Leaders of Black Lives Matter condemn violence in Dallas

First Alton Sterling, a black man selling CDs outside of a convenient store in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, was tackled, shot, and killed by police officers there on Tuesday. Johnson told police during a standoff that he was angry “with white people” and wanted to kill white officers, according to Dallas police, who said he specifically mentioned the Black Lives Matter movement.

“All those protesters last night, they ran the other way expecting the men and women in blue to turn around and protect them”, Patrick said during an interview with Fox News on Friday.

London’s Metropolitan Police declined to comment on the march in Brixton, south London, or give any information about the number of officers deployed.

Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani on Sunday said when people use the phrase “black lives matter”, it’s “inherently racist”.

On Wednesday, Castile was fatally shot by an officer while in his auto in Minnesota.

There are unconfirmed reports that one or more Dallas police officers were struck.

The confusion flows in part from the decentralized structure of the Black Lives Matter organization and its founders’ desire that it remain open and inclusive. Rev. Jesse Jackson, who had called Sterling’s death a “legal lynching”, described the Dallas killings as a “terrorist attack”. His family reacted with fury to the finding.

Vincent Lee, 37, and his partner Jessica Osibona, said they came to the march as a mark of solidarity of the events in the U.S. over the past week. “We’ve had enough of their nonsense”, the sheriff said emphatically.

Dejesus said he suspected the gunman was wearing body armour, armed with what “looked like an AR-15 assault rifle, and had so many magazines they were “falling out of his pockets”. “We can’t really focus on whether people are going to cast us as at hate group when we are working to dismantle hate”. The brutal and tragic deaths of the police officers killed in Dallas Thursday night don’t justify or erase the deaths of untold numbers of unarmed black men at the hands of police, just as their deaths do not justify or erase the murder of police officers. The station posted video of Carter being arrested on social media.

In Minnesota, Mike Martin, who wore a guitar on his back and said he was trying to promote peace, was pepper sprayed by a police officer on a pedestrian bridge overlooking the interstate.

Allan De Laurell who was visiting Waco attended the event because he said he doesn’t want the black community to be treated unfairly.
