The trip will highlight the "globalization of police brutality," activists say.
As protests continue throughout the country over the police killings of Alton Sterling and Philando Castile, the latest African-American men to die at the hands of police, a coalition of Black Lives Matter activists will take their movement to a new place next week: Rio de Janeiro.
It's the latest effort to expand the Black Lives Matter message across the globe, and it comes at an important time. With less than a month to go before Rio hosts the 2016 Olympic Games, the activists hope they can take advantage of the spectacle to highlight the city’s rising levels of police violence and connect with Brazilian activists who are fighting a similar struggle.
"Police brutality is global. And Brazil has its own form of ruthlessness," Daunasia Yancey, the founder of Black Lives Matter’s Boston chapter, told The Huffington Post. "The movement that came before and during and after Ferguson has been really intentional about a global struggle and understanding that our freedoms are all tied to each other."

The George Soros funded group has a great idea ... and from there, they are undoubtedly headed to South Africa, Nigeria, Russia and the Middle East!
Maybe they’ll be indoctrinated with what Rio is all about. Those that survive that is.
Hmmm. Bumper crop of skeeters?
Yeah, it’s called the U.S.A. Basketball team.
The cops in Brazil might make these thugs long for home.
Not going to go well for them. Maybe Deray can take a trip down there!
Given the way the police work in Brazil, those BLM supporters are going be in for a very nasty shock....
They will find out that the Rio Cops have zero tolerance with radicals causing problems, regardless of the skin color of the radicals!
Reason #2,561 to avoid Rio.
Will the Black Panthers be there with their AR-15s?
God..PLEASE give me the stength to love my fellow black Americans as my rhetoric and anger and rage has boiled lately.
Touch my soul with love and forgiveness because only you know what I want to do to them and your grace can change a man’s heart.
Amen
We should revoke their citizenship while they are gone, and deny they entry when they want to return home.
I should check and see if Diana West’s article got posted on FR, if not, I’ll post it. Explains it all...
Lenin: Crush, Smash the Police

Snips:
In The State and Revolution, V. I. Lenin elaborates on Marx’s demonic ravings about a violent revolution to create a state of “armed workers” that will itself “begin to wither away.” Madness.
Lenin: “...at a certain stage in the development of democracy, it first welds together the class that wages a revolutionary struggle against capitalism — the proletariat — and enables it to crush, smash to smithereens, wipe off the face of the earth the bourgeois, even the republican-bourgeois, state machine — the standing army, the police and the bureaucracy — and to substitute for it a more democratic state machine, but a state machine nevertheless, in the shape of the armed masses of workers who develop into a militia in which the entire population takes part.
“....the Social-Democrat’s [Communist’s] ideal should not be the trade union secretary, but the tribune of the people, who is able to react to every manifestation of tyranny and oppression, no matter where it appears, no matter what stratum or class of the people it affects; who is able to generalise all these manifestations and produce a single picture of police violence and capitalist exploitation; who is able to take advantage of every event, however small, in order to set forth before all his socialist convictions and his democratic demands, in order to clarify for all and everyone the world-historic significance of the struggle for the emancipation of the proletariat.
BLM in Rio:
Watch out for Zika, you’re pinheaded enough as it is.
...so they can get Zika and blame it on a white conspiracy.
I was wondering how they would pay for such a trip.
And they would have to get passports processed quickly.
And they would to find places to stay.
There is a lot of logistics to international travel. Bet they are getting help from a lot of other agencies then Soros.
Don’t lump all blacks into this category. My boss is black...but I do not care about his skin tone. He is a fine man. There are lots of blacks at our company - they play by the same rules the rest of us do...do good work and get along with each other.
And think of Diamond and Silk and so many others. Color does not matter.
Who is paying for these people to go to Rio and cause trouble?
Pretty much a rhetorical question.
this bunch of poor, underpriveleged black people can afford to go to Brazil?! wow, theyre better off than most white people then.
