The NYPD told The Huffington Post that, as of the official end of the march, no arrests had been made. Ron Davis, whose son Jordan was shot dead by a man in Florida after an argument over loud music, was at the head of the march. We have to make everybody accountable, Davis told HuffPost. You can’t continue to see videos of chokeholds, videos of kids getting shot in the back, and say it’s all right.

Michael Dunn, the man who killed Jordan, was convicted of first-degree murder and sentenced to life without parole in October. Davis said Saturday that Dunns conviction proves its possible that justice can be served in racially charged cases. We ended up getting a historic movement in Jacksonville, Davis said. We had an almost all-white jury, with seven white men, convict a white man for shooting down an unarmed boy of color. huffingtonpost/2014/12/13/millions-march-nyc_n_6320348.html?ncid=fcbklnkushpmg00000047
