# Black Lives Matter Protesters March Through Downtown Mpls.

WCCO ^ | 4/29/15

On Facebook, Twin Cities organizers called on people who stand for social, economic and racial justice to peacefully rally with them.

“It’s imperative to understand when we lose a life to police, it affects all of us,” organizer Mica Grimm said. “Police are out to protect every single citizen, not just certain ones.”

This isn’t the first time this group has rallied together.

“Black Lives Matter” is the same organization that demonstrated inside Mall of America on Dec. 20, 2014 to protest the deaths of Michael Brown in Ferguson and Eric Garner in New York.

The protesters briefly shut down the mall on one of its busiest shopping days of the year.

Earlier in December, “Black Lives Matter” caused a closure of Interstate 35W just outside of downtown Minneapolis. Demonstrators marched up the interstate to Minneapolis City Hall.

H/T to the vigilant watch from our FRiend, Markomalley.

Now a third city is seeing "civil rights protests": Minneapolis.

For thus has the Lord said unto me:
“Go, set a watchman, Let him declare what he sees.”

[Isara]

Wow! Boston, New York, DC and now Minneapolis. Where next tonight?

[cripplecreek]

The usual places.

Still meaningless to the vast majority of Americans.

Thanks for posting this. Saved me a lot of work.

From the Channel 5 (Can I Get A Witness News) website...

“The group is calling upon Baltimore officials to conduct an investigation into the death of Freddie Gray after being hurt while in police custody.”

“The group is calling upon Baltimore officials to conduct an investigation into the death of Freddie Gray after being hurt while in police custody.”

They also demanded that South Africa free Nelson Mandela.

Black Lives Matter..except when black babies are being murdered at abortion clinics, that’s OK

[From The Deer Stand]

Black Lives Matter (but not in Chicago where Blacks are killing Blacks every week).

[cripplecreek]

I just sit back and watch a nice relaxing sunset.

Black lives matter, whites no, apparently to a lot of Black Americans (see FBI homicide numbers -- though outnumbered by at least 6-to-1 blacks murder whites by more than 2-to-1 it appears to me).

[CivilWarBrewing]

Freddie Gray had a fit of rage in the back of that van and raised his shackled legs in an attempt to kick the door and ended up falling off his bench and onto his head, breaking his own neck.

Oh wait, these protesters would never believe THAT but it is entirely plausible this is what happened. He inadvertently broke his own stinkin' neck!

[canuck_conservative]

Where next tonight?

Every city where the communists can co-opt a bleeding-heart government that's afraid to call out the cops.... doubt we'll be seeing too many marches in Texas or other Red states
