The protesters, upward of 300 strong, gathered outside the St. Pete Police Department at the intersection of 13th Street and First Ave North to make certain their voices were heard.
Earlier that day, the St. Petersburg Police Department unveiled new body cameras for police officers.
ST. PETERSBURG — Like many cities across the nation, St. Pete has been the site of daily and nightly protests beginning on Saturday, May 30, sparked by the police killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis.
Yet, Bristol also noted that while protesters were able to march through the streets of south St. Pete without issue, when “…we arrived on Beach Drive, there were multiple police present.”
He said the platform includes reviewing policies on body cameras for police officers with taxpayer access to videos, and equity audits on city programs and departments.
