The nightly protests in Portland, which began in May as a response to the death of George Floyd, have become the backdrop for a conflict between federal officials and local leaders.
President Donald Trump’s administration dispatched dozens of federal officers to police at-times chaotic protests near the federal courthouse. Their nightly use of tear gas and impact munitions have reenergized protests and sparked nationwide criticism.
Now, RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE guitarist Tom Morello has shared a video of some of those protestors shouting lyrics to RATM anthem “Killing in the Name” — specifically “F*ck you I won’t do what you tell me.”
You can check out the video below.
RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE previously rescheduled their reunion tour due to coronavirus outbreak.
Band said in a statement: “RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE will commence our tour at such a time when we are confident it will be safe for our fans. The rerouted dates (health and safety permitting) are at ratm.com and your tickets will be honored for the postponed shows.
“During this difficult time we also respect the fans who want their ticket money back. We’ve requested and confirmed that, as of this weekend, anyone who wants a refund can begin the process at your point of purchase.
“We sincerely hope that each one of you and your families and friends stay safe and well and that music is bringing you solace and inspiration.
“We look forward to seeing you.”
