More Colorado students join police protests
More Colorado students left class on Friday to protest recent decisions not prosecute police officers in the deaths of two black men.
About 400 students from several Aurora high school and middle schools converged on the Denver suburb’s municipal center. The court building, city hall and library were temporarily shut down during the protest.
The protest was largely peaceful but police said some students banged and spit on patrol cars.
About 150 students also protested at the state Capitol as officers stood watch on the West Steps.
It was the third straight day of student protests in the Denver area over decisions not to indict officers in the deaths in Ferguson, Missouri and New York City.
Denver officials are promising a series of forums to discuss race and law enforcement.
