SALT LAKE CITY In a year marked by the COVID-19 pandemic, a presidential election, and even a serious earthquake, one of the biggest stories here in Utah is what happened on a Saturday afternoon in May. A protest in downtown Salt Lake City turned violent, leaving us with images many never thought we d see here.
Protests have always happened in Utah, and the morning of May 30th was not that much different. This is what democracy looks like, yelled demonstrators.
People voicing their opinions on the national topic of police brutality. I m really glad it s not violent because our kids are here and we wanted to show that we can protest peacefully, a woman said at the protest.
