About 100 people rallied and marched in Edina on Saturday to protest police brutality, blocking the busy intersection at 50th and France for about 40 minutes.
The gathering, organized around the theme of "I Am a Man," was held to address the issues of racial profiling and police violence against black men, including fatal police shootings of Jamar Clark and Philando Castile.
Its initial inspiration was last week's encounter between a black pedestrian and a plainclothes Edina police officer, part of which was caught on camera.
Black men were invited to stand together on the steps of City Hall, where speakers challenged the police's account of the incident and the way they interact with black residents.

"I Am A Man" will now take the place of BLM.
Just so you know, there isn’t a more lily-white suburb anywhere on earth than Edina, MN. But there are a lot of good brainwashed libs there too, so I’m sure they felt flattered that they were being splattered with the guilty brush. Something to talk about with the girls at the salon on Monday.
I work in Edina.

Sounds like a good start. Now, if you're really a man, prove it: Get off drugs, take a shower, get a job, give thanks to God you're still breathing, and keep your hands off other people's s***.
I thought one wasn’t supposed to use the term “man “.
Nice analogy.
They’ll fix it, sooner or later.
BTW, according to today’s Minneapolis Star-Tribune (a huge lib gag) the officer in the Jamal Clarke incident was cleared of any wrongdoing. But obviously that doesn’t mean anything to these protesters. Just like with Trayvon Martin, Ferguson, etc. Alinsky said to “rub the sore raw.” It’s what Obama and the other Dem agitators do best.
Their masters have put the kibosh on these demonstrations until Hillary is elected and gives everyone everything they want.
Don’t want Caucasians worried.
Edina is in Minnesooota and doesn’t matter.
this is what they do for a living all over the state. Pretend to be relevant
Say, if ya don’t do anything wrong, the cops’ll leave ya alone. But if ya steal or run yer yap baiting them, that’s another story entirely. But these reverse racists just can’t leave well enough alone—they wouldn’t have anything to cry about if they did...the idiots!
I lived there for ten years. Put three kids through the cakeater school system. Listened to endless blather from over-coiffed former cheerleaders about how some of their best friends were queer or moslem. Made me want to puke.
So now I have two daughters who are so sick of the bland insularity they’ve decided to “change the world.”. And one son who is an Air Force TACP candidate. And I moved last summer.
Off topic I know but we are supposed to call it Climate Disruption.
Just so we are all clear on this. :-)
