In an attempt to pushback on the city of Akron and the police department's characterization of protesters as violent, about 50 people marched through downtown Monday night carrying red carnations.

Ward 4 Akron City Councilmember Russ Neal happened upon the protest right after the police arrived. He says protesters should be able to demonstrate in their own communities but understands first responders' concerns about emergency vehicles getting through protests.
