(LaPorte, IN) – A demonstration for Black Lives Matter is planned in the City of LaPorte on Friday, June 5th.

Dermody says he wants to let them know he supports protesting but won’t stand for things getting out of hand. Dermody says what happened to George Floyd shouldn’t happen to anyone and the City of LaPorte is a community where people of all races are welcome. Friday’s demonstration is scheduled to start at 4 p.m. at the U.S 35 overpass and outside the courthouse.
