“Law and order must be maintained here in Collin County and our county certainly must not be the anarchist center like Seattle and Portland,” one woman said.
Scott became unresponsive in the Collin County jail on March 14 after officials say jailers pepper-sprayed him, covered his face with a spit hood and tried strapping him to a restraint bed.
Two weeks later, Sheriff Jim Skinner fired seven detention officers though one was reinstated after an appeal.
In late April, Scott s death was ruled a homicide and his family was allowed to view video of his final hours alive.
“What we seen today was horrific, inhumane,” said Scott’s mother LaSandra Scott.

San Antonians will have a chance to properly pay their respects to Daunte Wright Sr., the 20-year-old Black man killed by police in Minnesota last weekend.
Digna Candelario, a San Antonio resident and mother of one, announced plans to host a peaceful gathering at Travis Park for Wright, who was shot and killed by former officer Kim Potter during a traffic stop. The event, which Candelario said will be a joint rally and memorial, will also be a chance for locals to mourn Marvin Scott, a Black man who died in police custody last month.
