ORLANDO, Fla. — The cries for justice continued in Central Florida, Thursday, despite the rain.

For the sixth day in a row, hundreds peacefully marched through the streets of downtown Orlando to demand police reform.

Reporter Cheryn Stone said protesters in the crowd believed rain affected the crowd's size, but as in previous days they still marched through downtown and onto the Orlando Police Headquarters.

The rain officially postponed a similar protest in Daytona Beach, but some protesters still came out to march.

"Injustice for some is injustice for all"

Among those in the rain was Aston Mack, who led protesters in this chant and several others:

“Injustice for some is injustice for all! Injustice for some is injustice for all!”

Like many others, racial injustice has touched Mack's life personally.

"My father was incarcerated for most of my life," he explained. "I didn’t get to have a dad. And it’s not just that — I mean, I was 12 years old the first time I was on the hood of a police car, and I was at a movie theater, minding my own business with my friends,” Mack said. 

Mack didn't just go out there Thursday because of racial injustice he’s suffered, though. It was also to honor the warrior for racial justice in his family.

“I’m honoring my grandfather, William Harvey, who was actually the mayor of Deltona, and he used to be a senator in the U.S. Virgin Islands,” he said.

He says his grandfather ran for office after encountering racism, even after fighting for our country in World War II.

“He went over to Germany, and the story he always tells is how much better he was treated in every other country he was inthan he was here, and that he thought he needed to change it here,” Mack said. 

So Mack works to continue his grandfather’s legacy of fighting for change and says until they see that change, these protests will continue, rain or shine.

“We’ll be out here until there’s justice,” Mack said.

Protesters in Orlando took a knee and held a moment of silence for George Floyd, not long after the memorial for the slain man from Minneapolis was held. 

Orlando police Thursday also announced they were expediting police body camera video from the protests and making them public on the city of Orlando website, in the interests of transparency. Videos from May 30, May 31 and June 2 were already posted on the website. 

Orange County Mayor Jerry Demings is holding a virtual town hall to continue the conversation from 3-4:30 p.m. on Friday. Local leaders, clergy and law enforcement will be in attendance. Demings is encouraging the community to take part.

Protests continue in cities across the country as people demonstrate over Floyd, who died May 25 after a Minneapolis police officer pressed his knee into Floyd’s neck for several minutes, leading to Floyd's death.

Police to Join Cocoa Protesters This Weekend

Protesters and police will march in solidarity in Cocoa, to show the importance of keeping the peace while also fighting for reform.

Saturday's March for Justice is from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m., with road closures in both directions of Fiske blvd from Rosa Jones Drive to King Street.

A local group, Forever our Home, is hosting the march. Attorney Alton Edmonds, who is a sponsor of the march, says they've received threats, but their voice will be heard.

“People threatening to throw bricks at us, even planting bricks along the march route to try and stir things up. We will be having law enforcement march with us," Edmonds said.

March for Justice is partnering up with difference law enforcement agencies like Cocoa Police Department to show that the community and law enforcement can work together.

“People take advantage of that to turn the event into a violent agenda and drown out their voices. We don't expect that here, we love and appreciate all of our citizens, and we want them to be heard in a peaceful way,” said Cocoa Police spokesperson Yvonne Martinez.
