Black Lives Matter co-founder Patrisse Khan-Cullors was arrested on Monday while protesting the killing of 18-year-old Carnell Snell, Jr. In Los Angeles.
She was among three women arrested at LAPD headquarters Monday after unlawful assembly was declared amid protests over two fatal weekend police shootings.

“Carnell Snell was his name,” Khan-Cullors told the peaceful crowd that assembled outside the 11 a.m. conference. “He was an 18-year-old child. He was somebody’s baby, and somebody in your department killed him, shot him in the back five times. We’re here because we are tired, but we’re not afraid.”
LAPD released a video on Monday showing Snell running from police with a gun.
