A black protester has died three days after he was hit by a car during an anti-racism demonstration in California. Robert Forbes, who was in his mid-50s, died on Saturday as a result of his injuries, according to a statement from his family. Forbes was struck by a car while attending a protest in Bakersfield, California, on Wednesday evening. Footage on social media appears to show him bleeding in the road afterwards. Bakersfield Police Department, who have not charged the white driver, said in a statement: "Several community members have posted on social media regarding their beliefs and statements that the pedestrian in this incident was struck intentionally." “The investigation is still open and officers are still seeking additional witnesses and video evidence,” the statement added. According to the Bakersfield Police, the driver was not travelling above the speed limit and was not under the influence of drugs or alcohol. #robertforbes #noeloquence https://www.instagram.com/p/CBOjmgXBwDC/?igshid=1x2c52wapplfw
