A gunman killed and injured protesters at a BLM march. Why did police blame the victims?
Briefly

Two years after an attacker shot five volunteers before a Black Lives Matter march...new visual investigation of the attack reveals that the assailant tried to provoke a stand-your-ground situation, daring three women to fight him, before suddenly opening fire when they refused.
