Protesters took hold of a Johns Hopkins University town hall Thursday evening, demonstrating opposition to the planned introduction of a private armed police force.
Hopkins hosted its first town hall for the community to give feedback on the draft memorandum of understanding between the university and Baltimore Police. The event at Shriver Hall was moved to an online-only format after a crowd of chanting protesters took over the meeting stage and followed Hopkins police leader Branville Bard Jr. out of the building, off campus and ultimately to a fenced-in Hopkins campus safety and security building.
