About 50 people gathered outside the U.S. Attorney's office. Watch video
NEWARK -- A group of about 50 gathered outside the U.S. Attorney's office on Broad Street in Newark Wednesday night to rally against police brutality.
The People's Organization For Progress (POP) said it organized the gathering to raise awareness and seek justice for Abdul Kamal, Kashad Ashford, Jerame Reid, and Radazz Hearns -- who were all shot by police in New Jersey.
Kamal was unarmed when he was shot ten times and killed by Irvington police. Ashford was shot nine times in the head when he was killed by NJ State Police. In a dashcam video that went viral, Jerame Reid is seen getting out of a car without any weapon with his hands open and raised when he was shot to death by Bridgeton police.
Radazz Hearns, a 14 year-old boy, was shot seven times in the back and legs by police in Trenton. Hearns, who authorities said was charged with weapons offenses and aggravated assault, survived the shooting.

The group is demanding that the officers involved be "held accountable for their deaths." They also want the U.S. Attorney for New Jersey, Paul J. Fishman, to start an official investigation and bring civil rights charges against the officers involved in the shootings.
Fishman reached out to representatives of POP and promised a meeting with each of the four victim's families, POP members said.
"A meeting doesn't mean justice," said Lawrence Hamm, Chairman of POP.
"But it's a step in the right direction."
