Protesters in Kansas City, Missouri, are calling for the firing of a police officer who pressed his knee into the back of a pregnant Black woman during a Sept. 30 arrest that was captured on video. 

Protesters also want Kansas City Police chief Rick Smith fired and are calling for the city to redirect 50% of the police department’s budget to programs that support the Black community. They’ve vowed to not leave the demonstration outside city hall until both men, who are white, are fired.
