Black Lives Matter and boogaloo activists took part in a joint protest in Lansing, Michigan, on Saturday, demanding justice for Anthony Hulon, who died in police custody last year.
The protest was a rare, yet tepid moment of unity between activists from opposite sides of the political spectrum, which caused disagreement among protest organisers over whether to let boogaloo members, a loosely organized anti-government movement often associated with the far-right, take part in the protest.
The heavily-armed activists wearing armour and face-covering were ultimately allowed to join the rally and were seen marching alongside BLM activists.
Hulon, a white man, died last April in the city jail after four officers reportedly handcuffed and pinned him to the ground.
