Eleven "Moral Monday" demonstrators are released outside the State Capitol after police issued them citations for trespassing after the demonstrators staged a sit-in Monday, June 2, 2014, after trying unsuccessfully to reach Gov. Pat McCrory. A group of people concerned about the environment and health-care issues had brought a six-paragraph letter for the governor Monday afternoon. McCrory was not inside the capitol, which typically closes at 5 p.m. At 10 minutes after the hour, State Capitol Police asked several dozen people still inside to leave. Eleven remained on the first floor of the building; police had issued citations to all by about 7:15 p.m. After police gave out the citations and those who took part in the sit-in had left the building, nearly 200 supporters gathered near the capitol to continue with the "Moral Monday" protest.
