The crowd took a knee as James Scurlock's father was introduced.
James Scurlock II thanked protesters for their work and credited them with the Douglas County attorney’s decision to ask for a special prosecutor to be appointed and a grand jury to be convened to review his son's death.
The 22-year-old Scurlock, a black man from Omaha, was fatally shot about 11 p.m. on the first Saturday of protests.
