@Regrann from @iamldaniels247 - HERO#Repost @1crownedsoldier with @repostapp・・・@Regrann from @freddyoart - #DeRayMcKesson, one of the most prominent activists associated with the police reform protest movement, is in police custody in #BatonRouge, where he traveled earlier Saturday to demonstrate in solidarity with residents angered by the recent death of Alton Sterling after an officer-involved shooting that was captured on video.McKesson was taken into custody around 11 p.m. in what two fellow activists who witnessed it described as a physically violent arrest. “The officers won’t give their names,” said Brittany Packnett, one of Mckesson’s co-founders of the group Campaign Zero, a prominent activist collective. “He was clearly targeted.” Packnett said McKesson was using his smartphone to live stream the ongoing protests when police began forcibly dispersing the crowds. As McKesson and a group of about eight people walked down the street an officer approached him and told him that he had been “flagged” and that if he left the sidewalk again he would be arrested.Moments later, she said, two officers forcefully arrested McKesson. “They tackled him, one officer hit the top of his body and another officer the bottom,” Packnett said.The altercation knocked the phone from Mckesson’s hand, ending his live broadcast of the demonstration, she said.Blurry video of the moments before McKesson was taken into custody provided to The Washington Post captures his verbal exchange with the officers. ****cont in comments #deraymckesson #staywoke #peacefulprotest #tackled #cops #pigs #injustice those who make a peaceful revolution impossible make a violent revolution inevitable #Repost @thenwhyareyouhere @theindustryonblast_ @iamderay 225-358-4009 call complain #Regrann #Regrann -- source link
