The Oakland Police Department (OPD) extended an invitation to followers of the Black Lives Matter movement to participate in a barbecue to start a constructive dialogue between the two groups. However, the police were met with flat-out rejection by a spokesperson who referred to law enforcement as “pigs.”
“A BBQ is definitely not going to stop this blockade,” Karissa Lewis, a self-described “radical black farmer from East Oakland,” told local Fox affiliate KTVU. “And as a radical-black farmer from East Oakland, I eat pigs, I don’t eat with them,” she said.
According to KTVU, Lewis used the “mic-check call and response technique,” which was popularized at many of the Occupy protests, in order to rally support for her response from fellow protesters, who also rejected the offer. KTVU notes that “many of the activists, at least at this one protest, seemed to be in agreement with her about the offer.”

Someone alert Don Lemon - the most prolific BLM defender on TV.
Reminds me of Independence Day.
President: What do you want us to do?
Alien: DIE!!!
Guess they missed the lyin’ king telling folks to tone it down huh?
BIKERS for TRUMP might need to protect the POLICE at the Democrat Convention.
That's like driving a Yugo and wondering if you want to replace your tires with the $25 cheap Chinese crap tires, or the $30 cheap Chinese crap tires.
Dude, you're driving a Yugo. Move the hell out of Oakland.
Had a client move to Oakland because downtown San Francisco is too expensive, they are scared for their lives over there.
Naaa...what you eat is sh@t.
BLM, NBP, and NoI don’t want to make nice with the police, nor “open a dialog”. No, they just want to kill any cop they come across.
They’re uncivilized thugs, steeped in leftist thug culture. It’s the only thing they know.
No reasoning, or persuasion, or threat of punishment will convince them otherwise. The majority of the black community in the US has been ruined and corrupted past the point of no return.
If allowed to continue, the US devolves into a version of south africa or zimbabwe.
BLM will force themselves to be harshly dealt with IMO.
This must be part of that “dialogue on race” we’re constantly told black leaders are clamoring for.
BLM trying hard to become a “target rich” group.
Black Lives Matter is the KKK of our times.
Shame on our President for even meeting with that racist, violent organization
Just like the other bunch of pork-haters. Both are prone to violence, have the IQ of a pork chop, and blame their self-inflicted problems on others.
Offering pork to an audience largely Muslim is the kind of thing I’d do.
My compliments to the chef!
I don’t just want them front & center, I want them to storm the stage and grab the mic! C’mon, BLM, act like you mean it!
It remains to be seen what will happen in November, but my gut tells me Trump will win - and fairly handily. When the dust settles and the seething begins with the Dims (much like it did with our side in 2012), I believe they’ll have two major scapegoats:
1) Hillary Clinton. She’ll be considered a Bob Dole or John McCain, who should’ve never been nominated.
2) Black Lives Matter. BLM immediately overplayed their hand, then continued to double-down once they realized the Dim party could not disagree with them for fear of upsetting their base. Unlike their base, though, the majority of Americans don’t like police officers murdered, roads and highways blocked, and constantly being called racist.
