Protests calling for changes in local government leadership and justice for Daniel Prude continued for a sixth consecutive night on Monday.

The demonstrations have been calling for change in the wake of the incident last March, when the 41-year-old Prude died after being restrained by police on Jefferson Avenue.

Circumstances surrounding his death came to light last week after bodycam video from police who were at the scene was released, and demonstrators have been calling for the resignations of the mayor and police chief, among other changes including defunding the police department and getting more funding for mental health and other services.
