Protesters Lay Down On Second Street Overpass

A large number of protesters laid down on Hood River’s Second Street overpass for eight minutes and 46 seconds early Wednesday evening, the length of time a Minneapolis police officer had his knee on George Floyd’s neck.  Hood River Police Chief Neal Holste said the group had gathered at Overlook Memorial Park at 4:45, and went north on Second Street at about 6:30 to stage the protest.  Holste said the location made it easy for traffic to be re-routed, and everything was peaceful.
