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.
Yes but they shoot pellets, not bullets and this one was not shooting pellets. There were five shots from an AK then three shots from a hand gun.
Somebody should go bleed their heart somewhere else.
Hah!
That video is awesome.
Little b*tch filming it on his cell phone runs and hides when he hears some rounds pop off.
Someone else said it here - play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
Clueless rich white liberal youth morons marching around pretending to be down with the cause.
Lite aint like that, snowflakes.
Well some of us have long been sick of the creeping foulness in this forum.
So yeah, some of us dont like it, and we know that children could be seeing it.
I dont like foul language (though shamefully I use it...when angry, not as common speech); it is hostile talk. Fighin words. Thats why it is bad. It creates a hostile environment.
This is the first time on TV children are subjected not just to violence, but foul language everywhere including on signs, etc, from these scum. We dont need more.
What are more details to the story? One of the protestors threatened the driver with a weapon? Need more info.
The f’ing cops only show up when shots are fired. Where were they to chase these little bastards off the street in the first place?
“This is the first time on TV children are subjected not just to violence, but foul language everywhere including on signs, etc, from these scum. We dont need more.”
Well, knowing that as an adult parent, turn the damn thing off. And as for this article, how many kids are going to read it that they need to be warned?
It’s just another part of infantalizing the whole population .
AK47-guy fired five shots and the guy who killed him returned the favor.
White girl scream a lot.
Look at the bright side: If the police had acted sooner, foster would still be alive.
Infantile.
Being decent and moral with self-control (for Gods sake, to take the time to type it?) is infantile.
Meanwhile, this whole grown-up culture has made things so much better.
White girl scream a lot.

BLM fat white girl scream a lot.
FR is changing rapidly and not for the best, imo. But in
life things change as time progresses. Yes the spam site
posters have found a way to get clicks to their site. So
be it. Can’t blame them as they’ve found a way to get
clicks to their site. Clicks means money for them.
Everyone who carries simply must have self defense insurance. ESPECIALLY in librat run areas.

“I heard 8 shots, but I couldn’t see what happened in the video.”
other accounts say that the BLM guy fired the AK first ...
claims that the AK guy shot first ...
