“Newsweek announced on May 31, 2017 that the Black Lives Matter movement will receive the Sydney Peace Prize, a ‘global peace prize championing justice and inequality.'”
The drum of hatred reverberates while the heartbeats of cops ache. Police lives extinguished by domestic terrorists incited by the Black Lives Matter scourge, inexplicably bolstered by the implicit-bias tones of Hillary Clinton, Barrack Obama, and Al Sharpton fueling the “war on police” ilk, are not in vain. Reckoning is being adjudicated in the courts, petitioned by a childless father and a Freedom Watch USA attorney.
The dad of slain Dallas police Officer Patrick Zamarripa filed a hefty $550 million lawsuit in US District Court last year, naming BLM as a hate-proliferating group responsible for perpetuating the war on police which culminated in the assassination of his son in July 2016. Seeking justice, Enrique Zamarripa praised his son’s dedication to duty and country, declaring, “He served three tours in Iraq, he protected his country, and he protected everybody. And he gave up his life doing that. When people were running away from the gunshots, he was running toward them.”
The gunshots to which the heartbroken father refers were fired from Micah Johnson, who then-Dallas police Chief David Brown cited was retribution for incidents in which white cops shot and killed black males. Through the myopic lens of MSM, one-sided reporting catered the BLM rhetoric that white cops solely and systematically targeted black males.
Describing Johnson’s hate-filled motivations, former-Chief Brown offered excerpts from post-arrest interviews with Johnson: “He said he was upset about recent police shootings. He was upset at white people. He wanted to kill white people, especially white [police] officers.” We saw footage of misguided murderous vengeance, and white cops were in the crosshairs.
For all his anti-white and anti-police hatred, Johnson tallied ambush-style assassinations of five law enforcement officers on a Dallas street. Seven other white cops were picked-off and seriously wounded by Johnson’s bullets. As white police officers used their bodies to shield citizens of all races from imminent gunfire, Johnson lay in wait, triggered by Black Lives Matter ideologies.
Per Mr. Klayman, background investigation determined Johnson “was and is a member of Defendant Nation of Islam (“NOI”) and Defendant New Black Panther Party (“NBPP”).
Freedom Watch USA
Former federal prosecutor and founder of Judicial Watch, Larry Klayman filed a class-action lawsuit in US District Court (Texas) on behalf of himself, Dallas police Sgt. Demetrick Pennie, “and police officers and other law enforcement persons of all races and ethnicities including but not limited to Jews, Christians and Caucasians,” for the purpose of suing “Defendants Louis Farrakhan, Nation of Islam, Al Sharpton, National Action Network, Black Lives Matter, Rashad Turner, Opal Tometi, Patrisse Cullors, Alicia Garza, Johnetta Elzie, Deray McKesson, New Black Panthers Party, Malik Zulu Shabazz, George Soros, Barack Hussein Obama, Eric Holder, and Hillary Clinton (collectively “Defendants” unless individually named) in their individual and official capacities where applicable.”
The thrust behind Klayman’s class-action lawsuit petitions the Courts for:
“damages and equitable relief arising out of the threats, severe bodily injury and/or deaths, future deaths, emotional harm, and imminent fears of death and/or serious bodily harm resulting from Defendants’ actions. Defendants have repeatedly incited their supporters and others to engage in threats of and attacks to cause serious bodily injury or death upon police officers and other law enforcement persons of all races and ethnicities including but not limited to Jews, Christians and Caucasians. Thus, Defendants, each and every one of them, jointly and severally, conspiring and/or acting in concert either expressly or otherwise, are inciting and causing serious bodily injury or death to police officers and other law enforcement persons of all races and ethnicities, Jews, and Caucasians.”
There is unflappable legitimacy in choking-off the invective, incitement and violence behind anti-police and racial prejudice, including hateful cops. As a construct of our justice system, seeking redress is not necessarily always about recompense. It is also about rooting out thuggery and any domestic terrorists who seek to undermine American government and our democratic way of life.
Such a democracy institutes the courts to place upon justice scales the arguments and debates, in inviolate sanctities, with rulings for all to adhere. The courts are relegated for these circumstances, not the streets of Dallas or any other jurisdiction where a sniper decides to exact his/her own brand of justice.
As we continue to witness embroiling standoffs between police and subversives hell-bent on revolution, many are boldly incited by BLM and that ilk. Their hands hold many firebrands igniting many fuses, all of which the US Supreme Court deemed illegal in Brandenburg v. Ohio, 395 U.S. 444. In Brandenburg, SCOTUS considered the vitriol of Ku Klux Klan (KKK) and how the group’s ideologies propagated hatred for a race not of their own. The appellant and KKK principal in this case, Mr. Brandenburg, “challenged the constitutionality of the criminal syndicalism statute under the First and Fourteenth Amendments to the United States Constitution.” His case went before a few judicial bodies before it landed before the US Supreme Court. The Court scrutinized “criminal syndicalism.”
“Criminal syndicalism” is a doctrine based in radicalism “which advocates crime, sabotage, violence or other unlawful methods of terrorism as a means of accomplishing industrial or political reform.” Does that sound like the platform of BLM and cohorts? Sounds strikingly
applicable, hence Mr. Klayman’s inclusion of Brandenburg v. Ohio to support the basis of the class-action lawsuits we are discussing.
Ultimately, in the Brandenburg case, SCOTUS analyzed the “distinctions between mere
advocacy and incitement to imminent lawless action.” No matter the distinction, assassinated cops provide the definitive answer, and BLM activists are catalysts.
Warriors of Truth
Milwaukee Sheriff David Clarke, Jr. makes no bones about how he sees BLM. In response to BLM, Sheriff Clarke coined the phrase “blue lives matter” followed by his sarcasm-laden “black lies matter” insinuation. Both denote his crystalline sentiments pertaining to law enforcement and BLM. Clarke particularly denounced BLM when, in a Fox News Insider report, he said “A war has been declared on the American police officer, and it’s been fueled by this anti-police sentiment.”
In that same Fox News exchange, Sheriff Clarke referred to the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), suggesting it “add [BLM] to the list of hate groups in America.” I checked the SPLC’s list of hate groups and found the KKK among the listed cells. Black Lives Matter was not included. Not yet.
In a May 2017 article published by The Guardian, Sheriff Clarke likened BLM to the KKK, echoing exactly the comparisons made in the class-action suit filed by Mr. Klayman et al.
Synonymously, former Chicago police Superintendent Garry McCarthy publicly condemned BLM, stating the “hate group” is accountable for generating a “political atmosphere of anti-police sentiment.” In a report by The Hill, McCarthy went on-air at radio station AM970 in New York in January 2017, saying, “So what’s happening, and this is ironic, is that a movement with the goal of saving black lives at this point is getting black lives taken, because 80 percent of our murder victims here in Chicago are male blacks. Less than one percent of all shootings in this city involve police.”
Intrinsically, Texas Lt. Governor Dan Patrick stated it is a combined force of social media and BLM: “I do blame people on social media…for their hatred toward police. I do blame former Black Lives Matter protests.”
Sydney Peace Prize
Strangely, Newsweek announced on May 31, 2017 that the Black Lives Matter movement will receive the Sydney Peace Prize, a “global peace prize championing justice and inequality.” The award lists the work of Patrisse Cullors, Alicia Garza and Opal Tometi in founding the BLM movement in 2014, stemming from the Trayvon Martin case. Tometi, Cullors and Garza are all listed as defendants in the class-action lawsuits. Their names are listed before co-defendants George Soros (“financier”), Eric Holder, Barrack Obama and Hillary Clinton.
With this so-called “peace prize,” I suspect the lawyers representing BLM and the other named parties in the lawsuits of which they are defendants will puff, prop and prize themselves as peacemakers: “See, Your Honor, we got this from the land down under. Surely we are good people and mean no harm, right?”
How do you think these “War on police” lawsuits will play out? Will the day come when the Southern Poverty Law Center lists BLM as a “hate group”? Does BLM have a blank check from George Soros?
