WCPO: I-Team analysis: Nearly all protesters arrested were from Cincinnati area
UC civil rights expert Charles Jones interviewed on demographics of protesters in Cincinnati
In the aftermath of George Floyd’s death, WCPO estimated that more than 10,000 people protested in Cincinnati between the period of May 30-June 2. Of those arrested during that time, numbering over 300, most were Greater Cincinnati residents of diverse race.
"Before it could always be a black thing, but now it's more than a black thing," Charles Jones, an africana studies professor at the University of Cincinnati, told WCPO.
Jones also said the diversity of protesters will help them accomplish their goals.
