It’s not as the Mayor of Boise portrays it. And she wasn’t even there. Idaho Dispatch has videos of the entire event.
Boise’s chapter of Black Lives Matter (BLM) held a “Defund the Police” protest in front of the city hall in Boise on June 30th.
As nationwide protests have spread across the country against the police, it took a little longer for Idaho to experience its first “Defund the Police” protest. Boise is Idaho’s largest city and BLM chose it as its first official protest against a police department.
The following recap is most of what we witnessed on the ground during the time we were there from 5:15 p.m. to 7:40 p.m.
BLM protesters and counter-protesters, many of whom were armed, exercised their 1st and 2nd amendment rights.
You can see my personal live stream of the event on Facebook or YouTube.
