Citizen Uses Drone to Monitor ‘Black Lives Matter’ Protest in L.A.

LOS ANGELES, California — Saturday’s protest at Pan Pacific Park in Los Angeles was briefly monitored by a drone which was brought to the #MillionsMarchLA event by a concerned private citizen who gave his name as Pierre.

“I just wanted to be able to capture everything from the sky’s perspective,” Pierre told Breitbart News. He said that while he was hopeful that nothing with semblance to “the events that brought us here in the first place” would occur during the Millions March protest, he believed it was still a possibility and he wanted to make sure everything was recorded just in case. “You never know,” he said.

Pierre told Breitbart News that he was there to show his solidarity with the cause. “It’s not right what they’re doing to the youth,” Pierre said.

According to the #MillionsMarchLA Twitter account, Saturday’s protest was just “phase one” and the beginning of a series of anticipated future protests.
