An 11-year-old confronted police violence and a protest movement right outside his Minneapolis home.Tyson LaBlanche wanted to become a police officer. “But then once people started dying around me that had been killed by the police,” he said, “I kind of lost that.”
As thousands of protesters gathered at East 38th Street and Chicago Avenue in late May and early June, Tyson rode his scooter among them. He watched as they transformed the entire square into a memorial. He listened as they passed around a megaphone, giving speeches from morning until night. He paused and knelt to touch flowers left on the street, scattered over block letters spelling Floyd’s name, and the names of other people killed by police officers.
Standing with Tyson in June outside Cup Foods, the corner store where they used to buy Hershey’s bars and chicken tenders, Jamie gestured at the makeshift memorial full of bouquets of flowers, candles and signs. Tyson and Jamie bore witness to the mass movement against police brutality and racial inequality as it unfurled in the heart of Minneapolis. Jamie has spent the past nine months grappling with teaching Tyson, the oldest of his three children, the importance of this historic moment while also protecting him.

Amazing story
Choices are made on a daily basis good and bad by every color. When you perpetuate a situation/confrontation before it occurs it instills fear or anger. This promotes confrontation. I have experienced both brutality and racism.....I could have handled both better to deescalate..

Killed from a drug overdose.
This guy put a knife to a pregnant woman.
As I understand now - from 2020-05-25 not a single person was killed by police during an arrest or in police custody in the USA. Especially black/minority people. A great achievement by authorities and the society of the USA, especially during an election campaign. Well done!
Don’t you mean RIOTS & LOOTING!
Gotta hype up a crack head loser resisting arrest dying.. I mean George Floyd.
What he saw was probably this:
HE WAS KILLED BY THE POLICE why you have to mention neighborhood?
My 10 yr old watched BLM burn cities to the ground over a drug addicted felon.
Police love killing kids.
