The Backlash Turns Violent
The shooting of protesters in Minneapolis is part of a backlash attempting to quiet the movement against police brutality.
Tonight, white supremacists attacked the #4thPrecinctShutDown in an act of domestic terrorism.”
That was how Black Lives Matter Minneapolis described the shooting of five unarmed African-American protesters by a group of at least three men outside of a Minneapolis police station Monday evening.
Activists have been holding a running protest outside of the Minneapolis Police Department’s 4th Precinct since November 15, when twenty-four-year-old Jamar Clark was shot by police.
