The protests continue two months from the day of George Floyds killing.
Floyd died on May 25 in Minneapolis after a white cop pressed his knee against his neck for nearly eight minutes as he said he couldnt breathe.
A BLACK Lives Matter protester was shot dead last night during a march in Austin, Texas.
Police in Texas confirmed a man was shot and killed at 9:52pm last night during a protest in downtown Austin.
A clip of the scene shared online show protesters marching through the streets and shouting Black lives and waving banners reading BLM.
Seconds later, five shots are fired and the video loses focus as protesters scream and run for cover. Video below: Warning: The video below contains graphic images and language.

Medics performed CPR on the victim, but he later died at Dell Seton Medical Center, officials said. Police are investigating the incident as a homicide. The suspected shooter is cooperating with officials, police said.
No other injuries were reported. Police did not release the names of the victim or the suspect.
Officer Katrina Ratcliff said in a press conference late last night that the person who shot and killed the man had fired from inside the vehicle.
The police found a man with a gunshot wound, who was taken to a local hospital and pronounced dead, Austin senior Police Officer Katrina Ratcliff said. No one else was injured. Initial reports indicated the victim may have been carrying a rifle and approached the suspects vehicle.
The suspect was detained and is cooperating and there is no longer a threat to the public. Ratcliff did not take any questions and said it was very early in an active investigation.
That's not a "victim" that's a "perpetrator".
“I was in fear for my life”. Repeat as necessary. And say nothing further except under advice of counsel.
Someone posted a picture of the guy who was killed slinging an AK-47.
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
The man in the car had the right to defend himself. The man who came at him with a rifle lost his right to live.
Obviously he will be given the full treatment of a corrupt democrat administration. I hope he is not prosecuted.
I hope that the patriot doesn't get railroaded.

I can’t believe even a so called conservatives site feels the need to put in these insipid, infantalizing warnings like they’re talking to a 4 year old child.
And on top of that there is no violence to be seen in the video!
Sixth request to you...
Please post the direct video links so we don’t have to click on YOUR click bait website,loaded with ad bloat.
THANK YOU
...with you using FR as a spam bait, I sure hope you donate here to fund this site as you freely manipulate it to your own profit.
Stupid violent LARPers suddenly get a dose of real life / real consequences. Surprise, mf-ers. There’s more to come.

Ping for later viewing.

Listen to them scream like little babies. Attention anarchists: Our gun racks are real. And they’re SPECTACULAR
Perp was interviewed shortly before, complaining that the right to march in streets had been revoked so hed exercise some other right: RKBA. Seemed mostly a prop to him.
Latter a mob swarmed an intersection. One car did a legit right on red, only to find the crosswalk illegally occupied by jaywalkers. Driver stopped, mob began swarming the car. One photo shows the perp pointing his rifle at the car. On audio recording we hear 5 rapid shots, likely the perp - followed by 3 different rapid shots, likely perp being killed. Everyone runs away.
“Initial reports indicated the ‘victim’ may have been carrying a rifle and approached the suspects vehicle. “
Victim, get that?
Amazing how quickly the street cleared When the shooting started.
I see what you did there.
LOL
we have a shotgun that goes off like a canon. Told hubs not to waste ammo other than on anarchists.
“Our gun racks are real. And theyre SPECTACULAR”
LOL! I love that reference to Seinfeld. :) Terri, what, Hatcher? Can’t remember her last name. She was and probably still is, gorgeous.
So the riot guy approached the man’s car with a rifle in his hand? Well, he deserved what he got.
As they say, “Don’t mess with Texas”
