BETTENDORF, Iowa — Saturday demonstrators came together outside the Bettendorf Police Department to protest against police brutality.

Organizers say the peaceful protest was created in response to the recent killings of many black Americans including George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and Ahmaud Arbery. Organizers tell News 8, while there has been steps in the right direction against police brutality the work is not over.

"2020 brought a lot of good change but there is still a lot of work to be done and that's our goal, to keep the momentum going and make sure this problem actually gets fixed" said Eric Puryer, organizer.
