Protesters at a demonstration for Saleem Osman march beside police barricades while holding various signs. The sign in the front reads “Free Saleem! End Police Brutality.” The sign in the middle reads “Cops You Attacked The Wrong Cabbie! We Will Fight You.” The sign in the back reads “Saleem Osman Was Attacked By Cops! We Demand Justice.” To the left of the protesters is a police officer on a motorcycle and a second officer walking.
