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.
If the so called victim fire five shots at the car the guy will walk!!!
***infantalizing warnings like theyre talking to a 4 year old child.***
We oldsters still remember the 1940s and 1950s when walking the gauntlet of TRUE CRIME, blood and guts magazines, Inquirer tabloids loaded with photos of train, hitchhiker, mob, robbery victims every time we went to the checkout stand at the grocery store.
We were well acquainted with death by the time we were ten years old.
I notice the cops come rushing in after the fact....
no need to protect the people before violence happens.....
Nah. Their Horst Wessel was Floyd. He was the perfect corpse to be paraded across the country and buried in a gold coffin. This nitwit, not so much since he shot first.
p
Yep. Too bad they didn’t ask for his blood. So they could dip their BLM flags in it yearly.
The last one sounded different and I think was the one and only fatal shot by the car occupant,
You can bet that he will be prosecuted. And you can make book on that the media will portray him in the worst light possible. As demonstrated by referring to the attacker as a “victim”. Anyone still believe that the Police and the media are on our side?
BMA ... Sorry, please decipher.
BMA... Buy More Ammo... if you can find it
What you said.
Who could Forget,
Yowza!
I like it!
The entire rioting mob of leftists, along with the collaborating Austin mayor and city council, should have been arrested and charged with first degree murder using the felony murder rule, just as any surviving home burglars are charged with murder when their fellow armed burglar is killed in a shootout with the homeowner defending his family.
I wonder if the police know about this tactic.
Swarm until the spam ends
“One photo shows the perp pointing his rifle at the car.”
I’m glad to hear about that. And hopefully this being Texas and not Missouri the driver defending himself won’t have much of a hassle. If the protestor was just carrying a gun slung upside-down on his shoulder that is a whole ‘nother matter.
Spare us the limpid screeds please.
Or the brains.
