Police Brutality March Organizers Tell White Protesters To Move To Back Of Demonstration
PHILADELPHIA (CBSNewYork/AP) -- Organizers of a march against police brutality in Philadelphia are telling white protesters to move to the back of the demonstration, saying the action is "a black and brown resistance march."
Philly REAL Justice organizer Erica Mines says the rally and march are "anti-police" and tells the crowd the officers present on bikes are not there to protect them.

Mines also told the crowd of about 500 marchers that "Hillary Clinton has blood on her hands."
In a call and echo chant, the crowd repeats "Power to the people! No power to these pigs!"
The group is marching from near Temple University, in north Philadelphia, south on Broad Street to City Hall. There, they'll meet up with another group decrying police brutality and economic injustice and then move down to a park near the convention site.
