One of the protesters provided a live stream to Facebook of Monday night’s Black Lives Matter event on Merle Hay Road in Des Moines.
Feel free to check out the video to see and hear some of the highlights. Early in the video, the person providing the stream said the police are a bunch of “murderers.” Later they compared what was happening to Germany.
