The protest began peacefully earlier in the afternoon, with thousands of people taking to the iconic Art Museum stairs. “What do we want? Justice. When do we want it? Now.” demonstrators chanted, according to theIn Ohio's capital, local representatives, including Rep. Joyce Beatty, a 70-year-old black woman who has served in Congress since 2013, and the City Council president were pepper sprayed during a rally on Saturday morning.

Rapper Killer Mike addresses Atlanta protestersKiller Mike made an emotional plea for calm Friday night as a protest in Atlanta against police brutality turned violent. Ironic that his name is 'Killer' and he wants protests to end I see you didn't lead (or mention?) his point that CNN (YOU GUYS) share huge responsibility for inciting AntiFa riots with your FakeNews, race-baiting and fear mongering.

Perspective | This is why Colin Kaepernick took a kneeThe NFL ostracized the quarterback for his protests against police brutality. It's more clear than ever what a terrible decision that was. Sally Jenkins is one of the great journalists out there. Every word of this is true. Hmmm in 5 yrs you found one obvious abuse were outright wrong on so many but you would swear 10 blacks a day get killed. Gross exaggeration. Being white my chances of being killed by cops is almost double that of a Blackman. No he didn’t Sally. Karpernick is a racist at heart. He was acting out for attention.
