protest 6-18
21st straight night of protests in downtown lexington...protest ers say they're still hurt by racist comments shouted yesterday more than a dozen times during public comment on an urban county council zoom call.
People claiming to be lexingtonians got on anonymously and shouted threats and the n-word.
At today's council meeting...public comment was suspended.
The mayor also announced the city's law and tech departments will try to find ways to allow public comment again via zoom...with the ability to verify callers first.
A smaller group of protesters were out tonight.
They say the comments yesterday were tough to hear...but brought a much needed wake up call for the city.
