Black Lives Matter activists organize Manchester march

Rally organizer Ghionawit Tamir, a Concordia University student, emphasized that she and other organizers are not affiliated with the Black Lives Matter organization. Chief Sauschuck said there is a subcommittee that has been around for about 15 years.

A second rally in solidarity with the Black Lives Matter movement in the United States was held in downtown Montreal’s Cabot Square Saturday afternoon. “Personally, I don’t care what the color of your skin is, I never have”.

Salma Hassan, another event organizer, also responded to Sauschuck’s comments.

When Rudy Giuliani blamed Black Lives Matter on Face TheNation over the weekend, it was largely seen as the former mayor not being specific to whether it was the phrasing or the group, but likely it was both.

At the beginning of the video, Rudy Giuliani was asked about Newt Gingrich’s statement about white Americans not seeing the plight of blacks, as reported by The Statesman, which Giuliani responded to, saying that we would have to look at race differently in America, as we’ve been looking at it the same way for too long. “Especially for people who are not necessarily black”.

“This group of volunteer civilians and citizens that live right here in the city of Portland have an opportunity to review every external and internal affairs complaint”. They pushed against the vehicle as it tried to drive down the street.

The US movement’s push across the Pacific Ocean was sparked by the recent police shootings of Alton Sterling and Philando Castile in Louisiana and Minnesota respectively.

“With an open heart, police departments will acknowledge that, just like the rest of us, they are not flawless; that insisting we do better to root out racial bias is not an attack on cops, but an effort to live up to our highest ideals”, the president said at the ceremony.

The protesters also want police to wear body cameras while on duty.
