Earlier this week I reported that the ACLU was suing to preserve the right to riot. Now the faux civil rights organization is offering direct support for a group of rioters in Memphis and an armed black thug who tried to kill law enforcement agents. It couldn’t be more clear that the ACLU genuinely believes that that rioting and trying to murder cops is a Constitutionally protected right. Somebody should tell them that the NWA “F*ck Tha Police” amendment was never ratified.
On Wednesday in the Frayser neighborhood of Memphis, TN members of the US Marshals Service tried to arrest 20-year-old fugitive from justice Brandon Webber. He decided to not go quietly, instead opting to ram the Marshals’ vehicles with his own car. He then jumped out and pointed a handgun at them and was quickly put down. This justified use of force then prompted a full-scale riot from the black residents of the neighborhood in which 36 police officers were injured.
Looking at the facts of the case the ACLU determined that Webber was the victim and the rioters were justified in attacking Memphis police officers who had nothing to do with the shooting. Here’s an absolutely insane statement from the most anti-American group in the country:
The ACLU of Tennessee extends its condolences to the family and friends of Brandon Webber. The loss of any and every young person’s life is a tragedy.
While facts continue to emerge about the details of Mr. Webber’s killing at the hands of one or more United States marshals, many questions arise. Were any attempts made at de-escalation or resolving the situation in a different way? Was shooting Mr. Webber over a dozen times, if reports are accurate, really necessary?
A tragedy would be like if a lightning hit a tree and then it fell on Webber crushing him to death. He tried to murder federal law enforcement agents and was shot in self-defense. How do you deescalate a crazy man pointing a gun and what is the appropriate number of rounds to fire at said crazy man? You shoot until the threat is neutralized.
After accusing the US Marshals Service of denying Webber due process, the ACLU complained that people might get the impression that scumbag Webber was a scumbag:
No doubt in the coming days, we will hear more and more about Brandon Webber. We will hear about the warrants out for his arrest. We will hear about things he said on social media or things he is accused of doing. We will hear less about his children, or his parents, or his dreams for what his life could have been.
Is there anyone who thinks if this asshole didn’t get himself killed he was going on to do anything productive with his life? Actually, the ACLU seems to think he could have been the next Obama if only those racist US Marshals hadn’t shot him.
The ACLU also had some serious love for those rioters who attacked the police:
Official answers could take months to come out – in the meantime, the community is reeling. The response in Frayser to the shooting last night was clearly one of pain, of frustration, of anger.
While we in no way condone violence against police officers, the boiling point reached by some individuals in the crowd last night is the consequence of decades of injustice, discrimination and violence against Black people in Memphis and beyond.
So it’s okay to riot and assault police officers if the rioters believe they are victims of racism? Apparently so:
Of course people in Frayser are upset and angry. We should all be angry.
To ignore the pain of those protesting in Memphis – instead responding with a militarized show of police force – only illustrates and reinforces the problem.
The ACLU is serious about this:
To stem the erosion of trust between the community and law enforcement, it is incumbent on Memphis leaders to start listening.
This means acknowledging the community’s legitimate pain and anger.
It means allowing space for community members to grieve together and to protest peacefully together, without facing assault-style weapons and riot gear.
If you are keeping track at home, the official ACLU’s position is this: The US Marshals Service should had stood down and let Webber shoot them because he was black and maybe had hopes and dreams. In addition the Memphis police should not have called in the riot squad and stood there as black people threw bricks at them because the black rioters were in pain over racism.
The ACLU obviously believes that black people have a 1st Amendment right to destroy property and attack police officers, which begs the question: what’s next? Will they say an illegal alien who rapes a little girl has a 14th Amendment right to privacy or that a Muslim Jihadi who decapitates a coworker is protected by freedom of religion? It seems like I’m joking but I’m almost certain they have made these claims numerous times in their many frivolous lawsuits.
