The streets around Jamestown City Hall were empty Monday, after dozens of protesters walked the perimeter Sunday evening without violence.

"We are very pleased with that and with the outcomes," said Robert Samuelson, Jamestown Police captain.

The protest was one of several across Western New York and the nation in response to the death of George Floyd.

Jamestown Police say while the night was relatively peaceful, officers did arrest two men, one from Ashville, the other from Russell, Pennsylvania. 

"There was a dispute then a fight amongst a couple of the protesters, and two of them were taken into custody and charged with disorderly conduct and a weapons possession as they did possess a jackknife," said Samuelson.

"Monday morning, incredible to think that our residents peacefully protested. Very grateful that our residents made their point, got their message across and didn't really have to damage anything in order to do so," said Edward Sundquist, (D) Jamestown mayor.

Sundquist and police were on-hand for a Sunday afternoon protest at Dow Park.

Sundquist says he promised to find ways to make Jamestown more diverse and better in-tune with what's going on in the community. 

"I think we're still trying to figure that out. To start a dialogue, to come together and to start to work towards change. And now is the time for us to take some action," said Sundquist.

Sundquist says that could include the return of the city's human rights commission, to help the community heal and move forward.

"To start to create a working group of individuals just to help make the city more inclusive. To start to look at what things can we do better," said Sundquist.

Both men arrested were released from jail and are due back in city court.
