WHERE: Police Headquarters, 40 College Street
WHEN: Saturday, March 26, 4:30 p.m.
WHAT: Hundreds of supporters filled the square in front of police headquarters on Saturday in support of Black Lives Matter Toronto. The sound of drums and music could be heard long before the protest could be seen, and the crowd regularly chanted, “Black lives, they matter here!” The Black Lives Matter Toronto tent city is focused on a number of demands, including revealing the name of the police officer who killed Andrew Loku, an overhaul of the Special Investigations Unit that oversees the use of force by police, and an end to carding. The Black Lives Matter protest has now been camped out for almost eight days.
