“We’ve gotta take responsibility,. Like, what are we willing to give up? Do we actually give a f— about what’s going on, or is it just cool to wear ‘Black Lives Matter’ on the backdrop, or wear a T-shirt? Is it really doing anything?” - Fred VanVleet, Toronto Raptors

I just spoke to Braydon Page about the police shooting of Jacob Blake.
He organized the largest #BlackLivesMatter protest in #yxe this summer.

Page : "With all the protests that went on all over North America and the attention it brought to racial injustice, still the same atrocities are happening to our brothers and sisters. I want justice." #yxe #BlackLivesMatter
Today, Ontario's Special Investigations Unit has cleared all police officers of wrongdoing in the death of 29-year-old Regis Korchinski-Paquet.

BREAKING: We are now sharing an image of the person arrested in connection to the deadly shooting.

As protesters, counter-protesters and police faced off, we stood next to this person.

Later, as police pushed everyone further south, the shooting happened. Now he is charged.
EXCLUSIVE VIDEO: Last night we saw the 17-year-old #Kenosha protest shooter walk past our camera and up to police.

Watch the interaction here between the man and officers as he is turned around.

This is minutes before the shooting last night. #JacobBlake #JacobBlakeShooting
Then AFTER the shooting. Another armed man speaks with us as he too, approaches and is turned away from officers.

We actually spoke with this person. (Warning, language)
