Over the weekend, Black Lives Matter protestors shut down I-94 in St. Paul for about five hours to protest the death of Philando Castile, who was shot by a police officer. During the protest, 27 cops were injured after people threw molotov cocktails, fireworks, and rocks at the officers. One officer suffered a spinal fracture after a concrete block landed on his head.

One hundred and two people were arrested throughout the night.
Images of fireworks being thrown at police went viral as people expressed their disbelief.

Meanwhile, Castile's family disavowed the protestors, saying that was not how they wanted Philando to be remembered.
“On behalf of myself and our entire family, we urge all people to remain peaceful in all demonstrations throughout our community and our nation. When demonstrations become violent, it disrespects my son and his memory. Philando was a man of peace and dignity. Please, I ask you to at all times remain peaceful in your expressions of concern regarding his death at the hands of the police. I promise that we will not rest until justice prevails,” said Valerie Castile, mother of Philando Castile, in a statement Sunday.
What's WRONG with them is they're a hate group calling for police officers to be murdered.
Let's SWITCH IT - SEE HOW IT LOOKS WITH THE SHOE ON THE OTHER FOOT: How would the Washington Post deal with a bunch of KKK types 'marching' calling for 'dead Niggers' (rather than dead pigs) Then some KKK nut does 'the sniper bit' and murders a bunch of blacks...
Would the effing press SEE THE GROUP FOR WHAT IT REALLY WAS IF IT WAS IN 'WHITE DRAG'? YOU BETCHA they would. AND CNN and Chris Matthews? They would NOT invite members of A KKK hate group to 'talk' on their shows.
Black Lives Matter is a hate group. Paid for and funded by wealth billionaire WHITE guys getting off on misery and control of the 'black community',
It's about the money - BLM is owned by white billionaires who want the CHEAP LABOR EXPRESS TO KEEP ON RUNNING. IT IS NOT A GRASSROOTS BLACK GROUP. IT'S THE KKK IN BLACK DRAG.
I’m sorry to learn that, SandRat.
Just PC stupidiy by those cops. As soon as the first cop went down, it should have been mace grenades, water cannons, rubber bullets, whatever, in a flourish. Shock and awe and all handcuffs used. Then buses of thugs, handcuffed to the bus seats, waiting in the sun for many hours for processing.
Prayers for you SandRat...
This brave police officer and his family. My heart goes out to them.
Amen.
I’ve been strugling with this for 22+ years.
Bless You!
