Hundreds of protesters gathered at the Colorado Capitol for the Justice for George Floyd, Breonna Taylor and Sean Reed & Others rally on May 28.

Hundreds of demonstrators gathered at the State Capitol on May 28 for the Justice for George Floyd, Breonna Taylor and Sean Reed & Others rally. But what started out peaceful turned into a protest that stretched through blocks of downtown and Capitol Hill; police ultimately used tear gas to disperse the crowd. "Coloradans are better than this," said Governor Jared Polis.
