‘Protesters in Atlanta, Georgia marching against police brutality have shut down Interstate-75 and the northbound side of Interstate-85, where a large police presence is preventing them from advancing further. Meanwhile, in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, some arrests have been made in protests there.
Thousands of people rallied in Atlanta, Georgia and Baton Rouge, Louisiana on Friday to protest the recent police-involved deaths of Alton Sterling and Philando Castile, both African-American men, in Louisiana and Minnesota respectively.
A more local matter important to many Atlanta protesters is the recent hanging of a black man in Piedmont Park, though that death remains under investigation and has not yet been ruled a homicide.’
