    Full title:
    'We prepare to stop these murders by any means necessary.' Black Lives Matter leader declares war on police and group is 'training our people to defend our communities' in Black Panther style armed 'patrols'

    This is a real bad idea. BLM, a group known to hate and be hostile to cops, is going to arm themselves to defend their communities. I have news for them, it's not the cops who are doing all the murdering in their communities.

    So the cops respond to a crime and the BLM folks don't like the way the cops are handling it, what are they going to do, shoot the cops? If they ever shot a cop, right or wrong, and they will always be wrong, the gates of hell will open up on them. If this armed group of cop haters ever actually becomes a real thing, then I'd say at that point they're officially home grown terrorists.

    Down in the article it says they want to police their own communities. What I would strongly recommend is for them to imitate the Guardian Angels and work to prevent crime so the police don't need to be called. And they should all register themselves with the cops and get background checks so the cops know who they are and can trust them. This way when they stop a crime and call the police, the cops might not be fearful and the bLMers can tell the cops what happened and who the victims and criminals are.

    I must repeat that in the communities these people are concerned with, it's not the cops who are committing all the murders. So this group really should focus on the people who are.

    And is being a full time BLMer this guy's job? Who's paying for all this?

    Want to ask you something Pred. Where you not outraged at the police when you watched the George Floyd video? Because if you weren't you have no right in calling anyone else a terrorist.

    Just to get you on record, is any murder or assault considered terrorism? If so, then I've got some real disappointing news for you.

    I can't take anyone seriously who says "government sanctioned murder by police" with a straight face.

    1) it's not murder, and 2) in the rare case (like George Floyd) where it may be murder the officer was charged and awaits trial.

    Also, "freedom from oppressive government"? Does that mean freedom from the government that makes us free? Or freedom from the law and order and codes of civilized conduct the rest of us adhere to? Or is it just buzzwords someone has fed to these idiots, like "systemic racism"?

    What a hateful divisive terrorist he and BLM both are.

    If these people really thought America was oppressive to blacks and browns you'd think they'd get on TV and tell people from Africa and down south not to come here. Instead the opposite is true. Look at Ilhan Omar.

    i only wish that folks like you could take a quick look at my medical history. multiple concussions and chest x-rays that still show a unique pattern of healed rib fractures. yes, i know a few things about police brutality. you know what i learned from those incidents? be careful!!! never give the bastards an excuse and you have a better than average chance of surviving an "unusual" encounter. don't bother to resist, because there will always be more of them than of us.

    as for "terrorism"... intentionally targeting non-combatants or condoning those that do places you in the realm of the terrorist. this is why blm should be targeted as a terrorist organization, they consistently attempt to justify the violence that has taken scores of innocent lives and condones violence against those sworn to protect these lives. though there are certainly individuals within law enforcement that are unfit, this does not justify violence against the group as a whole. this is precisely the sort of bias that folks like blm claim to be against, but they insist on engaging in it nevertheless.

    BLM is currently fundraising for the democrat party.

    Time for the democrat party to disavow its relationship and return those funds.

    Trump needs to crack down on these racial terrorists just like Antifa.

    If you were beat up by the police, you should have filed a complaint.

    It sounds like he is! The cries from the left like in Portland seem to say so.

    A long time ago I got into a road rage incident where I was by myself and the other car had two men and two women in it. They tried to run me off the road and threw stuff at my car, so I chased them. The chase ended when they drove into the police station of the next town over and ran to the cops. I figured this is where I finally got them. Well, they knew the cops inside and the cops put me in handcuffs. As I sat in the station I kept mouthing off about them screwing up. Eventually I mouthed off so bad that one cop threw me across a desk and broke a typewriter. When I kept mouthing off they jumped on top of me and gave me a work over. After all was said and done, I was charged with felony assault on a cop and I had to pay for the typewriter and a pair of glasses a cop was wearing that broke during the fiasco. When I told my story to everyone, while they said it was wrong, they also said I should never mess with anyone who has a bigger dick than I do because I'll lose. And that is the way of the world. Had I just told my story to the cops and not been a total jerk things would have ended up differently.

    BTW, after I paid for the glasses and typewriter, the charges against me were dismissed. And after all I said above, I'm not in any hurry to burn down my neighborhood, loot stores, target people of specific races, and wish cops to be dead. They're human just like everyone else. The lesson learned here is you treat people with respect and they'll treat you with respect. But when you're raised to believe you're a victim....

    Above is a story about how tangled with some cops and got arrested for it. When I told my story to the judge he asked me if I won or lost my fight with the cops. I told him I lost. He dropped the charges at the urging of the prosecutor. I did not claim police brutality or victimhood status. I just learned a lesson and moved on.

    Yeah I'm going to call bullshit on this one. There were scores of BLM protests than ended up peacefully. There were even times the cops responded by bending the knee to support the protesters. These protesters were world wide. The protests that had the most acts of violence were all the ones were the police and other law enforcement agencies showed up in military equipment and were over aggressive with the protesters. Connect the dots people.

    'Black Panther style' armed patrols might not be the worst thing that ever happenned to crime-ridden black communities. Yes, its likely to cause some bloodshed. But it just might prevent more than it causes, and it might be the criminals doing the bulk of the bleeding for once.

    It all depends on whether the good folks in those communities arm up or just more of the bad folks.

    Here's to hoping...

    are you really that naive? we were in the middle of america's most unpopular and least successful war (even iraq was more popular than viet nam). we had a draft that was forcing young men to travel half-way around the world and die. what 60's da wouldn't have jumped at the chance to crucify some dumb kid? what 60's jury, hand picked for their upstanding qualities, would believe the word of a crazed punk over that of authority? perhaps you have no sense of history or maybe you just had to be there to understand. my story is far from unique. i was just one among many.

    i'm reminded of a recent conversation that took place between my father and my sister. he asked if she were in any danger from the violence in nearby portland and she responded that there was no violence and it was all just "fake news". the following day she returned my father's call. that morning she had traveled to portland and seen first hand that there was indeed violence and that, in her words, "it was a mess". i should add at this point that my sister is one of those progressive morons that dutifully follow the party line, but she is not entirely ignorant of reality. the take-away from this is that many of these "peaceful" resolutions are nothing more than a fantasy concocted by useful idiots. if looting is limited to a few stores, is it "peaceful"? if only one or two people die, is it "peaceful"? if only a few livelihoods are destroyed, is it "peaceful"? more importantly - is law enforcement causing these acts of violence to evolve or are they responding to it? i know what your answer will be, but any rational person will understand that the majority of law enforcement is more interested in protecting the peace than instigating violence. before you go connecting dots, perhaps you should rationally figure the odds.

    Portland’s Pottery Barn Rule: If a mayor won’t stop violence in his city, why should Trump let him off the hook?
    Portland is a bastion of white supremacy, according to The Atlantic, and Trump’s action is comparable to Ike’s in sending paratroopers to Little Rock.

    "Fake news" is the term Trump and his blowhards use. Not the "progressives" I smell more BS.

    Nobody on either side of the political spectrum argued this. Everyone knows it's a mess. The real question is where did it stem from. There are many videos out there showing peaceful protesters attacked by Military equipped Law Enforcement and many videos of riots and looting.

    Your political slant has been noted.
    Are you saying there were no peaceful protests...at all? Or are you saying that none of the protesters were peaceful?
    I have no idea what you're on about here. Who claimed that looting and deaths meant it was a peaceful protest?
    Well of course you do. And the facts back my assertions.

    This is not about what their intentions as individual police officers are. They follow orders. If they are told to shoot tear gas into the crowd they will do it. It is the intentions of their commanding officer. You have cities where the police show up in normal police attire and are calm, listen to the crowd and engage them in a non confrontational manner, some even bending the knee to show support to the protesters. In other cities you have a militarization of the police where they have tasered, shot tear gas and even shot rubber bullets at protesters who at the time were being peaceful. This is well documented across thousands of videos. So yes, you'll know what my answer will be because my answer is the right one.

    I know the odds. If the police or other Law Enforcement go in looking for a fight by dressing for a fight and strong-arming everyone they are going to get a fight. This event that happened the George Floyd is not the first of it's kind. These are not the actions of a few bad apples. This has been happening with the black community for a very long time and yes some of these protesters are very pissed. They have every right to be. Now I know these protests happened during the COVID pandemic and many of us felt cautious not to participate in the protests but if you were not deeply saddened and ashamed and angry with the people and events the caused the death of George Floyd then I simply believe your a piece of ****.
    Wake up to the real terrorism.

    ^Even though that entire "narrative" has been debunked 1000x over, I will add this:

    Besides, it all spends the same.

    Also, there will be plenty of time for the DNC to get "noble about ethics" AFTER Biden is Sworn In.
