Maxine Waters incendiary remarks incites the BLM crowd in Brooklyn Center Minnesota to accept nothing less than a guilty verdict in the Derek Chauvin case.
Fiery California Rep. Maxine Waters joined hundreds of angry protesters who thronged Brooklyn Center, Minnesota early Sunday, all breaking the 11 p.m. curfew together during a seventh night of protests against the police killing of Daunte Wright.
“We’ve got to stay in the streets, and we’ve got to demand justice,” she urged the crowd, according to one tweeted clip.
“We’re looking for a guilty verdict” in Derek Chauvin’s trial for the police killing of George Floyd, where deliberations will begin next week, she said.
“And if we don’t, we cannot go away,” she added. “We’ve got to get more confrontational.”
Asked about the curfew, she said, “I don’t know what curfew means,” according to another tweeted clip.
“A curfew means that ‘I want y’all to stop talking,'” she said, adding, “I don’t agree with it.”
Waters said she wouldn’t stay out at the protest much longer personally — but she urged everyone else to keep at it.
“I came here for one reason, just to be here, to make sure that I let my thoughts be heard among all of those who have spent so much time on the streets. And so I’m hopeful that the protests will continue,” she said.
Protesters began the night chanting and playing music outside the Brooklyn Center Police Department, apparently live video posted to YouTube showed.
“No good cops in a racist system!” “F–K your curfew!” and “No justice, no peace!” they shouted, amid more colorful slogans.
A day earlier, nearly 100 people were arrested after the crowd tried to tear down a fence around the police station.
Remarks about the incitement are between the 6:15 and the 7:20 marks.
