MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) – Protesters demonstrating against police violence in the United States took a knee Sunday outside U.S. Bank Stadium ahead of the Vikings game against the Baltimore Ravens.
With signs and a megaphone, several demonstrators gathered among football fans flocking into the stadium before the noontime kickoff. The protesters’ signs read: “Take a knee, end police violence,” “Black Lives Matter” and “No More Minnesota Nice.” Some signs had a hashtag calling for an NFL boycott.
In a Facebook post, the protesters say they’re taking a stand against police violence and racism.
