Stillwater Chief of Police Jeff Watts stands among citizens at the Justice for George Floyd peaceful demonstration in front of city hall on June 3, 2020. The City closed the 700 block of south Lewis street and the east half of the parking lot across from city hall to accommodate participants.

The city and the police department stand with the organizers of this demonstration in their call to ensure that everyone is treated equally by police officers and that rogue police officers are held accountable for their actions.
