Better late than never. The terrorist group known as Black Lives Matter, who have been destroying cities across the country for at least 7 years has finally been classified as a terrorist organization. A law enforcement training group pinned BLM with the terrorist tag, which has set the left off, crying racism. Nobody who opposes BLM being labeled a terrorist organization however can explain how the terror they unleash isn’t terrorism.
The AP reports:
A prominent law enforcement training group is promoting a lengthy research document riddled with falsehoods and conspiracies that urges local police to treat Black Lives Matter activists as terrorists plotting a violent revolution.
The document distributed by the International Law Enforcement Educators and Trainers Association contains misinformation and inflammatory rhetoric that could incite officers against protesters and people of color, critics said. It alleges Black Lives Matter and antifa, an umbrella term for leftist militants, are “revolutionary movements whose aims are to overthrow the U.S. government” and claims they are planning “extreme violence.”
The association in October sent a link to the 176-page paper, “Understanding Antifa and Urban Guerrilla Warfare,” in an email news update to its thousands of members.
What am I missing here? Black Lives Matter and Antifa are revolutionary movements whose aims are to overthrow the U.S. government. They are not only planning extreme violence but have been carrying out acts of extremest violence for years. Where’s the misinformation?
Nobody can say, but the left are pretty pissed about it and anything they don’t like is automatically racist.
“It’s stunning. It’s distressing in many ways. It’s untethered to reality. I worry that it leads to people dying unnecessarily,” said Phillip Atiba Goff, CEO of the Center for Policing Equity.
“This is disturbing to read but not at all surprising to me. This is the type of thinking that is sadly pretty prominent within police culture,” said Scott Roberts, Color of Change senior director of criminal justice campaigns.
“This document is below the belt because of how much misinformation there is, how many conspiracy theories there are, how much violence it promotes and how many reasons it gives to justify dehumanizing people,” said black activist Sherice Nelson.
[Nelson] said the paper repeatedly promotes “wildly outlandish” claims about Black Lives Matter, shows cultural ignorance by falsely conflating the movement with antifa, and primes officers to use force by painting both as terrorists plotting to kill police.
Again, where are these “wildly outlandish” claims? Black Lives Matter and Antifa have been joined at the hip this past summer, burning cop cars, looting business, and destroying cities. BLM not only demands “Defund the Police” but also chants about killing cops and has in fact murdered police officers.
The editorializing AP finally got around to naming the things about this report it claims are disinformation:
Among its many unsupported claims is that the two movements have “trained, dedicated snipers” stationed in certain cities, are fronts for Russia and China, and planned attacks before and after last month’s presidential election.
The paper claims that those who participated in months of protests earlier this year in Portland and Seattle were “useful idiots” designed to give cover to the “hard-core, terrorist trained troops” that would follow. “Extreme acts of violence are expected and called for,” the document warns.
The paper claims that military officials who served in Iraq and Afghanistan are concerned about the movements because they “have witnessed these types of terrorist groups organizing, creating insurgencies and the horrible consequences of it.”
The FBI is largely “clueless” about the nature of their threat and, along with the news media, has wrongly focused attention on violence carried out by white supremacists, it argues.
I can’t find a false statement in there at all.
Black Lives Matter is an ideology-driven group who uses intimidation and violence to create fear in advancement of their agenda. That’s the textbook definition of a terrorist organization. If it loots like a duck and shoots like a duck, it’s a duck.
