Black Lives Matter? Eh?

[El Kabong]

Breibart. Oh...... ok.

The initial quote from Breibart:

"The Black Lives Matter movement filed a lawsuit in federal court on Thursday to prevent President Donald Trump from sending 200 federal law enforcement officials to help Mayor Lori Lightfoot fight surging crime in the city."

Wow.... sounds terrible.

Let's check in on another source.

Initial quote from ABC Eyewitness News in Chicago:

"A collection of Chicago activist groups want a judge to block federal agents sent to the city to combat violent crime by President Donald Trump from interfering in or policing protests, arguing in a lawsuit filed Thursday that that the surge will inhibit residents' ability to hold demonstrations."


Whoa! Sounds a lot different.

So the suit is actually to keep the federal agents from "interfering in or policing protests." Ok.

Another quote from that article:

"The lawsuit also asks a judge to prevent agents in Chicago from making arrests or detaining people without probable cause and to require agents to identify themselves and their agency before taking either action and explain why someone is being arrested."



News bias is a terrible thing.

I'm not going to comment further on this at the time....... as I think further comment on my part is unnecessary.

Oh so it's news bias is it? Well let's check on some other sources and see just what the heck is happening in Chicago right now shall we?

Chicago Murders and Shootings Up, Overall Crime Down Halfway Through 2020, Police Say
https://www.nbcchicago.com/news/loca...e-say/2298155/
Six months into the year, 329 people have been killed in Chicago, an increase of about 34% from the 246 homicides during the same period last year, according to police. Shootings in that period rose by about 42%, from 978 in 2019 to 1384 in 2020.

Homicides up 34% in CHICAGO a place previously called "ChIraq" due to the violence in the city. And shootings rose by 42%. Now I wonder who golly gee gosh darn, just WHO is getting shot and killed there?

Trump announces 'surge' of federal officers to Chicago as he campaigns on 'law and order' mantle
https://www.cnn.com/2020/07/22/polit...que/index.html
Using ominous rhetoric and dark language to describe cities run by Democrats as rife with crime and violence, Trump suggested Wednesday he had little option but to take steps those leaders haven't to save innocent lives.
"No mother should ever have to cradle her dead child in her arms simply because politicians refused to do what is necessary to secure their neighborhood and to secure their city," he said during a mid-afternoon event in the East Room.
Trump's campaign has increasingly turned to dark themes of violence and chaos as it seeks to falsely paint his Democratic rival Joe Biden as anti-police. Since protests spread throughout the country following the murder of George Floyd, Trump has worked to cultivate a tough-on-crime message that includes the federal law enforcement efforts now underway.
Speaking at the same event as Trump, Attorney General Bill Barr criticized what he called "extreme reactions that have demonized police" in the wake of Floyd's killing, which he blamed for "a significant increase in violent crime in many cities."

Trump was announcing the expansion of the Operation Legend initiative, a Justice Department program first established in Kansas City earlier this month that utilizes federal law enforcement officers from the FBI, US Marshals Service, Drug Enforcement Administration and Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives to combat violent crime.
Trump said he was dispatching additional federal law enforcement into other American cities, including Chicago, to tamp down on "heinous crimes of violence."

Surely you can read past CNN's reporting slant using the term "ominous" & "dark"...seems The President wishes for fewer children to be murdered and for property not to be wantonly destroyed by mobs. But hey I guess he just has a hard on for locking people up...people who are just "protesting" instead of "committing heinous crimes of violence"



28 dead...non violent protests "mostly peaceful" they said.


I don't have to look very far or very hard to find violent rioters. It's far from peaceful and in Chicago it's not rioters or protesters that is the concern it's malicious violent activity which statistically is on a hell of an increase AND if Trump sat back and did nothing what do you think would be the narrative? It would be "This is Donald Trump's America, he allows this to occur" so he's sending in federal law enforcement because they hopefully won't be hamstrung by the mayors who are participating and encouraging this bullshit.

I spoke with my good buddy who is from Portland last night...he's ashamed and embarrassed of how his city has responded. He's no die hard Trumper either, he's more of a "Don't make me vote for this guy, don't make me, I don't want to...awww shit I've got no other choice" kind of voter and he's fucking PISSED at his city and it's shitdick Mayor.
