And Black Lives Matter activists are protesting the jailing of Pasadena organizer Jasmine Richards. The 28-year-old activist has been one of the key organizers demanding justice for Kendrec McDade, a 19-year-old African American who was shot and killed by Pasadena police in 2012 after officers mistakenly believed that he was armed. Jasmine Richards has been arrested twice in the past six months, most recently after a rally last week. She is currently being held on charges of terrorist threats, assault and trespassing.
