Who are the “protestors” and what are they “protesting”?

[Jet Jaguar]

It was a Black Lives Matter protest in response to the police shooting and killing two black persons in separate incidents in Minnesota and Louisiana.

Protests are over Hillary getting off.

Okay, not really. Protests are over the two police-shoot-civilian incidents that have been prominent in the news. One in Louisiana, one in Minneapolis. The Minneapolis shooting has some fairly incendiary live phone/Youtube coverage, which has occupied an inordinate amount of press time.
