KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — Protesters gathered in Krutch Park in Downtown Knoxville after George Floyd's death in Minneapolis police custody last week.
Organizers said it's a peaceful demonstration after the death of George Floyd one week ago today.
The four officers involved were fired, and the one seen on Floyd's neck is charged with third-degree murder.
People wearing masks and holding signs kneeled in the grass in silence as one member of the group sang "Amazing Grace."

Organizers shared their stories and asked for change.
Hundreds of peaceful protesters finished marching down Gay Street around 6:30 p.m. Some are still chanting “Say His Name” and “Black Lives Matter," and people are honking to their chants.
