Murder protest

The first photograph was of a demonstration after a police officer was accused of killing a hispanic man who was the subject of a welfare check.  The week-long protest took place in-front to the Phoenix Police headquarters.  A symbolic coffin was the focal point for one of the nightly protests.  At the end of the week, a murder indictment was issued. The protesters then held a rally to thank the county attorney and the Phoenix Police department for the investigation and first degree murder charge.  The trial may begin sometime in 2013.  (posted June 10, 2013) Update: the trail ended in a aggravated assault conviction that carries up to 15 years in prison.  The jury was deadlock on the 2nd degree murder and animal cruelty because the officer killed the victims dog.
