Black Lives Matter founder in Illinois caught brawling with female worker who accused him of misusing money
Daily Mail ^ | 3/3/26 | By JAMES GORDON, US NEWS REPORTER

A Black Lives Matter founder in Illinois was caught on camera in a violent office confrontation with a female worker who accused him of misusing the organization's money, a report said.

The violent clash erupted into shoving, grabbing and a physical struggle along a corridor at the group's headquarters, according to a police report.

Police in Waukegan, Illinois, were called to the Black Lives Matter Lake County Resource Center on January 12 after reports of a battery involving the group's founder, Clyde J. McLemore, and project manager Nyesha A. Hill.

Surveillance footage and police reports detail a heated confrontation that spiraled into a physical fight between the two inside McLemore's office.

Both said the fight came following a dispute about money.
...

Both individuals involved in the altercation have prior legal histories.(See details at source)

The footage captures the two shoving and grabbing each other as the dispute spills out of an office and into the hallway. Here, Hill managed to get McLemore on the floor

Looks like you don’t want to grab the last drumstick if Nyesha’s there.

“In her statement to police, Hill also alleged that she had seen McLemore spend money intended for Black Lives Matter activities on other things, including ‘girls’ and gambling.”

How’d I just know she’d be doing a beat down on poor old Clyde.

Always put your money on the female of the species.

A big man and a big woman- don’t underestimate a big black woman’s fighting ability or ferocity. Checkout the videos of airport brawl and cruise ship melees.

True. Apes don't wear red pants and get beaten by what might be some type of female.

‘ain’t got no money,’

Hill also alleged that she had seen McLemore spend money intended for Black Lives Matter activities on other things, including ‘girls’ and gambling.
