At 4 PM on Wednesday, a young Black man was shot and killed by police in DC, and because of the political climate and the numerous violent uprisings with the far-left radical Democrat Mayor Muriel Bowers allowing targeted violence against police officers, it is expected that the unfortunate death will bring violence to the streets of DC.
A local activist reported on Twitter,”#BLM plans on taking the streets tonight, hints at civil unrest, Over the police shooting of a black man who was (allegedly) armed with a gun which was recovered at the scene according to police reports.”
