Something was wrong with the first clip

Morning with more..

Alex good morning.

#### the arrest of five protesters 10 days ago on misdemeanor charges during a black lives matter rally is what sparked the concern... in the letter sent to mayor linda gorton the n-double-a-cp accuses the department and the fraternal order of police of retaliating against protest organizers, violating the intent of police body cameras and a variety of other infractions, including not following coronavirus health and safety protocol.

Protesters and others previously complained about the use of choke holds in at least one of the july 11th arrests... police and protesters released competing videos to support their various positions... officers say it wasn't a chokehold while protesters say it was.

The naacp said officers can be heard on the police videos plotting to arrest the protesters... police chief lawrence weathers told the lexington herald-leader that the police don't retaliate against anybody.

The naacp letter was also sent to f- o-p president jonathan bastion... the group is asking for disciplinary action against the officers involved in these incidents.
