OPINION: Spencer needs to hear what protesters have to say

By Tim Weideman | June 3, 2020

Spencer needs to hear what Thursday’s protesters have to say. If you don’t know, there’s a peaceful protest planned for 5 p.m. Thursday in Spencer. Protesters will gather at East Leech Park and march on the sidewalks of Grand Avenue to the Spencer Police Department, where they will share their message before heading back. The protest is called the March For Justice For George Floyd on its public Facebook event page. 

The group’s purpose is made clear in the event description: “We will march and stand as one community to fight racism and call for the Minneapolis Police Department to prosecute the officers involved with the MURDER of George Floyd. Demand justice.
