What are the details?

According to the Dallas Observer, protesters were demonstrating after 26-year-old Marvin Scott III died while in police custody in March. Seven of the eight police officers allegedly involved in Scott’s death, which was ruled a homicide, were fired, while the eighth officer has since resigned.

Hava Johnston, who was involved in the protest, said demonstrators were making their way to a nearby Chick-fil-A when they crossed through the intersection and blocked traffic.

Johnston told the Observer the enraged motorist should have been arrested for his actions, claiming a black man would have been.

“The question is: Why wasn’t that guy treated the same way that a person of color would have been treated?” she said.

The Plano Police Department has not publicly addressed the incident.
