DURHAM, N.C. (WTVD) -- Demonstrators took to downtown Durham Saturday night to march for police accountability and against racial injustice.

The demonstration started around 9 p.m.

The demonstrators marched down Main Street and headed toward the Durham Police Department.

Friday night, demonstrators gathered outside Durham City Hall in protest of Durham PD's mistaken-identity incident that led to officers drawing guns on three boys who were playing tag outside their home.
