BATON ROUGE- Protesters advocating against police brutality and racism took their demands to District Attorney Hillar Moore's front door Thursday.

The Minneapolis police officer's killing of George Floyd on May 25 has resulted in protests against racism and abuse over much of the world. In Baton Rouge, several protests have occurred both at the State Capitol and on Siegen Lane.

Dozens marched down Highland Road Thursday, chanting and holding signs. Police closed off the road around 6:30 p.m. because of the size of the demonstration.

A 9-minute moment of silence was taken following the chant to recognize the tragic amount of time that a Minneapolis police officer knelt on the neck of George Floyd.

"No justice, no peace, no racist police," the crowd shouts in the Instagram video.

Local authorities from Gov. John Bel Edwards to Police Chief Murphy Paul have decried Floyd's death, with Edwards calling it "egregious" and Paul describing the video of Floy'd death as shocking.

In Minneapolis, the officer who held Floyd down with a knee on his neck has been arrested.
