Don't be silly. Black and brown people can't have one off crazies suffering from mental illness. If they did how could every instance be confirmation of their violent culture and their inspiration pinned to a group we don't like?
CNN law enforcement analyst Harry Houck disagreed, saying the anti-police rhetoric is undeniable. He cited a protest in Minnesota over the weekend in which demonstrators held a banner saying "Black Lives Matter" and chanted, "Pigs in a blanket! Fry 'em like bacon!" Texas state Rep. Garnet Coleman said it was "unfortunate" the sheriff tied Goforth's death to the "Black Lives Matter" movement -- or anything that has to do with police brutality -- so quickly. But the sheriff had a point, he said. "In general, I think the overall rhetoric is overheated, and it only leads to more injury and death," Coleman said Monday. "We're going to have to figure this out, whether it's training for police or having a sit-down to decrease the rhetoric -- particularly if it discusses violence at all."
http://www.startribune.com/police-u...-chant-at-black-lives-matter-march/323465911/ A short video posted on Twitter shows that at one point in the march, at least several protesters were at the front carrying a banner and shouting, “Pigs in a blanket, fry ’em like bacon!” as the camera pans to show police on bikes, squad cars and a utility vehicle. ... The man who shot the video, who wanted to be identified only as Niko, said the chant occurred near the end of the demonstration as protesters walked away from the fairgrounds. He said it lasted about 30 seconds, and he added that when the chanting ended, a police officer laughed and made a joke about bacon. Rashad Turner, the lead organizer of Black Lives Matter St. Paul, who helped set up the protest, said the chant was not a threat against officers’ lives. “It was a chant,” Turner said. “I think that the crazy thing is that there’s all this uproar about rhetoric but there isn’t uproar about the facts. … Just because they provide us with their self-appointed escort does not mean it erases the fact that they are the deadliest police department in the state.” Beginning in 2009, St. Paul police have shot and killed 11 men, nine of whom were people of color. No other law enforcement agency in Minnesota has used deadly force more often over the past six years. Saturday’s march was the latest in a series of Black Lives Matter rallies and protests around the country, which have largely centered on police brutality in the aftermath of police killings of black men and women across the country. Monday afternoon, when asked about the chant by an anchorwoman on CNN, Turner restated his concern that too much focus was being placed on “rhetoric.” ... When asked by CNN if the chant by protesters in St. Paul Saturday incites violence, Turner said that the Black Lives Matter movement does not condone violent acts. “We do not want to see black people being killed,” Turner told the Star Tribune. “We don’t want to see cops being killed.”
So why were they chanting that particular phrase Denny? It seems obvious to me that it would be inciteful.
Saying even once is just as bad as saying it many times. Also, the Black lives matter protest in NY said "Kill cops", the black panthers in TX came out with assault weapons and mentioned pigs in a planet as well.
The question is, will he be deemed mentally competent to stand trial this time? What a terrible thing he has done....
Free speech has its consequences. The people seemed to be joking with the officers and the officers took it that way.
Did you know I already posted this? Of course not because you assume I only post black on white crime
For you it's like a "what have you done for me lately" type of thing. I've really only seen you post all this black crime crap lately. And you are REALLY on a kick for some reason. It's not just open carry Mags. It's in almost every instance when we have police contact. The stop and frisk numbers speak for themselves: http://www.nyclu.org/content/stop-and-frisk-data In 2013, New Yorkers were stopped by the police 191,558 times. 169,252 were totally innocent (88 percent). 104,958 were black (56 percent). 55,191 were Latino (29 percent). 20,877 were white (11 percent).
Make no mistake about my stance. I definitely think there is an issue with police in most areas having bias against minorities. I have posted videos about this as well. But what I find more troubling is that black cops are showing the same "race profiling" as white cops. In fact, the large riots in Milwaukee had 3 officers involved and charged that were black. You can say this is just antidotal, but this is false. The real problem is that these cities have the highest crime rate and usually the most violent criminals. And the racial profiling is mainly in these high crime areas.
The man who shot the video, who wanted to be identified only as Niko, said the chant occurred near the end of the demonstration as protesters walked away from the fairgrounds. He said it lasted about 30 seconds, and he added that when the chanting ended, a police officer laughed and made a joke about bacon. If they're all about shooting cops, they'd have, you know, shot cops.
