Oklahoma City actually had a relatively peaceful Black Lives Matter protest…

Yesterday evening, thousands of Oklahomans gathered in the streets of Bricktown for a Black Lives Matter march and demonstration. Overall, the protest was peaceful, productive, and seemed to bring protesters and law enforcement officials together as opposed to pulling them apart. I guess you can say it's the exact opposite of what happened 600-miles away in Baton Rouge:

black lives matter

Question? Can we go ahead and give the Pulitzer to whoever took that photograph? It symbolizes everything wrong with the over militarization of police state, systematic racial prejudices and bias of law enforcement, and why the Black Lives Matter movement is so important. I can't wait to see where it ranks on UpRoxx's soon to be released slide show of most iconic photos of the 21st-century.
