The Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office has released body camera footage from protests during the last weekend in May.
WJCT News partner News4Jax on Wednesday obtained the videos from the protests that happened during the weekend after the death of George Floyd at the hands of Minneapolis police.
Hundreds of protesters gathered in Downtown Jacksonville to demand justice for Floyd, and dozens were arrested over two days.
The Sheriff’s Office released 12 different videos showing the arrests made. State prosecutors have since dismissed charges for nearly all of the demonstrators arrested May 30 and 31.
One video shows several officers on the Main Street Bridge. A woman screams and a man next to a concrete median can be seen being taken to the ground by officers. Then, officers can be seen zip-tying the man’s hands behind his back.
