Dozens of cities across the US have seen a national day of protest against police brutality. Organizers stated that thousands of people were killed in crackdowns over the last couple of decades, and police aren’t held accountable for the violence.
All across the US people united to protest police violence in rallies. While some protests were peaceful, others saw violent clashes with police.
The demonstrators in Seattle burned flags, and the police had to disperse fights between the protesters and the anarchists who seemed to have taken advantage of the situation.
In Los Angeles, an angry mob stopped traffic across the city as part of the protest.
New York saw a largely peaceful rally, though activists expressed their outrage at continuing police violence.
“It’s not a gentle thing how they treat us, they treat us like animals, and that’s completely unwarranted, literally, unwarranted,” a young protester told RT.
Organizers have documented cases of what they call the Stolen Lives project: over the past decades, thousands of lives have been blighted and destroyed in protests brutally suppressed by police.
