A Sheriff in Texas has blamed "dangerous rhetoric" against police by anti-racism activists for the execution-style killing of one of his officers. Darren Goforth, 47, a white sheriff's deputy, was shot in the back of the head as he filled up his patrol car at a petrol station in a middle class suburb of Houston on Friday night.

>>Deray McKesson, a leader of Black Lives Matter, the peaceful protest movement spawned by recent police killings of black people elsewhere in the United States, criticised the sheriff for heightening tensions with his comments.

There has been rioting and looting in the wake of the whole #BLM movement. It is far from peaceful, and it is built on the foundation of the “hands up, don’t shoot” lie regarding officer Darren Wilson’s interaction with criminal Michael Brown in Ferguson. The Grand Jury report indicates these words were never spoken, and that Brown was bum-rushing Wilson.

I don’t see a group that is built on a lie, associated with rioting and looting, and attempting to give blacks a pass for antisocial behavior, as “peaceful.” But maybe that’s just me.

Black Lives Matter? To who, certainly not to the blacks since they do most of the killing. Total hypocrites. Nothing matters to them except protesting and getting a new TV.

But has anyone noticed that when Mr. Trump comes to town, movements such as “BLM” stay away? They had learned from what happened last week to one Mr. Ramos.

Smack the dog's nose, they jump back surprised. But after a moment, they come at you again.

This is what's happening with the Blackracist Lives Matter contingent. They're looking for more aggressive operatives, and they'll move when they have them.

Look for Mr. Trump to do a 21st century version of Mr. Reagan: “I paid for this mike.” remember?

I don’t - I have no doubt in my mind.

Look at all the false flag shootings we’ve had. All you need is the right deranged shooter at the right time, and presto!

The truth is that security is going to be HIGH now at these events. And security is more often than that, ARE ARMED to the teeth.

Plus I sense that since last week, they got the message from what happened to Mr. Ramos to leave Mr. Trump ALONE.

Very good point illustrating that perceived strength (based on actual strength) equals deterrence.

These radical groups do stay away because they know they do not want a “I paid for this mike moment” to expose them.

#BlackLivesMatter Caught On Camera Doing Something ‘Disgusting’ To Cops Who Were HELPING Them

Just hours after a Texas sheriff’s deputy was gunned down in cold blood...

Norvell Rose August 31, 2015 at 6:39am

They shouted in unison, “Pigs in a blanket, fry ’em like bacon” — an obvious anti-police chant clearly calling for violence against law enforcement officers. Yet a leader of the Black Lives Matter (BLM) protest march in Minnesota over the weekend claimed there was nothing threatening about the action by the BLM activists whose disruption of the Minnesota State Fair caused cancellation of some events.

As WCCO-TV reported on Saturday, the march and anti-cop rhetoric upset rank and file officers on the St. Paul police department, many of whom actually provided escort and security for the marchers. A spokesman for the officers called the action of the BLM protesters “disgusting,” saying it created a dangerous atmosphere for law enforcement personnel.
