Black Man Shot by Police in Lancaster, Protest Mostly Peaceful

The Lancaster Bureau of Police shot and killed a black man today in Lancaster, Pennsylvania and a mostly peaceful protest followed. We do not know more than that at this time. We will be following this closely and will update this page once we know the name of the victim and the officers involved. Police are accusing the man of being armed with a knife and say that they were responding to a report of a domestic disturbance. There are no indications that the police tried to deescalate the situation or use less than lethal force at this time, but like the source link says not much is known right now. We also do not know if the Lancaster BOP wear body cameras. As the video below shows, this tragedy was followed by a mostly peaceful protest in which a small minority of protesters damaged a police vehicle. A protest is mostly peaceful when most of the protesters are peaceful, so if 6 out of every 10 protesters are peaceful then the protest is mostly peaceful regardless of what the other 40% do. That is why we say that almost all protests since the death or George Floyd have been mostly peaceful because most of the participants have been peaceful. #blacklivesmatter #racism #murder #civildisobedience
