A Milwaukee, Wisconsin community is outraged after a group of photos of victims of racial violence was found hanging on nooses in the city’s Riverside Park.
According to WLKY, the photos were removed by local activists of the original Black Panther Panther (to distinguish them from the New Black Panther Party which has been defined as a hate group) and included pictures of Trayvon Martin, Eric Garner, Michael Brown, Botham Jean, Ahmaud Arbery and Breonna Taylor.

King Rick of the Milwaukee chapter of the Black Panther Party says that the photos were definitely racist in intent.
Photos of a group of people who lost their lives to racial violence were hung up with nooses in Milwaukee.
This is just one of a series of incidents nationwide with racial overtones in the wake of the deaths of George Floyd, Taylor, and Arbery this year.
