Nzinga also condemned last week s massacre of police in Dallas, and said the New Black Panther Party did not have any role in that attack. Ohio officials have already deemed it legal for protesters to carry weapons so long as they re in compliance with state open carry laws. Other groups planning to attend, including some affiliated with presumptive presidential nominee Donald Trump, said they ll be carrying firearms as well, Reuters reported.
