The Black Lives Matter activists who led an organizing rally in Los Angeles on Saturday afternoon condemned “killer cops,” encouraged attendees to “disrupt white capitalism,” then announced the event had “officially closed” shortly before some participants clashed with police.
Featured speakers energized a diverse crowd with anti-law enforcement rhetoric. Kendrick Sampson, an activist who also stars on the HBO series Insecure, repeatedly asked the audience to recite Black Lives Matter’s two national demands: “Prosecute killer cops,” they answered in unison. “Defund police.”
