‘Black Lives Matter’ protests ramp up in Flathead Valley

Local law enforcement leaders, city officials and others say they hope ongoing protests in Whitefish and a protest planned Saturday afternoon in Kalispell will remain peaceful as local residents and others come together in support of the Black Lives Matter movement that has gained global momentum in the past week after the officer-involved killing of George Floyd, a black man from Minneapolis.
