OAKLAND (CBS SF) — Thousands took to the streets of Oakland on Wednesday to protest the in-custody death of George Floyd, but unlike other nights, the demonstrations remained peaceful and police made just one arrest.

The day began with hundreds including Golden State stars Steph Curry and Klay Thompson marching around Oakland’s Lake Merritt in an Unity event chanting the names of Floyd and others who have died locally in officer-involved shooting and demanding change.

The march was organized by a community group including Golden State teammate and Bay Area native Juan Toscano-Anderson, who attended Castro Valley High School.
