Klobuchar Rally Canceled When Protesters Chanting ‘Black Lives Matter’ Take Over Stage

A home state event for Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota was canceled Sunday after a Black Lives Matter protest disrupted the event.

The rally had been scheduled to take place at St. Louis Park High School in St. Louis Park, Minnesota, a Minneapolis suburb.

Instead, demonstrators took over the rally in protest of a 2002 case that Klobuchar prosecuted while she was Hennepin County attorney. In that case, Myon Burrell, then 16, was convicted of the murder of Tyesha Edwards, then 11. Edwards had been doing homework when killed by a stray bullet. Burrell is currently serving a life sentence.


A recent Associated Press investigation raised doubts about the case, and it has become a rallying point for black critics of Klobuchar.

“Amy Klobuchar has the power and the influence — if she wanted to actually help us to free him she could, and she doesn’t want to,” Leslie Redmond, president of the Minneapolis NAACP, said, according to USA Today.

“This is a tale of two cities. There’s a real distinction between how we see Amy Klobuchar, and it’s because she keeps hiding behind her progressive background or values, but she’s actually not as progressive as she comes across.”
