The Coalition for Justice was going to meet at the area above Red Arrow Park/Starbucks and sing their own songs in remembrance of Dontre Hamilton during the city/county tree-lighting ceremony … apart from the crowd. The police cordoned off the area pushing the Coalition into the crowd. They started to sing their protest songs and the police swooped in after a few minutes and arrested Nate Hamilton, a man playing a drum, and Jennifer Epps-Addison.
