\"Stebven
Justice for Steven Barrier protest in July. (Stamford Advocate)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

By ERWIN FREED<\/strong><\/p>\n

A number of protesters were arrested while peacefully demonstrating on Saturday, Aug. 8, in downtown Stamford, Conn. The activists were calling for justice for Steven Barrier, a 23-year-old Stamford resident who died in police custody in October last year.<\/p>\n

Video posted on social media shows Stamford police officers punching, pushing, and throwing protesters to the ground. These officers come from the same department as those responsible for Steven\u2019s death.<\/p>\n

At least seven activists were detained. Bail was set between $1000 and $10,000, and all attained release by the evening. The organizers are asking that donations to the bail fund be sent to the Connecticut Bail Fund or @Maria-Altamura on Venmo.<\/p>\n
