Protesters have been gathering in front of police
headquarters at Seventh and Jefferson streets since the December 2002
shooting of James Taylor -- a black man who was killed by a white
officer. Coleman said that since that time, other cases have also
caused concern. Yesterday participants prayed for those involved in
recent cases, including Marshall Galloway, 25, who was restrained in a
headlock by an officer and sprayed with pepper spray even after he was
handcuffed. Forty-five minutes of that incident were caught on police
video. [more]
