Carrying signs that read “George Floyd’s Life Matters,” “Black Lives Matter,” “White Silence is Violence,” “No Justice No Peace,” “Stop Racism With Positive Action,” “No More Excuses” and “I Won’t be Silent So You Can Be Comfortable,” more than 1,000 people turned out Sunday evening for a peaceful protest at Pasadena City Hall over the officer-involved death of George Floyd on Monday, May 25, in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
That was far different from the scene earlier that day, when an estimated 100 people marched from La Pintoresca Park at North Fair Oaks Avenue and Washington Boulevard to Old Pasadena. There, according to the online news site Pasadena Now, protesters continued chanting and confronted drivers caught up in the street action. Although there were a few skirmishes, no major injuries were reported, according to police and other local news outlets.
