Protester killed in Austin, TX.
The
Austin American-Statesman describes as “a protest against police violence.”
Here’s the
Statesman’s description of what happened:
If you watch the video above, the car didn't "speed" down any street. As far as I can tell, his sin was honking his horn. The guy the motorist shot definitely had a rifle (not "may have" as the cop said in the initial briefing). Here is an interview with the dead man earlier in the evening talking about why he has an AK-47. Evidently his main reason was the protestoers aren't allowed to march in the streets anymore.
I'm seeing some reports that the protestor fired the AK into the car multiple times when the guy blew his horn but missed him. Obviously, the driver didn't miss. I haven't linked to those reports because I haven't found anything official.
