Black Lives Matter Bails On LGBT Event Because There Is Too Many Cops

[TheStruggle]

Black Lives Matter Bay Area organizers today said they were withdrawing as Grand Marshals for this weekend's San Francisco Pride Parade in response to an increased police presence and security measures announced in the wake of a mass shooting at a gay nightclub in Orlando.

Black Lives Matter was chosen as an organizational grand marshal for the parade in honor of its theme, "For Racial and Economic Justice."

"The Black Lives Matter network is grateful to the people of San Francisco for choosing us, we choose you too," said Malkia Cyril, a member of Black Lives Matter. "As queer people of color, we are disproportionately targeted by both vigilante and police violence. We know first hand that increasing the police presence at Pride does not increase safety for all people."

The withdrawal, announced at a press conference Friday, was joined by St. James Infirmary, a group that provides medical and social services to sex workers, and TGI Justice Project, an advocacy group for transsexual, intersex and gender nonconformist people in jails and prisons.

while I'm sure that's worded as 'we're scared of the police' it's coming off as 'we'd like to freely assault/harass people'....

So if the cops had not provide increased security and anything happen it would be the cops fault because they didn't provide enough security.

criminals do not like to be around a bunch of cops???
shocker

 

[ObsoleteSoul]

Sorry sacks of crap. Never truly caring about anything other than their small group. Maybe if they actually gave one good fuck about any other group, I would view them differently. As it stands; they can go kick rocks.

They badly need to learn the difference between good police and bad, and if they think all cops are bad, there's no hope for them.

 

[faustian]

lmao

Insane Liberals: Civilians don't need guns!

Insane Liberals: Police don't keep people safe!

So uh, what the fuck exactly is your plan to keep bad people from causing harm to good folk?

BLM is the stupidest mainstream movement in the US in my lifetime.

God these people are retarded. What an embarrassment.

 

[Still your boy]

They are 100% right.


Time and time again, we have seen Cops beat up, kill, harass black people.


So when they say that more police presence does not = more increase safety for all people, they are right.


The Cop brotherhood can't be trusted, we already know they are corrupt and protect themselves no matter how wrong they are.


Time and time again, we see ruthless cops get off scott free or with the less sentence time possible when they do something malicious towards who ever regardless of color.

BLM is becoming comical...oh wait, they always were. What a bunch of wankers

How did the cops do in Orlando?

 

[Still your boy]

How did the cops do in Orlando?

Considering all the people that died...Not that well tbh.


But keep bringing this up, we all know the cop brotherhood doesn't apply the law to their own.

 

[BrotherClaudio]

BLM is getting close to Westboro Baptist Church levels of retardedness. all lives matter, being black doesn't give you the right to act like an imbecile. fuck BLM

Lol, yeah that reflects greatly on their organization. Accept "A huge honor" as they call it, then flake out before the event, because of too many police. As if the police are going to make it a point to beat a significant number of BLM members just for fun....BLM is a f*cking joke.

People who support BLM believe the cops kill black people for sport. You can't reason why stupidity

I can't believe they thought that even with all the public attention that will be on the pride parade.
