Minneapolis Stands Up, Fights Back After Police Suffocate George Floyd
In this segment of By Any Means Necessary hosts Sean Blackmon and Jacquie are joined by Alex Vitale, author of “The End of Policing” and coordinator of the Policing and Social Justice Project at Brooklyn College, to talk about the heavy-handed police repression of protesters in Minneapolis, the stark contrast between the police response to mostly-white anti-lockdown protesters and the largely-black social justice activists out yesterday, and how the role that US police have historically played as guarantors of property rights informs their actions today.
