Protests and riots sprung up across the U.S. this week following the death of George Floyd, a black man suffocated by a police officer during an arrest in Minneapolis, Minnesota, on Monday.
Around 7 p.m., a protest began in Oklahoma City at the intersection of NW 23rd & Classen. Chants of "NO JUSTICE. NO PEACE." filled the air as hundreds of protesters circled the road to block traffic. Dozens of police officers arrived. Arrests were made. I took as many photos as I could.
Much of the early portion of the protest was peaceful. I couldn't see anyone fighting until police arrived to clear the intersection. Around 9 p.m., protesters started marching toward toward the Plaza District and eventually marched to the Oklahoma City Police Department Headquarters, 700 Colcord, and eventually dispersed from the area at about midnight.

"We want from USA to cancel article 140 from Iraqi Constitution."
Article 140 states, "First: The executive authority shall undertake the necessary steps to complete the
implementation of the requirements of all subparagraphs of Article 58 of the
Transitional Administrative Law.
"Second: The responsibility placed upon the executive branch of the Iraqi
Transitional Government stipulated in Article 58 of the Transitional
Administrative Law shall extend and continue to the executive authority elected
in accordance with this Constitution, provided that it accomplishes completely
(normalization and census and concludes with a referendum in Kirkuk and other
disputed territories to determine the will of their citizens), by a date not to exceed
the 31st of December 2007."
The goal of the article is to reverse some of the forced arabization of Kurdistan that took place under the previous government.
I don't know what issue these protestors have with the article, but they clearly feel that Kirkuk is their home.

Their message was compelling, yet easy for the people on their way in to just see it as an anti-Bush message and say "Oh, I'm part of the solution" and keep walking.We got held up because of the "bomb threat" which was the result of a device which may or may not have been designed to look like a molotov cocktail. They shut down streets, told us to hide behind buildings, mixed it up with protestors, arrested a few people, and went back to business as usual. I heard about all this from the undercover lady FBI agent. It always sucks to hear about these things from law enforcement because they often have, shall I say, a particular perspective on these types of events.The lack of good information, especially timely information, was an ongoing theme of this event. Watching the events later on the TV you either got the "Oh this was street theater" clip from the cops where they strongly alluded to the fact that they had made a mistake in flipping out over a paper mache "device" or you saw the one where they were much more bitter, defensive and self-righteous. Very "blame the victim." Guess which one made the nightly news?
