Black Lives Matter issued a “travel alert” this week warning black people and other people of color to “exercise caution” while visiting the Minneapolis/St. Paul-area for Super Bowl LII.
What did the group say?
According to a BLM Minnesota Facebook post, the “alert” was issued “to warn African Americans and people of color to exercise caution as safety and well-being risks may be presented by St. Paul Police and/or St. Paul Police K9.”
“The St. Paul police department is the deadliest department in the state of Minnesota, killing more people annually than any other department in the state,” the group claimed. “African Americans and other people of color are especially at risk.”
