Funny:
D'Atra Jackson, one of the protest organizers said. "We're showing symbolically what we're up against."
Jackson is with Durham Beyond Policing, a group that says it believes in disinvesting in police, but putting more resources in community.
"It was purposefully done so (the pickup driver) could break through us and divide us," Jackson said. "And it was also some form of entertainment not giving any care to the human beings who were in the street."

Though Jackson said her group purposefully chose not to seek a permit to protest legally, she questioned why police didn't intervene when the incident with the truck happened.
Then she goes on to say:
"The laws are subjective laws. They are not created for actual morals. Laws are created for what's convenient," Jackson explained.
Like, it's "convenient" that the police, whom she advocates "disinvesting", should intervene in this instance only, but not while they're actively breaking several laws themselves?
Two words: Grow up.
