The "protesters demanded equal respect for Mixon, who they said was a victim of what they called a broken prison system and a generally racist society. Family and friends of Mixon said he probably opened fire on the officers because he feared returning to prison."
About 60 people marched and rallied in Oakland on Wednesday to condemn the police and honor Lovelle Mixon, who was killed by Oakland police after he fatally shot four officers Saturday.
Asked about police allegations that Mixon was suspected in several rapes, including that of a 12-year-old girl, marcher Mandingo Hayes said, "He wasn't a rapist. I don't believe that."
