A protest in downtown Lawrenceville remained largely peaceful Monday evening, ending with police officers and city officials bowing their heads in prayer with the 500 or so protestors at the scene.

Though police officers blocked off several streets to keep the protestors from marching away from City Hall and were equipped with shields, zip ties and pepper spray, by the end officers spoke with protesters about their concerns and even hugged a few of them in solidarity with their cause.

This was the third protest in Lawrenceville in two days following the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis. People began to gather outside City Hall around 4 p.m., one hour before the protest was set to begin. By 5 p.m. a couple hundred protestors stood outside with signs that read, "Black Lives Matter," "Can't Breathe," "No Justice, No Peace" and more.
