Black Lives Matter protests have erupted across the country in the wake of multiple police killings of black people recorded on video in rapid succession. Riot police recently pushed a protest back onto the property of one of the members. Cenk Uygur, host of The Young Turks, breaks it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.
"Hundreds of protesters and several journalists were arrested over the weekend during nationwide demonstrations against police violence in the wake of the shooting deaths of Alton Sterling and Philando Castile—two black men who were killed by the police last week, and whose last moments were caught on video. The videos, which quickly went viral, have sparked national outcry over police brutality and racism in the justice system.
Leading Black Lives Matter activist DeRay Mckesson was among those arrested on Saturday in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, where Sterling, a husband and father of five, was shot and killed outside a convenience store while selling CDs. Mckesson was released the following day and is being charged with simple obstruction of a highway of commerce. Since his release, he has criticized Baton Rouge police for provoking protesters and doing "everything in their power" to shift conversations away from police accountability.”*
