Black Lives Matter, Counter-Protesters Brought Together

The All Souls Unitarian Church sign, previously reading “Praying for Dallas Black Lives Matter”, was changed to spell out a racial slur.

“As far as I am concerned, it’s open season on African American men because they are not even given a chance to even prove themselves”, he said about the recent shootings of black men by white police officers in Louisiana and Minnesota.

Alicia Garza, a co-founder of the official Black Lives Matter group, responded directly to Giuliani’s remarks Monday during an appearance on MSNBC. El Paso County Sheriff Richard Wiles, who is white, said he disagreed with Chief Allen’s characterization of the Black Lives Matter movement, which regularly protests against police brutality.

“He actually presided over one of the most discredited areas and periods of policing in the City of NY”, she said, “which is, in fact, responsible for a lot of the tension that exists between police officers and people in African-American communities”.

The deaths of five white police officers in an ambush resulting from the growing discord between African-Americans and police is raising concerns for the entire nation.

Black Lives Matter was created in 2012 after George Zimmerman was acquitted for Trayvon Martin’s death.

Britny Morrison was one of the Black Lives Matter protest organizers July 10. We’ve taken that position from the get-go and we have never wavered from it, and we won’t now.

“People are against the feeling that something could happen to me and no one is punished”.

Droves of people were marching down the city’s most prominent shopping district.
