Protesters across the country took to the streets on Saturday night after a week of intense protests over recent fatal police shootings in Minnesota, Chicago and elsewhere.
“We are constantly turning on the TV, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and seeing people who look like us and are killed without any consequences,” Carlil Pittman, co-founder of a youth organization in Chicago, told The Associated Press. “It’s not normal for someone to be killed by clicking a video on your phone, but it has become the norm for our people, our black and colored communities.”
Lately demonstrators protesting against the fatal police shooting of Daunte Wright, who last Sunday during a stop is put to death in Brooklyn Center, Minnesota, and Adam Toledo, a 13-year-old order by an officer in Chicago last month was shot dead – with video of the shooting that appeared last week.
