Run the Jewels' Killer Mike issues urgent plea for peaceful organizing amid George Floyd protests
Run the Jewels'made a surprise appearance at Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottom's press conference on Friday , in an attempt to quell some of the violence that has taken place during nationwide protests of George Floyd's police-related death last week.
"I watched a white police officer assassinate a black man," the outspoken rapper/activist said, fighting back tears."And I know that tore your heart out. And I know it's crippling, and I have nothing positive to say in this moment, because I don't want to be here." Mike's comments came before another night of protests, which have spread across the nation from Los Angeles to New York, San Jose, Atlanta, Washington, D.C., Portland, Dallas, Detroit, Oakland and Louisville and many other cities. Citizens knelt, put their hands up, shouted"I Can't Breathe" and otherwise voiced their anger at the death of unarmed black man Floyd at the hands of Minneapolis police officer, who was seen on video kneeling on Floyd's neck for eight minutes.
