Group stages 'die-in' in front of NOPD headquarters

A group of about 45 people participated in a "die-in" protest Friday afternoon (July 8) in front of the New Orleans Police Department headquarters.

The protest, coming at the end of a week that saw two high-profile police shootings and the deaths of five Dallas police officers, was intended to stress the importance of life, said organizer Yamil Rodriquez. Rodriquez is an arts teacher with Community Works, which conducts an after-school program with International School of Louisiana.

"This is a gathering to celebrate life, honor life, and show the stark difference between life and lack of life," Rodriquez said.

With the sound of a clap, to represent a gunshot, those participating fell to the ground and stayed there about about 20 minutes while about a dozen supporters looked on.

Rodriquez encouraged the group to attend a demonstration planned for Lee Circle later in the evening.

"We've got to figure out ways for police to have dialogue with citizens," he said.

Organizers and several participants stressed the need for peace while calling for concrete change in how law enforcement interacts with the communities they police.

"I feel very strongly that that's (peace) the only thing that will help us move forward as humans," Rodriguez told the crowd.

Mom and Pop’s basements around the country have to be lonely places these days with all of this “protesting” going on. LOL!

Hey, these guys need a way to meet chicks somehow.

Why didn’t an equal number of cops lay down and pretend to be dead with them? I mean, if we’re going to play the childs game of pretend.

They were paid to do this... Although I think that guy in the bottom pic in the black and white shirt, probably fell asleep there after a hefty meal.

Hysterical. They look like a lot of white tourist victims do in New Orleans! As if bodies on the street arent a daily occurence! If they stage their next protest at night they wont have to pretend to be dead! Morons.

Reminds me of Jim Jones’ koolaid drinkers

The part of the story always omitted about the Jones massacre was that Jones and his followers were all hard-core communists.

At least with a die-in, these clowns aren't hurting people or destroying property.

It’s surprising to me how 99.9% of the BLM “protesters” are little, honky snowflakes.

Yep. There's no shortage of stupid / brainwashed white people.

He had a lot of help from fellow travelers

From Wiki:

After the Temple mobilized volunteers and voters instrumental in George Moscone’s narrow election victory in 1975, Moscone appointed Jones as Chairman of the San Francisco Housing Authority Commission. Jones and the Temple received the support of, among others, Governor Jerry Brown, Lieutenant Governor Mervyn Dymally, Assemblyman Willie Brown, San Francisco mayor George Moscone, Art Agnos, and Harvey Milk. Willie Brown visited the Temple many times and spoke publicly in support of Jones, even after investigations and suspicions of cult activity

Looks like 3-4 BLM among a sea of crackers.

Do that in Texas and they’ll all get cooked like a fried egg on the hot cement.

Same with the crowds of protesters at the malls scaring little kids at Christmas time. 99% white folk.
