In response to that morning’s eviction of
protesters from the 4th Precinct, hundreds of people gather in City
Hall on Thursday evening to continue demanding #Justice4Jamar.
People watch the protests from the
balconies overlooking the rotunda. This is an iPhone photo but I like it
more than the version I took with my “real” camera.
Hip-hop artist and activist Brother Ali shows his solidarity with the protests.
Protesters march through City Hall.
After occupying City Hall for almost two
hours, demonstrators take to the streets to confront the Minneapolis
Police Federation at their annual fundraising dinner at Elsie’s, a cop
bar in Northeast.
Cops stand in the ally behind Elsie’s, which locked its doors to keep protesters from entering.
Taye Clinton, an 11 year-old boy who the
police maced during the 4th Precinct occupation, sits on the truck
leading the march while holding hands with his mom.
The almost five-mile march ends outside
the Police Federation’s office in Northeast Minneapolis, where
protesters recite the Assata chant: “It is our duty to fight for our
freedom. It is our duty to win. We must love each other and support each
other. We have nothing to lose but our chains.”
