Fuck July 4 march gets tons of bike cops
Video: Two Romy Starks clips of march show umbrella line up front, emphasis on stolen land 40 sec
On the 4th of July, activists gathered at BLM Plaza, then marched through town on a "Fuck July 4, demand Black Liberation" Platform. Marchers also emphasized in chants that the US is stolen land and thus nothing to celebrate. Large numbers of bike cops followed the march, at least once at near contact range.
A cop named Ofc Gibson drew heckling from the crowd during the march. Shortly after Lt Bagshaw arrived, cops were overheard complaining among themselves about having no idea where the march was going. This is what happens when strong security culture keeps out undercover cops and deters snitches!
