Roughly a week after the Amherst College Police Department said it would not cede to student demands to disarm, students walked out of class to demand the department’s abolition … and to protest the killing of Daunte Wright in Minnesota.
“Hundreds of students,” all donned in black, joined the protest. The event was organized by the Black Student Union, The Amherst Student reports.
Wright allegedly was shot dead when, after resisting arrest and attempting to flee in his car, a police officer used her gun instead of her taser. In audio of the encounter, the officer in question can be heard yelling “Taser! Taser! Taser!” but then exclaims “Holy sh**! I shot him!” upon realizing she had used her gun.
Black Student Union (BSU) President Ayodele Lewis told walkout participants “We can’t be expected to attend class any longer as our brothers and sisters are slaughtered in the streets by designated state violence across the country, across the globe.” (During the virtual town hall at which the campus police refused to disarm, Lewis questioned whether there’s any difference for students of color between police officers and so-called Community Service Officers … as she had once been “approached aggressively” by the latter.)
Council of Amherst College Student-Athletes of Color President Bella Edo claimed Wright was shot and killed “for no reason other than his Blackness.” She said “We live every day with anger and devastation. Our own people being killed while negotiating with the fear that we might be next.”

We Often Feel Like David Taking on Giants
Today’s Goliath is the Mainstream Media Industrial Complex that brainwashes the masses.
Our mission is very straightforward: To counter the false narratives and nefarious agendas destroying America today. It isn’t easy for obvious reasons; despite incredible growth over the last year we are still a very tiny fish in a huge media pond. But we’re fighting and we will continue to do so, Lord willing, for as long as we possibly can. The battle for America’s present and future is too important for us to back down to the giants that stand in our way.
We need help. I don’t want to say “desperately,” but the need is definitely great. If you have the means, please donate through our GivingFuel page, PayPal, or our Substack page. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to get the truth to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
Thank you, and God Bless!
