London Black Lives Matter leader on Dallas killings: 'What do they expect?'
Fox News ^ | 11 July 2016 | Lukas Mikelionis

A ringleader of London’s Black Lives Matter movement brushed off the recent police murders in Dallas with the words “What do they expect?”

Gary McFarlane, a far-left activist, addressed supporters in an emotionally-charged demonstration outside the US Embassy this weekend. Although he paid lip-service to “not condoning” the gun rampage that left five officers dead, McFarlane claimed their deaths were an inevitable response to concerns about policing in the US.

Heat Street attended the protest, and recorded McFarlane’s inflammatory address: (Go to link to see video)

Speaking to a rowdy gathering in Grosvenor Square on Sunday morning, he said: “No pig went to prison. No wonder people are getting angry, no wonder people are saying ‘an eye for an eye’. “Of course I don’t condone the killing of the police force. But they keep killing black people. What do they expect people to do?”

KEYWORDS: blacklivesmatter; garymcfarlane; police; shooting
This man should be arrested immediately for inciting violence. The police were dealing with criminals when those shootings took place, not some innocent man just walking down the street. We have a justice system and courts of law to deal with wrongdoing on either side. They are responsible ultimately to God for how they judge matters, let them do their jobs.

How dare you, McFarlane, call police "Pigs" when you won't tolerate someone calling you a "n_ _ _ _ r". And, by the way, almost no one calls a black person that anywhere these days. When ANYONE breaks the law, they can expect the police to investigate, potentially arrest and charge the person. It needs to be taught that no one is argue with the police, fight with them and certainly not to pull a gun or have one on you without legal reason. If you have a gun and you have committed a crime, you can EXPECT that you will be killed by the police, if you present a threat with that weapon in any way.

Finally, McFarlane, suppose we just turn it all over to you and the ones who think like you. Form a government. Set up laws. Now, if we fight against YOUR police, what will happen to us? Are we going to be allowed to argue with your police? Will we be able to get into physical altercations with them? Can we pull guns on them or have them within reach and present a threat with those weapons to YOUR police? Someone needs to ask that man and others using that rhetoric those questions. Where are our leaders to take a stand and tell everyone what needs to be heard? We need leadership statements such as "Get to your houses and settle down, keep your mouths shut, go to work and then go home and quit going out and inciting everyone to violence or go to jail at hard labor...for a long time."

The problem is, people like him do wish to invite a race war. He is a community organizer type and he is not interested in solving the problem, he is interested in exacerbating it.

He is undoubtedly a Marxist, and in his mind, broken eggs are needed to make omelettes.

Black Lives Matter is indeed a racist, terrorist organization. That is indisputable, and they should be treated as such.

Black Lives Matter protesters chant: “What do we want? Dead cops!! When do we want them? Now!!”

And also, “pigs in a blanket, fry ‘em like bacon.”

How is this just free speech; how is this not inciting violence???

Nobody in the media has speculated that the demented Micah Johnson WAS INSPIRED to perpetrate a massacre due to Black Lives Matter rhetoric.

London BLM makes no sense to me whatsoever

First of all - its a different country from the USA entirely. The police in London don’t even carry guns. Blacks in London have no history in London beyond several decades, and they are just like any other of the multitude of immigrant groups there.

It does to me. It’s a terrorist organization bent on destabilization and a takeover. After that, despotic rule. They will quickly kill anyone who opposes them, if they succeed in taking over anywhere.

They make no sense in that their narrative has no meaning - except in the made-up, manufactured MSM and BBC soundbite.

It shows the power of this propagandistic narrative that anyone in the UK takes them seriously.

There’s one of those American terrorist groups in London? I am rather surprised.

My suspicion was, that as part of a devious plot, the Dallas Police, believing they were there for a peaceful demonstration, showed up as a courtesy to allow the BLM people the right to demonstrate without harassment by outsiders. But the dark side, though, was to put them out in the open, with no protective gear, to line them up for just such a sharpshooter to have his own version of a “turkey shoot”. That the sharpshooter also had ties to the various elements of the black radicals, including but not limited to Nation of Islam, the New Black Panthers, and even to the BLM itself, was no coincidence, and was a planned and executed event that was INTENDED to picture the Dallas police in a bad light.

There was one outcome that may well have be intended all along. The local and municipal police forces all over America are now on alert, that dealing with demonstrations by black liberation extremists is going to be a far trickier proposition than it has any time since perhaps the 1960’s and 1970’s.

Back in May 1985, an organization that called itself MOVE, in Philadelphia, precipitated a confrontation with the Philadelphia police force. The massive police operation in Philadelphia culminated in the helicopter bombing of the headquarters of a radical group known as MOVE. The fire from the attack incinerated six adults and five children, and destroyed 65 homes. Despite two grand jury investigations and a commission finding that top officials were grossly negligent, no one from city government was criminally charged. MOVE was a Philadelphia-based radical movement dedicated to black liberation and a back-to-nature lifestyle. It was founded by John Africa, and all its members took on the surname Africa.

The “second strike” in this incipient race war effectively took out the leadership and the taste for further confrontation on the part of this movement, but it sparked a smoldering resentment from people who could not and would not examine their own motives. The ashes have cooled, and most of the debris cleaned up, but the course of extending forgiveness and seeking penance has never taken much root in some of these hotbeds of revolutionary thought.

We expect that in the environment we have. We also expect low wages and low employment and crime with illegal immigration. And rapes with refugee immigration. But we have a president who wants those things.

And LOTs of voters want more of those things from Hillary including people who call themselves conservatives (i.e. #nevertrump)

I wonder what would have happened if a group of Americans had marched alongside the BLM protesters saying

“What do we want? Dead BLM! When do want it? NOW!!!”

It might have made for some epic YouTube action.

Yes, I remember that event with MOVE. Not the kind to deal in any kinds of concepts of forgiveness or penance!

He was responding to the BLM leader. He was not attacking you personally.

Everything they say is BS since they never address how many of them are killing each other daily. That and that they are being paid to protest, of course.

We know the R word would be tossed out there if that happened.
