Bridgeport city council members will meet with protesters who are camped out in front of police headquarters for a fourth day in honor of a teen fatally shot by police in 2017.

Organizers say city council members are going to meet with them on Thursday at 5:30 p.m.

The demonstration in front of the police department began over the weekend in honor of Jayson Negron, the Bridgeport teen fatally shot by an officer on Fairfield Avenue after backing a stolen vehicle into a police officer following a chase with law enforcement in 2017, according to Waterbury state's attorney.

The Bridgeport officer who fatally shot Negron was cleared of any criminal wrongdoing.

However, the group of protesters who set up more than 20 tents outside the police department say they are demanding the officer who killed Negron be fired, among a number of other demands, including defunding the police department.

Demonstrators initially told News 12 they were going to stay camped out at the police headquarters until they met with the City Council on June 23.

Council members say they will now meet with protesters on Thursday at a location that has yet to be determined.

Protesters say they will stay camped outside the police station until the meeting.

There has been a public outcry for police reform across the nation following the police-involved death of George Floyd which has sparked global protests against police.

Connecticut Gov. Ned Lamont announced Monday that he is instituting a no chokehold policy for state police and is hoping local municipalities follow suit.

He says most, if not all, police officers will be required to wear body cams.

Lamont added he wants police to have nothing to hide and wants a four-day release on body cam videos.

Lamont says it is police officers’ "legal requirement" to stop police brutality if they see it.

"We're directing our state police to make sure they have a community liaison officer in each and every one of their troops, build off of that, make sure we have those relationships with the community going forward. Make sure we build up that trust and earn your trust every day, because that's what good policing is all about," Lamont says.

The governor also says he wants a police force that represents the diversity of the state and that starts with recruiting.
