Omaha, NE – Protesters left severed pig heads wearing police hats outside the Omaha Police Officers Association (OPOA) building after holding a “pig roast” event at a nearby park on Saturday evening.
“Everything was beautiful,” ProBLAC Omaha leader and event organizer Alexander “Bear” Matthews told the Beatrice Daily Sun. “We were grilling out, and it was just a typical cookout.”
“We wanted to finish up by dropping off the pig heads and the flyers at the union doors,” Matthews added.
The gathering at Montclair Park was organized in protest of a flyer Omaha Police Sergeant Anthony Conner, president of the OPOA, had distributed labeling former Omaha City Council candidate Cammy Watkins as being anti-police, the Omaha World-Herald reported.
