Movement for Black Lives: Feds targeted BLM protesters

Movement leaders and experts said the prosecution of protesters over the past year continues a century-long practice by the federal government, rooted in structural racism, to suppress Black social movements via the use of surveillance tactics and other mechanisms.

“It is undeniable that racism plays a role,” Enyia said. “It is structurally built into the fabric of this country and its institutions, which is why it’s been so difficult to eradicate. It’s based on institutions that were designed around racism and around the devaluing of Black people and the devaluing of Black lives.”

A key finding of the report was that the push to use federal charges against protesters came from top-down directives from former President Donald Trump and former Attorney General William Barr. M4BL and the Creating Law Enforcement Accountability & Responsibility clinic, also known as CLEAR, found that in 92.6% of the cases, there were equivalent state level charges that could have been brought against defendants.

Race data was only available for 27%, or 89 of the defendants. And of that number, 52% were identified as Black. Of the Black defendants, 91% were identified as male. Portland, Oregon, led in the number of charges brought for protest-related activity, making up 29% of federal charges. Chicago, Las Vegas, Washington, D.C., and Minneapolis followed.

“What we saw in Illinois and across the country was this reverberation of Black power. And so, at all costs, the state is about dismantling that right, dismantling that in every possible way,” he said.

Ok… And?

We only promote white supremacist rights and terrorists to attack the Capital.

Would you look at that? A real & observable issue of systemic racism that CRT genuinely has something to say about!

Damn scammers

I’m pretty sure none of US are surprised🤷🏾‍♀️

Do your job & find a single person arrested for simply protesting.

BLM is a terrorist organization.

And our Justice Department is giving the maga white insurrectionist probation, and vacation time in Mexico. America is f__ked up to the core.

Certainly not after those 'time served' sentences for January 6, 2021 Sedition BLM

Have we settled this whole Taliban thing yet? Women being killed.....

Unsurprising. But what would be surprising, is if all (& I mean ALL) of the participants & enablers, of the “Capitol Tour” are held accountable, too.

We got people in jail right now for a little more than trespassing on January 6th. Just saying.

Yet Proud Boys can cause all the mayhem and injury they like …

GulliAz He's a flaming This is a hate crime and although few really know the origins of BLM it's no excuse to vandalize or terrorize advocates.
