Black Lives Matter Protests Continue, Hundreds Arrested Across US
Over a hundred people were arrested across America, including prominent Black Lives Matter activist DeRay McKesson, as protests against the police killings of two African-American men, Philando Castile and Alton Sterling, continued.
McKesson was active on social media in the hours leading up to his arrest, posting videos and tweets describing what was going on in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, where Sterling was fatally shot. McKesson’s own footage on the live-streaming app Periscope documents his arrest.
