A couple in New York was caught on camera pointing their guns at Black Lives Matter demonstrators as they marched through their neighborhood. The activists are calling on the police to charge the couple.
According to WNYT-TV, protestors were coming close to the end of their route when a white man came out of his home and tried to provoke them. He then called on his wife to get his gun.
Hudson Mayor Kamal Johnson, who took part in the march, said the woman came back outside and started waving the gun around.
According to the report, police officers who were looking over the protest put the couple inside a patrol car, but Johnson wondered why they weren’t handcuffed.

Johnson asked an officer why the couple wasn’t being charged, but he said the officer refused to answer and did not say whether the gun was illegal.
According to the report, police said they are investigating the incident.
“We had several, several protesters who pressed charges for the menacing that they went through,” said activist Lukee Forbes. “We also had several videos and pictures delivered to the police officers, and yet they tell us that they’re still doing an investigation.”
