Black Lives Matter, a political outfit masquerading as a social justice group, has issued a new list of 7 “demands.” As if there were any doubt, BLM has made it clear that it is a radical arm of the Democratic Party.

When You See Where George Floyd Juror Got His Anti-Cop T-Shirt You’ll Understand Why He Lied to Get on the Jury
The human symbol of why Derek Chauvin needs a new trial in the death of George Floyd is now holding up his hands, backing away, and claiming, hey, don’t look at me, I don’t even remember that George Floyd t-shirt I wore to a Washington, D.C., rally.
Anatomy of a Crime Wave Baltimore’s experiment with de-policing has been disastrous—and deadly.
A decade ago, Baltimoreans became lab rats in a fateful experiment: their elected officials decided to treat the city’s long-running crime problem with many fewer cops. In effect, Baltimore began to defund its police and engage in de-policing long before those terms gained popular currency.
This experiment has been an abject failure. Since 2011, nearly 3,000 Baltimoreans have been murdered—one of every 200 city residents over that period. The annual homicide rate has climbed from 31 per 100,000 residents to 56—ten times the national rate. And 93 percent of the homicide victims of known race over this period were black.
8 Righteous Reasons Why Derek Chauvin Deserves a New Trial –– and That Juror’s Shirt Is Only One of Them
Former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin has moved for a new trial in the killing of George Floyd after yet another juror admitted bias in the case. But that’s only part of the reason why the former cop may get a new trial.
Nolte: NJ Police Officers Fired and Suspended for Calling BLM ‘Terrorists’
“They are terrorists. They hate me. They hate my uniform. They don’t care if I die,” wrote now-fired police officer Sara Erwin on Facebook.
For replying to the post, a second Hopewell Township, NJ, police officer, Sgt. Mandy Grey, was suspended for six months and will be demoted.
WaPo engages in repulsive puffery on Al Sharpton
My guess is that Jeff Bezos does not want Al Sharpton rallying support for unionization of his workforce, which now numbers well over a million souls. A buck-an-hour increase for that many people really adds up fast.
Maybe that explains this article in the Washington Post, shamelessly promoting and (dare I say it?) whitewashing the career of a race-baiter, pogrom-inciter demagogue like Al Sharpton.
Combatting violent crime is risky business in the age of BLM
Last year, the homicide count in Washington, D.C. reached a 36-year high. So far this year, D.C. homicides are up 38 percent from the same time last year.
During the past weekend alone, at least 11 people were shot in D.C. Three of them died.
D.C. mayor Muriel Bowser says she will respond by pouring extra police officers into six historically crime-ridden neighborhoods. The idea is to head off violence.

Louisville diner pulls gun on armed BLM protestors
A diner pulled a gun on armed Black Lives Matter protesters when they stormed the outdoor area of an upscale Louisville restaurant on the day of the Kentucky Derby.
The demonstrators were marching to Churchill Downs to demand justice for Breonna Taylor, who was shot dead by local cops in a botched drug raid last year, according to the Louisville Courier-Journal.
BLM releases new list of demands, including permanently banning Trump from ‘all digital media platforms’
Black Lives Matter released an updated set of demands and is giving people the opportunity to sign their name onto the new list.
“We are joining Rep. Ilhan Omar, Rep. Ayanna Pressley, Rep. Cori Bush, Rep. Jamaal Bowman, and others who are demanding Trump be immediately convicted in the United States Senate,” reads the first demand on the BLM website. “Trump must also be banned from holding elected office in the future.”
The group also called on former President Donald Trump to be permanently banned from “all digital media platforms,” arguing he uses the platforms “recklessly and irresponsibly to spread lies and disinformation.”
Derek Chauvin’s legal team requests new trial, alleging jury misconduct
The legal team for former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin, who was convicted of murdering George Floyd last month, has filed a motion in a Minneapolis court requesting a new trial on multiple grounds, including jury misconduct.
In the filing, Chauvin’s attorney says the former officer should have a new trial in the “interests of justice; abuse of discretion that deprived the Defendant of a fair trial; prosecutorial and jury misconduct; errors of law at trial; and a verdict that is contrary to law.”
Chauvin Juror Lied To Court About Attending BLM Protest Boosting Hope Of Appeal
Derek Chauvin’s hope of appeal boosted after picture emerges of juror at BLM rally wearing ‘Get Your Knee Off Our Necks’ T-shirt despite telling court he’d never been on a march
Questions have been raised about the impartiality of one of the 12 jurors who convicted Derek Chauvin of murder after it was revealed he attended a rally last summer where George Floyd’s relatives addressed the crowd.
A photo, posted on social media, shows Brandon Mitchell attending an August 28 event in Washington, DC, to commemorate Martin Luther King Jr’s ‘I Have a Dream’ speech during the 1963 March on Washington.
It shows Mitchell, a high school basketball coach, standing with two other men and wearing a T-shirt with a picture of King and the words, ‘GET YOUR KNEE OFF OUR NECKS’ and ‘BLM’. He is also wearing a baseball cap printed with Black Lives Matter.
Video captures Black motorist’s racist tirade against Hispanic deputy
A black motorist was reportedly caught on video unleashing a racist tirade against an LA County sheriff’s deputy who pulled her over for using a cell phone while driving.
“You’re always going to be a Mexican. You’ll never be white, you know that, right?” the woman is heard telling the deputy in San Dimas after he pulled her Mercedes over, KABC reported.
Black Lives Matter Minnesota says Derek Chauvin ‘guilty’ verdict not enough, calls for reparations
“It’s about direct cash payments,” Trahern Crews, a spokesperson for BLM Minnesota, told Insider. “Reparations is cause for a cessation, which means stop killing them, or stop harming them.”
When Will Activists (and the Media) Get Honest About Police Shootings?
Minutes before Derek Chauvin was convicted on all three counts of murder and manslaughter, Ma’Khia Bryant, a black teenage girl in Columbus, Ohio, was shot dead by police. Almost immediately, enraged protestors gathered outside police headquarters. “Say Her Name!” they chanted. The New York Times reported that the girl’s grieving mother, Paula Bryant, had told WBNS that her daughter was “a very loving, peaceful little girl.”
In an attempt to correct a tendentious version of events immediately promoted by civil rights attorney Ben Crump (and uncritically repeated by the Times) in which the young victim was described as unarmed, the Columbus police department took the unusual step of releasing the officer’s body-worn camera video the same day.
Prosecutors seek longer sentence for Derek Chauvin
The Minnesota Attorney General’s Office argued in a new court filing Friday that Chauvin, who was convicted on murder and manslaughter charges last week, “inflicted gratuitous pain, and caused psychological distress to Mr. Floyd and to the bystanders.”
