WOODS CROSS, Utah - About 100 protesters gathered outside a police agency in northern Utah to demand an officer who pulled his gun on a 10-year-old child last week be fired. The crowd carried Black Lives Matter signs Friday evening and others protesting the incident, including one that said “Hey Cops! Black Lives Matter in Utah founder Lex Scott said her group was inspired to organize the protest after learning the officer would stay on the job. The officer told DJ to put his hands in the air and get on the ground and told him not to ask questions. Protesters called for more police officer accountability and better training for how to deescalate situations and identify bias.
