I arrived here 10 days after George Floyd was killed by a Minneapolis police officer, sparking massive protests around the country. The historic Harrison town square, with its memorial to the Confederate war dead, was already closed to traffic as I drove into the area. Civilian men with military-style rifles and sidearms peered into approaching cars as if it were a border checkpoint.
Organizers say Saturday is meant to be a peaceful protest so their voices may be heard about what needs to change in our community and across the nation, listing their demands on the event page including charges against protestors being dropped among others.
