Raeisha Williams, communications chair of the Minneapolis NAACP, shocked CNN when she told reporter Brooke Baldwin that Black Lives Matter has in essence indicted the Minneapolis Police Department in the shooting of five people during a protest early Tuesday morning.
Williams said:
Were hearing two [arrests] at this time, but we dont necessarily trust that. We know that the police department is behind this, this is our personal belief after receiving witness accounts.
Burke, as stunned as you may imagine, asked her to confirm. Williams stated:
We believe the police department is facilitating the injustice, bullying the protesters, and we also believe that theyre involved in this shooting. We know from blackboards and chat rooms and also videos that we have posted on our website that police that are from different counties, police from different districts have come down to entice the protesters, have come down to bully the protesters.

There is a video at the site too.

I don't know anyone here that can honestly say that this is not a possibility.
