Dozens of protesters returned to the streets of Minneapolis for a 2nd day after the police murder of Winston Smith in his car by undercover US Marshals. Demonstrators blocked roads with cars until their tires were slashed by police and towed, after which the crowd burned a dumpster and 10-20 arrests were made.
Around 100 protesters in Seattle marched in opposition to the war in Tigray, demanding the immediate halt to the genocide of the local Tegaru population by a joint effort of the Ethiopian and Eritrean armies, both widely condemned for committing massacres and mass rape against the breakaway province’s population.
Police have not killed anyone more since the September 12th update, but ~50 more injuries have occurred as well as several dozen arrests. Protesters are consolidating their areas of control over Bogota, and are still in the streets in Bucaramanga and Medellin. Protests have also been sparked by allegations of sexual violence against arrested women in Bogota.
Protests began spontaneously in Atlanta on the night of the 23rd, with police reacting violently, but ultimately too weak in terms of numbers to stop the protesters.
