The Rev. Samuel Mosteller, photographed at a 2013 rally at the Georgia State Capitol, on Tuesday advocated African-American families arm themselves in response to recent police shootings of unarmed black men.
The head of the Georgia chapter of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, founded by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. to promote nonviolent social change, on Tuesday advocated African-American families “exercise their Second Amendment rights” in response to recent police shootings of unarmed black men.
“You stand there, (police) shoot. You run, they shoot. We’re going to have to take a different tack,” Samuel Mosteller, longtime president of the Georgia SCLC, told reporters.
The remarks came one week after 23-year-old Goodyear employee Nicholas Thomas was fatally shot by Smyrna police serving an arrest warrant on a probation violation. Police say Thomas tried to run them over in a customer’s Maserati, though lawyers hired by the dead man’s family have challenged the official account.
Earlier this month 27-year-old Anthony Hill, who suffered from bipolar disorder, was shot and killed by a DeKalb County police officer who alleged the Afghanistan war veteran charged him in a threatening manner. Hill was nude and unarmed at the time....

shooting at a police officer trying to arrest you...stupid on many levels
“An armed society is a police society”
Typo?
Or perhaps a Freudian slip? LOL!
“You may be right morally and possibly even legally, but everybody should keep in mind that in practical terms you have very little right to self-defense against a cop.”
And you should keep it in mind that if you are a white person, you may very soon be in the minority...
Let’s say typo.
More good people with guns, generally a good thing with possible occasional negative side effects.
More bad people with guns, indisputably a bad thing.
One hundred black thugs shot and killed by cops annually vs. 6000-7000 black males killed by other black males annually. But of course to race baiters like Mosteller a few questionable cases of cops shooting black males is far more important than the many thousands of black males killed by other black males. Disgusting
Go to the white hut to get your reparations... that is where their leader lives.
He has incited more discord and inspired more insurrection than anyone in the country.
Six years of punishing siege now against traditions and institutions we have held dear for a long, long time. Six years of abuse and destruction of all that is good. Six years of twisting the truth and bald faced lies. Six years of being kicked around every stinking day with some new knife at our throats. One leftist agenda after another that goes unchallenged. Gun running, Illegals, NSA, EPA, IRS, Common Core, Queer rights, Iranians, ISIL crap, a lawless DOJ, constant humiliation of a once great nation... on and on and on. Add to it all a congress that has been castrated and for sale to the highest bidder. Their show trials amount to nothing. Simply a spectacle for the weak minded. Every day something new and something bad. The religion of the left is nihilism...destruction, there is no hope in it.
When do we say enough? How do we stop it? The law is not on our side, we have trusted the political process and lost... again. The cities of the East and West are against the rest of us. It seems time to go our separate ways. Congress has usurped their duty and the courts all the way to the supreme have been packed or bought or intimidated... what next? An article V convention... right, when and how long does that take... if it succeeds? Who thinks that a Cruz can actually be elected with the press making public opinion? Who thinks there can be a free and honest election? Not me. The elections are being stacked against the people who work and pay our own way with each new obongo sponsored illegal. It is likely that the ones who have figured out how to vote themselves a living from us now out number us anyway. They have been told we have more than we deserve and so their theft is justified.
For decades now we and our parents trusted the system and the people we elected to do the right thing. They didn’t, they lied, we did not hold them accountable. They were bought and no longer care what we think or need. Obongo, jarrett, soros and their whole gang of miscreants are laughing at us knowing we are powerless and will not fight back. Every day they sit around and scoff and come up with something new to punish us. They laugh and say what can we take from them today?
Simply a waste of time. Talk is cheap. The written word is worth less?
I don’t even feel better.
I’ve been feeling like we are under attack and it has been an especially miserable day. I woke to the likely capitulation of Mike Pence and then it came true. Obongo announced his next plan for destruction in the name of globull warming. Cap it all off with a betrayal of Israel and an agreement with an enemy that imprisoned more than 80 of our people and would rather see the United States gone and is a clear known sponsor of terrorism against all of us. Just another day in treason land.
Things are just wonderful.
“And you should keep it in mind that if you are a white person, you may very soon be in the minority...”
Really? Blacks were 18% of the population and now they are down to 12.85% due to them killing each other and abortions. Whites are 80% of the population, so what is your definition of soon?
whether they are thugs engaged in criminal activity then, or running away after committing the crimes, means nothing, does it, you black racist in the article.
People who live in black communities are sick of crime. How do I know that? Because when they get two dimes to rub together - they move out.
Best thing to do is have a vote on the subject. City wide vote - every city with large black populations - by precinct... ASK: Do you want more, less or the same amount of police protection?
Let the people speak.
Self appointed 'leaders' seldom speak for the majority ... That's why they're self appointed rather than elected...
Taxpayers are tired of their money being spent babysitting the black community. Tired of paying for street sweepers because urban blacks throw trash out their car windows, tired of paying for endless 'programs' that don't do any good.
If the black community doesn't want police protection - cut back on police protection - or cut it out all together... take a vote. Find out.
Blacks and Whites will both be in the minority. In two or three decades browns will be the majority.
Blacks will be a super minority but they have raised enough hell for any other five races.
In Bizarro world, people stand up to an oppressive gov’t with guns.
That’s what the 2AM is about, right?
I am assuming you mean hispanics as browns? If so I disagree that they will be the majority. If things keep going as they are, in two or three decades, Muslims will be the majority. I don’t know what color you consider them.
Pretty much brown to dirt colored but maybe slightly olive or green...not sure.
You may be correct but it will not be the blacks that enter the majority.
