After leading a massive protest this weekend, Black Lives Matter issued a long list of demands for police reform on Monday from the steps of Oklahoma City Hall.

The Oklahoma City chapter of the group launched their latest protest after George Floyd died in police custody in Minneapolis last week.

The activists want protestors arrested over the weekend released, more deescalation training for police, an apology from Mayor David Holt and Police Chief Wade Gourley, and they want Gourley to resign.

More than one month into Governor Kevin Stitt's reopening plan, Oklahoma is moving into Phase 3 on Monday.

Under Phase 3, summer camps can open, hospital visitation restrictions are loosened and businesses that have been operating by appointment only can now allow walk-in visits. Staffing restrictions at businesses will also be lifted, with CDC protocols of social distancing and increased cleaning and disinfecting practices recommended.

Demonstrators gathered at NE 36th Street and Kelley Avenue in northeast Oklahoma City on Sunday afternoon in response to the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis, Minnesota last week.

Thousands of people rallied at the demonstration organized by Black Lives Matter OKC before many of them marched south to the state capitol. The protest was largely peaceful and incident-free, as community members passed out water, grilled food and chanted support for marchers.
