YouTube Description
as posted by the channelHelp us cover the political revolution
"A group of black students from Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School on Wednesday issued sharp criticism of the news media and local law enforcement over the response to the shooting that killed 17 people at their school last month.
At a news conference, the group of students, led by 17-year-old Kai Koerber, said that increased law enforcement measures resulting from February's mass shooting left black students feeling as if they were being treated like “potential criminals," the Miami Herald reports.
“It’s bad enough we have to return with clear backpacks,” Koerber told reporters. “Should we also return with our hands up?”
Members of local Black Lives Matter activist groups concurred, saying the increased police presence at Stoneman Douglas made the building feel like a prison for students.
“They were shook. It felt like there was a thousand police there,” said Tifanny Burks, an organizer with Black Lives Matter Broward. “Having all those police there made their school feel like a prison.”
