    Ben and Jerry’s Ice Cream put their scoops down for a minute to push for dismantling white supremacy after Daunte Wright was shot and killed by a police officer in a Minneapolis suburb. The wealthy white liberal men who have made their millions peddling ice cream believe Wright’s death was caused by white supremacy. Ben and Jerry’s is calling for police departments to be dismantled and another system rebuilt in its place to combat this.

He was charged with simple assault. An ice cream truck owner found the tires slashed on his truck. He could not prove who did it but believes it was...
