Rashad Turner Had Wanted To Be A Cop. He Founded A Black Lives Matter Chapter Instead

On a hot day recently, standing at the edge of St. Paul's Indian Mounds Regional Park amid the crackling of fireworks, he explained why."I remember a time when I was 18," he says."I had these tight gray umpire pants on."

A block from his grandmother's house, he slowed at a stop sign to talk to a young man he recognized from the neighborhood.The kid had been in a fight, Turner says. And as they were talking, police showed up. They checked Turner's backseat and saw a BB gun, which he used for picking off squirrels on the golf course with friends.The officers arrested him and tried to book him on weapons charges.

Even still, Turner kept going. He graduated from the police academy in St. Paul. He decided it was time to leave home. He applied for a job in Tulsa, Okla., and went for an interview. He says he aced the written test. A panel interview followed.

Excellent ACTION STEP!

Terrorist. NPR supports Terrorism. MAGA

'Black this...Black that...Black everything.' This is so played out it's become a joke. Reminder: 87% of America is NOT BLACK.

I passed a few NAVY boards, even when I ACED them I was never met with an applause. Rarely, was I even met with a smile in a crowd.

Ever since I was 5 years old, I wanted to be a homicide detective. I joined a youth cadet corps at 14 and quit 2 weeks later after hearing the cops in charge laugh with us kids about horrific things done to Americans at the hands of themselves and other police departments.

So, a victim of leftist gun control laws.

cops are your friends until you're in the crosshairs...then they are just cops again and it doesn't matter what came before

I know, not all cops... but these days, the cops aren't the good guys. They're just another gang out there that's even more dangerous than most gangs because they have the veneer of legitimacy.

Another terrorist ? BLM is funded by George Soros a well know nazi collaborator,he even bragged about how to turn Jews to naziz in ww2.

Note: We have deleted a previous tweet and updated this post to clarify that Rashad Turner was a former police department intern at the time.

So didn't exactly change paths.

Good way to turn a negative into a positive!

It takes a special kind of person to be a professional law enforcement officer; and Rashad Turner appears to be that kind of person.

……….So he was dirty...……….

Million stories like this that transcend race...but that wouldn’t fit with your agenda.
