Columbus Police March With Protesters
By ABC 6 News. On the fifth day of protesting in downtown Columbus, Police Chief Thomas Quinlan and other officers were among the crowd speaking and walking with protesters.
As he spoke with some protesters, others chanted “no justice, no peace.”
As police and protesters walked, Quinlan was asked if he considered walking with protesters earlier. He said earlier in the week there were too many people who wanted to cause damage and hurt people and hurt officers. He noted that the people involved in Monday night’s protests are not among those.
During the march, police and protesters stopped and knelt at High Street and Nationwide Boulevard to recite the Lord’s Prayer.
