Last night, as protesters were pushed by police up Stark away from the East Precinct station, they encountered a woman shouting insults from her porch. She was wearing a Nazi uniform, and had a Nazi flag in her window. Tonight they confronted her again, tagging 'Nazi Lives Here'
She came out again to shout at the protesters, saying "I never said I was a Nazi", they respond "You wore a swastika!"
The Nazi flag is now gone from her window, but the tag on her house remains.

Just want to share a thread to outline who has been killed in relation to the protests this past week. Yes, a former police officer was killed in St. Louis while protecting his friend's pawn shop from looters. THAT is all over the news. But there have also been 5 people killed
during the protests. In addition, a young man was gassed to death by corrections officers in a jail cell in Brooklyn. In this thread we'll share their names and their stories. Those killed this past week are all men of color. Four of them were black men, two of them Latino men.
