Protesters marched the same streets and chanted the same slogans as they did this summer. The demonstrations were peaceful, but the mood was somber and somehow more focused.

Goodson, a Black man, was shot on the stoop of his home Dec. 4 by white Deputy Jason Meade. Meade claims Goodson pulled a gun on him first and he ordered him to drop it before firing. Goodson's family disputes the claim and says he had a concealed carry permit. Meade was not wearing a body camera and police have said there were no eyewitnesses. Columbus police and federal authorites have opened separate investigations."Protesters marched the same streets and chanted the same slogans as they did this summer.
