This Friday afternoon, hundreds of people marched down the sidewalks of Valencia Boulevard to protest in front of Santa Clarita City Hall for the same cause.
After a full week of protests in the Santa Clarita Valley, no arrests have been made, and no injuries have been reported, despite concerns that led to the City of Santa Clarita declaring a local state of Emergency on Wednesday.

Although curfews had at one point been put in place by Los Angeles County and the City of Santa Clarita in order to curb potential looting by those taking advantage of the large gatherings, an incident that has occurred across the nation, the curfews have since been rescinded.
In Santa Clarita, the planned curfew that was set to take place on Thursday night was canceled after the large protest resulted in no arrests and no injuries, according to City officials.
“In light of the peaceful protests, we have seen today in our City, and in consultation with the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, the City of Santa Clarita is rescinding the curfew for this evening,” said the City on social media. “There will be no curfew tonight in Santa Clarita.”

The National Guard remained in Santa Clarita on Friday in response to the seventh day of protests in Valencia, after originally being called in to monitor the situation on Thursday.
Although the protests that occurred Thursday in the same area remained “peaceful,” the National Guard has returned Friday in the event the protest becomes violent, according to officials.
As of 3:30 p.m. Friday, the protests remained non-violent, as hundreds of people gathered on the lawns and sidewalks in front of City Hall.

Dogood: Interesting stats! These facts never show up in local news media! Wow, that was during time of our savior, the anointed leader B. Hussein Obama, who was suppose to bring peace, change and tranquility to us?!? Ask any Liberal if they would bring their family to S. LA to have B-B Q then stroll around? If their answer is no, they’re a racist!
Enough already. Stop with this unproductive nonsense. Go volunteer in the underprivileged communities and truly help others in need. Address the real issues would be a better place to start.
If you don’t agree with the protest, is it really inconveniencing you? Nope. You can get on with your life and leave the protestors do it. Enough with telling them to stop.
David,
Clearly you don’t work. We work and we enjoy our community. We would like to open our businesses too. You don’t know how any of this mess has inconvenienced our community, it sounds to me like you are not a resident here. Move along instigator…
Clearly you’re assuming several thing not in evidence.
Now YOU are dismissed- Move it!
Denny, it may be time for you to move back to South Central
Yo Roger- Why do you suggest moving back to South Central?
I’m sorry YOU are inconvenienced? How do you think George Floyd’s daughter feels? And all the families that have lost loved ones due to police brutality. Wake up!
Michelle, if the protests were really about Mr Floyd and police brutality, I would be right there with them. Yet it’s not. The narrative is about race. The leaders keep power by race baiting the masses. Much of the argument that men of color are more likely to be killed by police comes from stats gatherer by Fatal Encounters. They are a journalist led group tracking police brutality and shootings. Nobody is quoting sources just spewing dogma. As we have seen with the recent uproar at the New York Times and in the commentary on CNN and Fox news, journalists are more activists than impartial journalists. Racism is real. Always has been. Always will be. Yet, its not always the problem. There are other contributions to the problems we have. Putting them all into one basket, calling it rascim doesn’t help when you can’t even locate the source of your arguement.
You are outnumbered with such rhetoric, this lies no longer work. American citizens we are all one united in PEACE!
Remain SILENT!!!
That’s not very American to tell someone to remain quiet. I think ignoring facts on both sides is what has us at each others throats. Emotion should be set asife in discourse. There’s no give and take anymore. Just command an conquer.

I’m with you on this one.
Wake up people, the man didn’t deserve to die, but don’t forget he was a criminal with a long rap sheet.
Wake up folks!
Sure, no one deserves to die, but don’t forget the man was a criminal. Stop thinking he was a hero, you been brainwashed.
Susan: The career criminal also had Covid-19, Meth & Fentanyl (illegal hard drugs) in his system, all affecting the respiratory system causing difficulties breathing! What the officer & buddies did was wrong, but, could those other things have caused his death?!? He was a bouncer, a big strong man—-
If you can’t see the pervasive racism built into this society it’s because you’re not really paying attention. Even when not especially anti-black, a lot of white people tend to feel superior, just because that’s the message they got growing up. Remember, Jesus was a Palestinian, not Jeff Chandler.
Dave you assume a lot not shown in evidence. Racism isn’t one sided. It does exist and is prevalent in all social groups. Superiority in ones own presence doesn’t have to be racism. When you set aside the dogma you have absorbed you might begin to see that how you react to others might be a reflection of how you feel about yourself.
Dave, Large-scale representative surveys of 8th-, 10th-, and 12th-grade students in the United States show high self-esteem scores for all groups. African-American students score highest, Whites score slightly higher than Hispanics, and Asian Americans score lowest. Males score slightly higher than females. These are facts of an actual study if you care to read it. Your comments are an example of rhetorical dogma. Thats what youve grown up with I assume.

How many officers have been killed or injured at these riots ? Interesting the media including you KHTS don’t bring that information to surface. How many Black on black crimes are committed in Chicago daily, I don’t see protest there.
Let George RIP, his name has been slung in the mud by those doing destruction & civil unrest.
KMS: Near the top of this thread ( shared by Silence Doogood)is an interesting statistical website of facts during the B. Hussein Obama rein of no progress in race improvements/relations
Excellent story, Ms. Aubuchon. Thank you for covering our local news.
You make no since and never will..your wearing a t-shirt that is all white band, the race blaming doesn’t work. The cop and George knew each other from past employment and maybe had a problem with him. And maybe George should have just got in the car without resist. Why do you think white would do that.. I have not seen white people protest unless its against a dumbass president like clinton and obummer
Blame, blame, blame! Why don’t other POC always have these constant problems throughout life?!?! BEHAVIOR!!
