From Peter Orvetti at Green Party Watch:
Members of the Green Party of Minnesota joined Black Lives Matter activists Sunday in marching in support of Marcus Abrams, a 17-year-old black teenager with autism who was beaten by city Metro Transit Police on August 31.
Green Party of Minnesota spokesperson Brandon Long said, “It’s time that police are not only trained to be culturally sensitive in their interactions with communities of color, but are also competent enough to deal with community members who have disabilities and mental illness. How Marcus was treated by Metro Transit police is unacceptable.”
