From www.dailymail.co.uk:
A Black Lives Matter leader has declared war on the police and plans to release a blueprint for change that involves Black Panther style armed 'patrols' monitoring the behavior of officers on the streets, DailyMailTV can reveal.
Hawk Newsome, Chairman of BLM's Greater New York chapter, says the black rights group is 'mobilizing' its base and aims to develop a highly-trained 'military' arm to challenge police brutality head on.
In an exclusive interview, Newsome says the BLM movement has marched for years to wake people up to the realities of police brutality and oppression.
From www.studentofthegun.com/articles:
George Floyd is being pseudo-memorialized by liberals, moderates, and reasonable people all over socialist media. The memorializing is via tweets, memes, and other types of pointless virtue signaling.
People who either never heard of or never care one tiny iota about the fate of Justine Damond are screaming for “justice for George”. Where was the justice for Justine Damond when she was gunned down by black, Muslim Minneapolis Police Officer Mohamed Noor?
Are the same people memorializing George Floyd the people responsible for his death? I believe so.
