CHARLESTON, S.C. (WCSC) - Community activists are calling on Charleston police and city officials to allow the right to peacefully protest.
Justin Hunt with the group Stand As One said communication with law enforcement kept changing leading up to the demonstration, and people were blocked from marching on King Street.
âWe were met with armed officers with bats, and hand ties in their hands threatening by force, to restrict our legal rights to a legal peaceful presentation,â Hunt said. âThe entire time of the protest there was no violence, no one was assaulted, and no property was damaged. With over a year of history with Stand As one, I would like to state we have no charges of violence or damaged to property.â
