Black Lives Matter activists blockade, disrupt FOP conference in Baltimore

On the 14th of August, the Fraternal Order of Police held a conference at the Hyatt in Baltimore. Black Lives Matter activsts blockaded doors using lockboxes and dropped banners inside in a full court press disruption. Twelve protesters were arrested after police managed to saw through the lockboxes. One of the FOP attendees showed off the "Frat" part of "Fraternal Order of Police" by saying "Move or I'm going to piss on you bitch" to one of the women in the protest. The Hyatt was reduced to forcing people out of the conference-and the hotel and refunding money paid to enter.

The Baltimore sun printed an article about this but it is not being linked to because their video won't play when ads and trackers are blocked. Such websites do not deserve the public's patronage.

Protests have continued through this multiday event despite Sunday's arrests, the whole mess is due to wrap up Wed, August 17 and more protests have been called for that day.
