Practice English Speaking&Listening with: Newton Police Investigating Driver That Allegedly Went Through Protests

NOW AT 5:00, TEENAGERS WHO

WERE PART OF A BLACK

LIVES MATTERS SAY A MAN DROVE

INTO A CROWD.

THEY ARE TRYING TO CHARGE THE

MAN WITH THE CRIME.

WBZ IS LIVE WITH THE CRIME IN

NEWTON.

BETH?

Reporter: DEMONSTRATION TOOK

PLACE IN THE CIRCLE

OUTSIDE NEWTON CITY HALL.

PROTESTORS SAY IF THIS

INDIVIDUAL

DIDN'T AGREE WITH THEIR MESSAGE,

HE COULD HAVE EXERCISED HIS

FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHTS AND LEFT

PEACEFULLY.

INSTEAD, ACTIONS

SPOKE LOUDER THAN WORDS.

I HEAR THE HORN IN THE VIDEO

AND I STILL GET JUMPY.

Reporter: IT WAS A WARNING OF

WHAT WAS TO COME AS A

GROUP OF MOSTLY TEENAGE

PROTESTORS TOOK TO THE STEPS

BUT BARELY A MINUTE INTO THE

DEMONSTRATION,

PROTESTORS SAY CAPTURED A MAN

WHO JUST LEFT CITY HALL

Reporter: BUT HE JUMPED IN A

PROTESTORS, WE WANT HIM CHARGED.

Reporter: AND WHILE NO ONE

WAS INJURED, PROTESTORS

SAY IT CAME CLOSER THAN THE

VIDEO SHOWS, AND THEY HOPE THESE

PHOTOS WILL HELP POLICE IDENTIFY

HIM.

ALL THIS THEY SAY AS YOUNG

BLACK SPEAKERS WERE TELLING

THEIR PERSONAL STORIES, A

MESSAGE

THEY BELIEVE HAS BEEN

OVERSHADOWED BY SOMEONE RACIALLY

INSENSITIVE.

I CAN'T UNDERSTAND WHAT COULD

GET YOU TO THE POINT

WHERE YOU WOULD WANT TO

INTENTIONALLY TRY AND HURT

PEOPLE,

ESPECIALLY CHILDREN, WHEN WE'RE

AT A PEACEFUL PROTEST AND WE'RE

TRYING TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE.

Reporter: NO WORD YET FROM

POLICE IF CHARGES WILL

BE FILED, BUT THESE YOUNG

PROTESTORS SAY THEY WON'T BE

INTIMIDATED AND THEY ARE

CIRCULATING A PETITION TO HAVE
