“I don’t want to say we need to start killing all white folks, but it’s like, maybe they need to start feeling the pain and the hurt”
Black Lives Matter and racial justice protesters at the George Floyd Memorial in Minneapolis, Minnesota spoke to journalist Ami Horowitz on Tuesday, the day of the Derek Chauvin trial verdict, to express their desire to see “pain” and “hurt” inflicted on “white folks” via “street justice,” and expressed ignorance about the statistics of police-involved shooting, claiming “thousands” of unarmed black people are killed by police every day in a systemic “genocide” of the “African-American race.”
Horowitz first asked the protesters if believed the city should be burned down, to which they unanimously answered in the affirmative. One female protester explained that burning the city down would make “them see that we’re here” and “continue the movement.”
