An advertisement for Pepsi featuring model Kendall Jenner
handing a can of soda to a police officer at a peace protest has
sparked a backlash online, sparking the company to yank the ad.
In the ad, Jenner is seen posing in a blond wig at a photo
shoot, while a peace protest marches by. She then ditches the
wig, grabs a can of Pepsi and joins the protest. Jenner gets to
the front and hands the can to a police officer, who drinks as
the crowd cheers.
The description below the ad on Pepsi's Global YouTube channel
states: "A short film about the moments when we decide to let
go, choose to act, follow our passion and nothing holds us back."
The ad was an attempt to reach out to millennials, but following
intense social media criticism, a Pepsi spokesperson said in a
press release that it was pulling the ad.
"Pepsi was trying to project a global message of unity, peace
and understanding," the release said. "Clearly we missed the
mark, and we apologize. We did not intend to make light of any
serious issue. We are removing the content and halting any
further rollout."
People took to Twitter to comment, with comedian Travon Free
saying: "The Kendall Jenner Pepsi fiasco is a perfect example of
what happens when there's no black people in the room when
decisions are being made." It was retweeted more than 4,800
times.

institutionalized racism and oppression by giving a cop a Pepsi.
Groundbreaking."
The ad has also been compared with the image of Ieshia Evans who
was arrested by police at a protest in Baton Rouge, Louisiana,
in 2016. Taryn Finley wrote: "Could you be any more blatant with
the disrespect and appropriation of a movement, @Pepsi? Is this
a sick joke?!"

over-produced ad. pic.twitter.com/CEr4cAw3Ld

February 9, 2017: A leader of the Black Lives Matter Movement
was arrested last month and is facing sex abuse charges. Police
claim that Micah Rhodes, 23, was allegedly having a sexual
relationship with someone who was underage.
Micah faces four counts of Sex Abuse II (statutory rape), which
is a class C felony. Police accuse the leader of Portland,
Oregons chapter of Black Lives Matter with having sex with a 17-
year-old boy back in 2015 after they met on GRINDR, a gay dating
and hook-up app.
Police arrested Micah last week at a protest in downtown
Portland. Investigators charged him with sex crimes on Saturday
after two interviews about the alleged relationship.
