A group of about 40 people met in downtown Phoenix at the Cesar Chavez Memorial Plaza Friday evening to demand justice for multiple people killed at the hands of Arizona law enforcement.
The demonstration came after numerous protesters had their charges dropped by the Maricopa County Attorney s Office in relation to Black Lives Matter protests last summer, when many Arizona activist groups led dozens of protests.
Organizers said they held the protest to demand that the attorney s office reopen cases or charge law enforcement responsible for the police shootings.
The event had speeches from close family members of people who were killed by Arizona police such as Dion Johnson, Dalvin Hollins, Anthony Cano and Angel Benitez.

The Chandler Police Department released a redacted police report on Thursday afternoon about the Jan. 2 police shooting that ultimately killed 17-year-old Anthony Cano weeks later.
Chandler police issued the report eight days after they released unredacted body-camera footage showing Officer Chase Bebak-Miller attempting to stop Cano, who was riding a bicycle, before pursuing him in a foot chase into Gazelle Meadows Park and shooting Cano in the back twice when the teen reached for a handgun that fell out of his pocket.
