This is a song about institutional racism and police brutality.

"Killing in the Name" is a protest song by American rock band Rage Against the Machine, featured on their self-titled debut album, and was released as the lead single from the album in November 1992.

WATCH: Man With Bow & Arrow Taken Down by Salt Lake City Protesters

A man showed up with a bow-and-arrow in the middle of a Salt Lake City protest, but the protesters surrounded and took him down, jumping on his car and, by some accounts, setting it on fire, according to viral videos of the incident.

The videos show the man pointing a bow-and-arrow at protesters, who then surround and jump on him. One man comes at the guy with a skateboard. People also throw things at him. According to KSTU-TV, the man claimed his name was Brandon McCormick and said he pulled up on scene to help officers because he had weapons. He gave an interview “blooded and bruised.” However, the TV station reported that citizen videos, which you can watch below, instead show him randomly pointing the bow-and-arrow at people.

This is why people are so angry with the police in Minneapolis and around the country.

Here is a link to the story online about what you see in that tweet. The suspect in a double murder, a white man, was detained and given water...

Rioters just breached the 3rd Precinct. Where the officers were employed.

They are not going to announce arrests. This will not be good.

If they were going to announce arrests today, they would have started with that, instead they started with "we thought we would have some more news for you, but we don't"

Not good enough...Not good enough.

Edited to add link to press conference.

Dan Scavino tweets "sad milestone" for Dump, everyone thinks Dump had a moment.

He didn't. Look at the tweet. It is perfect. Dump would never tweet his sympathy to the people who have died.

NEVER.

https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1266000762057953284

Heartfelt sympathy? WTF? With what heart?

Dump would never call common people great. It is not in his nature. Remember, Dump and his administration believe we are all expendable.

This tweet is just bullshit by Dan Scavino to try and do damage control.

Dump would NEVER tweet sympathy...NEVER.
