Woods Cross • More than a dozen black children made their way out from between demonstrators to stand front and center at the protest outside the Woods Cross police station. They carried signs asking, in one way or another, “Am I next?” Some wore shirts that said, “I matter.”
The crowd resoundingly agreed. And if their lives matter, then that means they don’t deserve a gun in their face. And neither, Scott said, did D.J. Hrubes.
The crowd of more than 150 people had gathered Friday evening to call for Woods Cross to fire a police officer who pointed a gun at 10-year-old Hrubes, who is black.
