A video was posted on social media showing the anonymous members of an anarchist group which was covering Hollywood Walk of Fame stars with the names of African Americans who have been killed by police officers.
They used adhesive to attach name plates and the groups logo to the terrazo and brass stars. The names represent African Americans who were unarmed and killed by police officers. African Americans such as Tamir Rice, Oscar Grant, Eric Garner and Michael Brown.
"We want an immediate end to this police brutality" said by Malcolm X. The video is set to Malcolm X speech which was following the 1962 fatal police shootings of the Nation of Islam officer Ronald Stokes in LA.
In the video, Malcolm X says "Someone has to pay" as someone with gloves on was holding a Freddie Gray name plate before gluing it down on a blank star.
The ending of the video includes a hashtag saying #BlackLivesMatter
Unfortunately the plates have been removed because " The Hollywood Walk of Fame is an institution celebrating the positive contributions of celebrity inductees", stated to the Washington Post by Leron Gubler. They think vandalizing a California state landmark is not a good way to project their anger towards police brutality.
