The Daily Caller wrote:Black Lives Matter protesters marching on the Minnesota state fair on Saturday spewed violent anti-cop rhetoric just hours after a Harris County, Tex. sheriff’s deputy was ambushed and executed at a Houston-area gas station.
“Pigs in a blanket, fry ’em like bacon,” activists with the St. Paul, Minn. branch of Black Lives Matter chanted while marching behind a group of police officers down a highway just south of the state fair grounds.
Carrying signs reading “End White Supremacy” and “Black Lives Matter,” the protesters railed against racial inequality, the criminal justice system and policing. Besides issuing the chant calling cops by the pejorative “pig,” the protesters repeated the names of several blacks who have been killed by police in recent years.
The activists sang out the violent chorus chant just hours after a lone gunman shot 47-year-old Harris County sheriff’s deputy Darren Goforth while he was getting gas. The suspect approached the 10-year veteran from behind at around 8:30 p.m. Friday and shot him in the back of the head. He then shot Goforth several more times as he lay on the ground.
Goforth leaves behind a wife and two children.
During a press conference on Saturday — before protesters in St. Paul called for cops’ deaths — Harris County sheriff Ron Hickman condemned what he characterized as “some of the very dangerous national rhetoric that’s out there today.”
“So any point where the rhetoric ramps up to the point that calculated, cold-blooded, assassination of police officers happen, this rhetoric has gotten out of control,” he added.
“We’ve heard ‘black lives matter,’ ‘all lives matter’ — well, cops’ lives matter too. So why don’t we just drop the qualifier and say ‘lives matter,’ and take that to the bank.”
For those of you who don't know, "pigs in a blanket" is a reference to dead police officers and was posted online by Ismaaiyl Brinsley before he assassinated two NYPD officers.
So, even after a Texas sheriff's deputy was gunned down, BLM begins chanting "Pigs in a blanket, fry 'em like bacon." They're practically calling for violence against police officers. Not to mention they idolize a convicted cop killer, Assata Shakur, at most every event and have a quote from her plastered on their twitter page. They're not acting like a reform-oriented organization (although it's debatable if they ever were) anymore, now they are acting more like a hate group.
Most of the mainstream media has refused to cover this story, but I can bet you that if protesters had made chants implying the lynching of blacks so soon after a black man had been killed by police, they would be all over it.
What are yall's opinions on this? Has BLM crossed the line?
