Protesters took to the streets after the murder of Jonathan Price in Wolfe City, Texas by a police officer. During the protest, the decision came to arrest the killer cop to avoid a situation like what happened in Louisville with Breonna Taylor. About 250 protesters took part in the march, which lasted for about 45 minutes.
On the 4th of October, a small group of Patriot Prayer members held an anti-BLM rally in Portland. Counterprotestors quickly arrived, with confrontations but no major fights occurring until the slightly larger BLM counterprotest pushed the right-wing group out of the city. Patriot Prayer was heavily armed with assault weapons as well.
125 protesters marched in Portland during the new Sunday protests organized by the mother of Patrick Kimmons, a black man killed in 2018. Organizers of the demonstration called for a reopening of the case on the police killing of Kimmons, who allegedly was armed and facing away from law enforcement.
An Abolish Homelessness demonstration was held at ~3:00 P.M. in New York, around 53rd St. and 7th Ave. The goals of the protesters were to house the homeless with the empty hotels that exist all around the city, with no guests amid the COVID-19 pandemic. 11 protesters were arrested inside of the Sheraton hotel, and are expected to be released later.
Protests continue to grow in Nigeria, whose SARS police force has yet to be disbanded and is being replaced with SWAT, and recent leaks by Anonymous are only serving to aggravate the situation in the country. The hacktivist group had previously not been present, but it is likely that its new releases will bring forth a new wave of protests.
