On a beautiful sunny Saturday, July 25, Black Lives Matter supporters, and those who represented veterans groups, churches and conservative organizations gathered in many areas of downtown Missoula to express their views.

Referencing an earlier story, Missoula police and City Hall had recently received several calls from Black Lives Matter protesters who were nervous about armed citizens in the downtown area.

Missoula city police chief Jaeson White produced a video with mayor John Engen on Wednesday regarding the rumors of agitators or members of Antifa that may be coming to Missoula.

So, yesterday at the police station, there are 50+ people there. No masks, no social distancing, no adhering to any of the COVID-19 rules. Where was our county health director?

This statement comes from the chief of the Missoula Police Department, the chief of the University of Montana Police Department, the Missoula County sheriff, the mayor of the City of Missoula, and the president of the University of Montana.
