Police officers rode alongside the group. Protesters marched to Westlake Center, creating delays on the express lanes and other traffic blockages.

At least one demonstrator said not all officers are looking for violence, but some are, and that needs to change, KIRO 7 reports.

Taylor was shot and killed by Seattle police on Sunday. Police say he reached for a gun. Because he was a felon, he was prohibited from possessing a gun.

On Tuesday night, the Associated Press identified the two officers who fired their weapons were identified Tuesday as Michael Spaulding and Scott Miller.
