Thousands marched late into the evening across Brooklyn and Manhattan.

The policy shift comes after the video of Daniel Prude's detainment was released.

Six protesters were detained.

Police fired tear gas and pepper balls at protesters in Rochester as demonstrations continued over the weekend.

Protests marched for a fifth night while looters tore through midtown Manhattan and the Bronx.

Demonstrators marched in a fourth day of protests in response to the police killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis.

The rally, held the day before the one-year anniversary of Vassell's death, brought dozens of people to City Hall, including the victim's parents, Lorna and Eric Vassell.
