TAMPA, Fla. – More than five dozen peaceful protesters in Florida who were arrested earlier this month for unlawful assembly while demonstrating against police abuse following the death of George Floyd in Minnesota won't be prosecuted, a state attorney said Monday.State Attorney Andrew Warren in Tampa said his office won't be filing charges against 67 protesters who were arrested two weeks ago in downtown Tampa.
The prosecutor's office will also work to expunge the arrest records of the protesters who were taken into custody, he said.“In these unlawful assembly cases, there is no value in filing charges," Warren said at a news conference.
