32 people arrested during stay-at-home protest at California Capitol
More than 500 people gathered at the California Capitol in Sacramento Friday to protest Gov. Gavin Newsom’s stay-at-home order.
“The majority of the demonstrators were not wearing face masks or physically distancing and at one point a group of them locked hands,” according to the California Highway Patrol. “In so doing, they were jeopardizing the health and safety of themselves, as well as our officers and onlookers during this ongoing Covid-19 pandemic.”
As a result, police arrested 32 people for failing to comply with the lawful orders to disperse, along with health and safety violations, the release said.
