Chicago police shoot and kill Joshua Beal leading to clash between BLM activists and pro-police protesters

• Joshua Beal, 25, was in Chicago on Saturday for a funeral for his young cousin who died recently due to gun violence. 
• Beal was driving in the funeral procession of vehicles when he, a firefighter and 2 plainclothes police officers got into a traffic dispute. 
• A firefighter’s insistence that funeral vehicles were blocking an emergency fire lane and causing delays sparked an initial argument
• Ultimately, one of the police sergeant fatally shot Beal
• Chicago police spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said Beal had a gun and refused to drop it.
• Beal’s family said that, not only did he legally own the gun, he did not fire at the officer or firefighter. 
• She said the dispute was sparked by plainclothes police officers who cut off her daughter’s vehicle from the procession and pointed a gun at her daughter, without identifying themselves as officers.

Hours later local Black Lives Matter activists came out to support Beals’s family. Pro-police protesters in the area responded by threatening Beal’s family and activists with violence. Video and witness accounts reveal things got really ugly and racist.

THEY PULLED HIS CAR FROM A FUNERAL PROCESSION AND MURDERED HIM

WHAT KIND OF BARBARIC SHIT

“Their blocking fire lanes” No shit it’s a funeral procession. And if you’re a firefighter why not blare your alarms if you needed them out of the way.

Also what happened to the cop(s) that are supposed to be leading the procession and having warnings put out saying “hey funeral procession coming through”.

Man fuck this shit
