Signs being held by protesters read: "is it open season on blackfellas?", "what is a taser for? RIP Joyce", and "black lives matter", and when police attempted to speak to organisers, protesters repeatedly yelled questions about the circumstances of Ms Clarke's death."If she had a knife, Taser her.
