About 500 Hanford protesters Saturday afternoon joined mostly peaceful demonstrations throughout the country
Hanford’s protesters joined mostly peaceful protests around the country as the ongoing demonstrations – from Washington D.C to Los Angeles – have increasingly become more peaceful following violence in the weeks following Floyd’s brutal death.
On June 1, approximately 300 energetic young protesters walked peacefully from downtown Lemoore to Hanford Armona Road before returning to the downtown area. They also stopped at the Lemoore Police Department.
One spectator said Saturday that Hanford's protest was probably the most significant protest he had seen in nearly 40 years in Hanford.
Several speakers addressed the crowd, including the area’s congressman, TJ Cox, and Hanford Police Chief Parker Sever. Cox and others joined the protestors, taking a knee during a moment of silence.
