"I feel like I need to be present as a white woman, showing my support for my brothers and sisters here. Because that woman was wrong and committed murder, not second-degree manslaughter. That was strict murder and the world needs to hear it," said Angie, one of the protesters.
Protests started after Wright, a 20-year-old Black man, was shot during a traffic stop on Sunday. According to police, the officer intended to use a taser but mistakenly pulled her gun.
