Providence Protesters Offer Free "#BlackLivesMatter" Coffee to Police 
----------------------------------------------------------------------


 
Meanwhile in nearby Providence, protesters continue to show solidarity
with a Dunkin' Donuts worker who faced calls for her firing when she
wrote "#Black Lives Matter" on a police officer's cup. On Friday,
activists gathered outside the police station and offered free coffee in
cups marked "#Black Lives Matter" to about 30 officers—only one
officer accepted the coffee.
