According to Police Chief Renee Hall, officers began noticing a separation of protesters beginning around 8:45 to 9 p.m.
“Last night we saw a very large, peaceful demonstration that reflected the Dallas that I know as a native son of this city,” Johnson said.
Johnson said the outrage over Floyd’s death was justified, and added tha police officers in Dallas and all over the country shared in the condemnation of the acts which led to his death.
Dallas Police Chief Renee Hall, who had spoken longside the mayor the day before, found herself at the podium again the next day.
On Monday, Texas Governor Gregg Abbott made an appearance with the mayors of Dallas and Fort Worth and vowed to use state resources to support local cities dealing with actions which go above and beyond the level of “peaceful protests.”
