Reverend William H. Lamar IV, Pastor of the Metropolitan AME Church of D.C., said his parishioners’ primary concern is not the sign burning.

“We do not want this to be about a sign coming down,” Lamar said while describing people within the church’s community as resilient and faithful. “We want a clear message sent to the city, the nation and the world about the work that we do.”

He detailed the social justice goals of his parish and some of the work they do to help people held captive by poverty.

“We want this to be ultimately about the work of universal health care being waged, we want this to be the work of human beings retiring with dignity, and we want this to be about the dismantling of the prison industrial complex,” Lamar said.

Image Description: Karon Hylton’s mother is pictured outside, in front of a building with large glass lobby doors. MPD, in reflective jackets, burst from the lobby doors and head straight for her, grab her, shove off other protesters and drag her inside.

The difference in how the cops treated PBs with weapons last weekend versus a grieving mother with a megaphone today. Gross.
So did I read this right? They let Proud Boys move thru the streets of DC beating up people along the way but felt the grieving mother of a black boy killed by police was a threat b/c she was vocal about? A grieving mother was a threat to DC police. Wow this country is messed up!
