Wednesday night brought some 300 people in front of City Hall carrying signs demanding change in how Las Vegas police do their job.
It was the sixth straight night of protests and gatherings. This one was set up to create some kind of dialogue between police and protesters. No officers showed up in riot gear. Protester stood with police, sharing a megaphone as they tried to answer questions from the crowd
We talked to young, old and in between about why they were there, what they felt and whether they think anything will ever change.
What we found was a firm belief that change will happen.
