Black Lives Matter in Utah has scheduled a rally for Sunday to protest a finding that a Salt Lake City police officer was legally justified when he shot and killed a fleeing man in August.
The protest will keep pressure on Salt Lake County District Attorney Sim Gill, who made the finding and who has “proven time and time again that he is more concerned with his relationship to the police department, than actually serving his community in a just fashion,” a Black Lives Matter news release says.
“This is murder and Black Lives Matter along with Salt Lake City will not let murders or those who justify murder go unpunished,” the release says.
