They claim the police force is racist and must be abolished after a black man named George Floyd died when a police officer knelt on his neck while he pleaded that he could not breathe.
However, reports of violence and harassment by the protesters are surfacing, including a video of a man who was harassed and then kicked out of the CHOP zone for being pro-life, according to the report.
“Occupiers forced this guy out who was live-streaming inside the zone. The crowd was calling him a white supremacist, though the man being pushed out says he’s simply an anti-abortion advocate. The crowd chanted, ‘Who don’t matter? This (expletive)!’” Town Hall’s Julio Rosas wrote on Twitter, linking to a video of the incident, Life News reports.

“Mr. Trump, this place has got to be shut down now. They’ve taken our country. It’s a disgrace. This is not America,” the man said.
