said it was exploring all legal options to hold the Omaha Police Department accountable for any civil rights violations that may have occurred at Saturday’s protest. Saying the police “knew what they were doing,” they also accused the OPD of defying state policy by detaining so many protesters en mass on Saturday rather than issuing citations.
in connection to Scurlock’s death. Amid a public backlash, Kleine ultimately agreed to allow a grand jury to review the case and a special prosecutor has since been appointed. In the meantime, protests have continued throughout Omaha, with Scurlock becoming a local symbol for the kind of ingrained racism of the criminal justice system.
“We are calling on all abolitionists, youth or non-youth, to coordinate mass protests on July 25th to show the world that the fire of this uprising is still burning strong, and that flames will just keep getting bigger until the police state has been dismantled once and for all,” Alexander wrote. Activist Jordan Corbin, who was among those arrested Saturday, told Yahoo News that while some protesters gave police the middle finger, or chanted things like “All cops are bastards,” he felt like there was actually a sense of understanding between the protesters who were voicing their anger and frustration at the system and the officers who he perceived to be escorting the group along their route.There was no confrontation between us and the police,” said Corbin.
Exactly what happened next — and why — is in dispute. According to Wilson, Corbin and several others who posted similar accounts to social media, the protesters continued to march peacefully through the streets back toward where the demonstration began, in the Midtown section of Omaha. Wilson said that the police appeared to continue escorting the group, just as they had done on the way downtown, blocking oncoming traffic as the protesters marched through the streets.
Wilson said the officers “got very aggressive very quickly,” tackling protests and firing more pepper balls into the crowd. One of the first to get hit was Mark Vondrasek, a progressive candidate for the Nebraska state legislature, who was riding his bike at the front of the crowd., Vondrasek, whose bio identifies him as a registered Democrat and progressive socialist, accused the OPD of forcing the protesters into an enclosed environment in order to arrest them en masse.

Jeep drives through crowd of Black Lives Matter protesters in ColoradoIn Aurora, Colo., a blue Jeep drove into a crowd of Black Lives Matter protesters on the interstate, sending people scrambling. One demonstrator fired a weapon in response, grazing one person. The protest called for justice for 23-year-old Elijah McClain, a Black man who died last year in police custody. I feel like MSNBC encourages these protests throughout the day. It probably doesn’t make much difference I guess. But they’re making it hard for dem politicians in cities to take stand. At least mayor Lightfoot did. Good for her. Destruction, fires, violence is not ok So this is news now? A car driving on a road? fakenews FakeNewsMedia
