Keke Palmer Convinces National Guard To March Beside Protesters Against Police Brutality In An Impassioned Speech (video)

Keke Palmer showed up for the nationwide protests against police brutality plaguing minorities in the United States in an impassioned speech citing to the National Guard about how President Trump has fanned the embers of racism. She then urged the uniformed men to march with them.

In a powerful video shared online, the Akeelah and the Bee star is seen speaking to members of the National Guard about racism and police brutality and why everyone needs to work together to end it. She told the troops how Trump's actions are strenthening the divide between protesters and authorities. She also condemned the "when the looting starts the shooting starts" threat made by the President.
"Stand together with the community, with society to stop, stop the governmental oppression.
"We need you. March with us, march beside us."
The troops mentioned that they couldn't leave their duty post but when it was suggested that they take a knee in solidarity with the Black Lives Matter Movement, the uniformed men went on their knees.

 The nationwide protests began after George Floyd was murdered by a Minneapolis officer, Derek Chauvin, who knelt on his neck for more than 9 minutes.
