Casey Albritton was in Huntsville to explain the goals of the protest organizer wants to achieve.
A mask.
This evening we are hearing from an organizer of a protest scheduled for this thursday.
The organizer says he is trying to make sure everything stays peaceful-- after a protest ended with teargas and dozens of arrests.
Waay 31's casey albritton is live to explain the goals the protest organizer wants to achieve.... and how he plans to keep things from escalating.
The protest is scheduled to happen here--outside of huntsville city hall--and the organizer tells me he will be monitoring the crowd to make sure people are following city ordinances.
"for them to acknowledge our demands and tell us what you're doing to see that those demands are met.
" damar thomas is helping organize this thursday's protest.
He says he wants the city and police department to make some changes.
"the police should be more transparent, be it through their hiring process."
Thomas and another organizer, brenan lewis put together a list of goals they want- including more training on the use of force policies and releasing standard procedures to the public.
"if there are procedures that say when such and such happens, then this force is justified, then we need to see those."
Thomas says he is advertising the protest on social media as peaceful--and hopes it goes smoothly like last friday's protest in downtown huntsville.
"it was a very organized, very peaceful protest.
We made sure the streets were not blocked and people stayed on the sidewalks and we made sure people were very respectful."
The protest begins at 5 p-m on thursday--and protesters are asked to wear a mask and dress in black.
