Important info from organizers of the #BlackLivesMatter march:

1) The driver who struck the protesters didn’t act alone. Accomplices at large.

2) Police had left 1 on-ramp open

3) An officer had been circling & threatening protesters in her personal vehicle.

🎥 @itsjosephryan
The officer’s name is Molly Clark, and organizers are calling for her arrest.
Note that since this video was made, one of the protesters had died. Their name is Summer Taylor.

The other protester struck, Diaz Love, remains in critical condition.

I understand both victims use they/them pronouns.

Statement by Captain Mead:

“My hope is, as a result of this tragedy, protesters will reconsider their desire to be on the interstate, because I cannot guarantee their safety, plain and simple." https://abcnews.go.com/US/vehicle-strikes-multiple-protesters-washington-hospital/story?id=71606896
To the people saying “well they shouldn’t have been in the street” if they didn’t want to get murdered for exercising their Constitutionally protected 1st amendment rights —

Why don’t you just say you don’t value Black life, along w/ your full name & employer, & be done with it.
To be clear, the police should be defunded & ultimately abolished.

I still call for the arrest of officers who try to kill Black ppl bc the police HAVEN’T been abolished & as long as they’re still out here harming the Black community, I‘ma be calling for their arrests too.
