The families of those attending the event were violently attacked over their “white privilege” as they entered the Louisville International Convention Center for the competition. This was allowed by local police.

According to one father, his daughter and her family attended the cheerleading competition. She then told him that they were caught in the abuse as they entered:

“We had to walk straight through this.  They shoved Dave (fiance’), and threatened they would kill my children.  This was scary and unexpected.”
