Demonstrators who set up tents outside City Hall in Kansas City three weeks ago to demand police reform after an officer placed his knee on the back of a pregnant Black women have announced a temporary end to their encampment.
The Kansas City Star reports that Black Rainbow, one of the groups that organized the occupation, announced on Instagram they’d declared a “ceasefire" after beginning talks with public officials about divesting funds from law enforcement.
Ryan Sorrel, a leader with Black Rainbow, said the demonstrators will return if they don’t see the changes they want.
