeing this type of injustice with one particular group and i think thats where we need to be paying attention..

Danielle allen/demonstrator: this has to stop this has to end we are using our voices and bodies to bring some awareness and hopefully bring some change.
