On June 2, Hustlers actress Keke Palmer was not only seen protesting in Los Angeles, but having an open dialogue with members of the National Guard. She entreated the men in uniform, carrying weapons, to join her and fellow protestors in their march. “We need you. March beside us. March beside us. Let the revolution be televised. We’ll start marching and you march with us. Please,” she pleaded with the men. Hesitant to leave their posts, the men did not march with Keke and protestors but they did take a knee with them.
