The Austin-American's Statesman's Article on the Austin Protest Shooting :https://ift.tt/2OXEjR1 incident leading up to the 28-year-old’s death began about 9:50 p.m. when a driver on Fourth Street honked his horn and turned right onto Congress Avenue where there was a crowd of protesters, according to Austin Police Chief Brian Manley on Sunday. Several protesters — including Foster, who was holding an assault rifle — approached the car, Manley said. Manley said the driver reported Garrett had pointed his assault weapon at him. The driver then pointed his handgun outside the window and fired multiple shots and then drove away, Manley said.Video from during the incident: https://twitter.com/stillgray/status/1287438995463344129Austin: Black Lives Matter protesters blocked the streets. A car was trying to get through. One of the BLM protesters, Garrett Foster, fired five shots at the vehicle with an AK47. He missed every shot. The driver fired back three times. Killing him.Regardless of how you feel about this incident, the moral of the story is don't go where protests are happening, and turn around immediately if you see a group of protestors in the street. Avoid conflict at all costs (for your own safety as well as theirs).What are your thoughts? via /r/CCW https://ift.tt/39vh0rb
