During the summer of 2020, Coleman was a lead organizer in months-long protests in Milwaukee following Floyd's death in May of that year. The massive protests often turned violent and destructive. The media praised Coleman as a "brilliant community leader" for his "battle for equity and racial justice" despite the destructive protests and Coleman being an open supporter of the violent Milwaukee street gang "Gangster Disciples," which he claims to have no affiliation except support, according to WisconsinRightNow.
