Washtenaw County judge dismisses tickets against BLM protesters, including teens
A Washtenaw County judge dropped charges Monday against Black Lives Matter protesters after a number of people raised concerns about Chelsea police pursuing civil infractions against them, some of them being kids.
Teen Mya King spoke about her joyous reaction to Washtenaw County Judge Anna Frushour dismissing charges of impeding traffic against her and several others who took part in Black Lives Matter protests in Chelsea last summer. Ms. King s letter from the Chelsea Police Department states You have been identified as blocking the street while demonstrating, said Judge Anna Frushour in a streamed hearing. The inclusion of that language makes this ticket more about just impeding traffic. And that s the problem.
