“Police recently arrested demonstrators who staged a sit-in at Sen. Jeff Sessions’ office in Mobile, Alabama. Video posted online by Alabama political reporter Lee Hedgepeth showed police confronting the protesters inside Sessions’ office and the protesters’ peaceful surrender.
In the video, NAACP President Cornell William Brooks can be seen shaking hands with the police officers and telling them that the demonstrators were aware of trespassing laws and were engaging in a voluntary act of “civil disobedience.” The protesters at one point kneeled and prayed while police officers stood in front of them.”*
