Getting too lazy to protest, let the useful idiots do it.
Via WLOS:
More than a day of protest at the Asheville Police Department ended with the arrest of eight people.
Those protesters were calling for justice in the case of an officer-involved shooting on July 2 that killed Jerry Williams, 35, of Asheville.
News 13’s Jerrika Insco was there as protesters who were arrested were released from the Buncombe County Detention Center.
Seven protesters were charged with disorderly conduct in a public building. That’s after they refused to leave the lobby of the Asheville Police Department after 30 hours.
“We told folks that we would be there until those demands were met or we were jailed and so obviously we were jailed,” Hillary Brown, one of the seven protesters arrested, said.
“We felt like our presence there really demonstrated and our willingness to be arrested and face charges was equal with the crisis that’s facing this community,” Holly Roach, with Showing Up for Racial Justice, said.[…]
“This was white folks putting their bodies in the way for black lives, so we sat down and did that because black folks really couldn’t be there because they didn’t feel safe,” Brown said. “(We’ll) continue to work for justice for Jerry and to bring attention to his case and continue to say that Black Lives Matter in Asheville. The violence that’s being experienced in the country disproportionately by black folks is happening here and we have to bring attention to that.”
The protest was over after those arrests. They say they’re interested in how Asheville police respond in the next few days.
