Marchers in Washington, New York, Boston Protest Against Police Killings
Thousands of demonstrators marched in Washington, New York and Boston on Saturday to protest against killings of unarmed black men by police officers.
Organizers said the marches were among the largest in a recent wave of protests against the deaths that have cast a global spotlight on race relations in the United States.
The rallies were mainly peaceful, though police in Boston said they arrested 23 people who tried to block a highway.
Officers in Oakland, California said they detained about 45 people for vandalism, failure to disperse, resisting arrest and other charges on Saturday night after thousands took to the streets.
