I'm here at the Floyd Light Park Black Lives Matter event where I spoke with a gentleman from #WallofVets, Paul Swortz, and he's with a handful of others with the group. Less than 100 gathered here in the park, many clad in black. #koin6news
Here's an interview with Mr. Swortz. He said he is here for Black Lives Matter. He said he doesn't necessarily condone more violent modes of protest, as seen last night at PPB East Precinct across the street, but is here to observe. #koin6news
