Showing Original Post only (View all)Minnesota NAACP leader shocks CNN: Police are ‘behind’ the Black Lives Matter shooting [View all]
http://www.rawstory.com/2015/11/minnesota-naacp-leader-shocks-cnn-police-are-behind-the-black-lives-matter-shooting/Raeisha Williams, communications chair of the Minneapolis NAACP, told CNN that members of law enforcement were behind the Monday night shooting of Black Lives Matter protesters....
Were hearing two (arrests) at this time, Williams explained. But we dont necessarily trust that. We know that the police department is behind this, this is our personal belief after receiving witness accounts.
Wait, wait, wait, Baldwin interrupted. You said you believe the police department is behind what?
We believe the police department is facilitating the injustice, bullying the protesters, Williams replied. And we also believe that theyre involved in this shooting. We know from blackboards and chat rooms and also videos that we have posted on our website that police that are from different counties, police from different districts have come down to entice the protesters, have come down to bully the protesters.

They kind of remind me of these undercover officers at a Police brutality protest in Pittsburgh

Forgot to add; there was no manhunt, no persons of interest named, no statements from lawyers...
