Protesters Removed After Disrupting Democratic Debate in Detroit

Storyful

Protesters interrupted New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio and Democratic Senator Cory Booker during the Democratic debate in Detroit, Michigan, on July 31. This footage shows security removing protesters as they shout “Fire Pantaleo,” a reference to Daniel Pantaleo, the police officer who put Eric Garner in a deadly chokehold in 2014. The protesters were first heard as de Blasio made his opening remarks and continued as Booker made his introduction. The Department of Justice had previously announced it would not bring charges against Pantaleo. New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio faced criticism for declining to support demands from Garner’s family for Pantaleo to be fired. “To the protestors in the audience today: I heard you. I saw you. I thank you. This is what democracy looks like and no one said it was pretty,” de Blasio said in a tweet responding to the protests. Credit: @ElyssaK via Storyful

Senator Cory Booker Talks Immigration at Newark #FamiliesBelongTogether Event

Hundreds of protesters stood at the steps of City Hall in Newark, New Jersey, on Saturday, June 30, as Senator Cory Booker spoke during the city’s Families Belong Together March. “Today we stand up for love over hate. Today we stand up for love over ego. Today we stand up for love over separation. Today we stand up for love over barriers. Today we stand up for love over borders. Today we stand up for love over and over and over again,” said Booker, addressing the crowd. Organizers planned the events, taking place all across the United States, as a response to US President Donald Trump’s zero-tolerance policy on immigration, which has led to children being separated from their parents at the US border.
