Just want to observe that—other than the Austin media—the first out talking about this shooting were these right-wing, bloodthirsty Putin-lackeys. They love this. Fucking ghouls.pic.twitter.com/A2C3uRB6V0

Report from Austin eyewitness to @MoseBuchele says the car was trying to speed through protesters almost running people over, man approached car saying, “Hey just don’t do that you’re going to get somebody hurt,” and the person in the car rolled their window down and opened fire:pic.twitter.com/h7RXVwpahB

It’s remarkable and infuriating that the Austin #BlackLivesMatter protest was flanked by police but the officers either couldn’t or wouldn’t stop a person from first using their vehicle as a weapon against and then opening fire upon unarmed protesters and killing someone.

I’m seeing this reported widely by people who reportedly knew them: The man shot to death at the Austin #BlackLivesMatter protest was Garrett Foster. He was there with his wife, Whitney Mitchell, for whom he was a caregiver. She is a quadrapalegichttps://twitter.com/checkback/status/1287254253720031233 …

Foster or Morris? This guy was IDed earlier in the day as Garrett Morris, but the person who took the pic might have gotten the name wrong. Apparently he still had the AK on him at the time of the shooting. Jumped in front of his wife, shot at least 3 times at point blank range.pic.twitter.com/fsq0DFGKFX
