FARGO, N.D. – A crowd estimated at around 100 people marched in Fargo Saturday seeking justice for Breonna Taylor. The protestors went down city streets across town from Island Park to the Fargo Police Station on 25th Street and then returned to the park.
Black Lives Matter Fargo-Moorhead Organizer Jamaal Abegaz said when he heard the Kentucky Grand Jury decision not to charge the three police officers in Taylor’s killing, he was appalled but not surprised because he had seen the same thing happen before across all state lines.
Another Black Lives organizer, Faith Shields-Dixon told the crowd the police could have shot her. Through a loudspeaker, she yelled, When I look at her, I put myself in her shoes…that could have been me dead.”
Abegaz said even though those events don’t happen in Fargo, it’s important people march because “an injustice anywhere is an injustice everywhere.”
The protestors slowed traffic in some area’s but other than that was peaceful.
