BG On The Scene

Pro-Palestine protesters gathered outside a Biden event with UAW members in Warren, Michigan today, demonstrating in support of Palestinians and against Biden’s support for Israel. Demonstrators chanted against Biden and called for a ceasefire, with some tensions ensuing as demonstrators pushed forward against police to move closer to the event, which was held at a union hall in Warren (just north of Detroit). Police retreated towards a line of officers in riot gear, where faceoffs ensued with protesters outside the event. The line of officers in riot gear later swapped places with uniformed officers without riot gear on, who themselves eventually backed away further, after which protesters marched away from the area. The event comes days after the President received the UAW’s endorsement in his reelection campaign, with UAW President Shawn Fain joining Biden in Warren today. Demonstrators held signs including some reading “Abandon Biden”, with protesters vowing not to vote for Biden in the upcoming 2024 presidential election.

Thank you all for sticking with me and being here for the journey. Let’s see what 2024 has to come 👀
