About a dozen protesters were arrested when they staged a little gathering to sit around the Capitol building in Tallahassee, Florida and tried to block or crowd the entrance to Gov. Ron DeSantis' office because they don't like some of his political policies. Some of the protesters were ignored, stepped over, and even pushed out of the way. At some point police asked them to leave and most of them did, but the ones who thought they were cool tried to stay and ignore police commands. Those folks got arrested.
Tampa Bay Times reported on the protesters in Florida, saying the following:
The protest started at 1 p.m., with a few dozen protesters crowding the lobby of the governor’s office. They were broadly protesting DeSantis’ policies and his approach to governing. Around 7 p.m., Capitol police gave protesters a 20-minute warning to clear the building.
Most of the protesters left, but about a dozen stayed. They locked arms, sang and swayed as a line of police officers came to arrest them. They are now facing trespassing charges and a one-year ban from the Capitol, police said.
