Black Caucus Demands Meeting With FBI Director Over ‘Black Identity Extremists’ Report
Daily Caller ^ | 10/14/17 | Amber Randall

Posted on 10/14/2017 1:30:08 PM PDT by markomalley

The Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) requested a personal meeting Friday with the FBI director over the department’s report that warned of the possible violence coming from “black identity extremists.”

The caucus wants to meet with FBI Director Christopher Wray to talk about how the FBI conducted research on “black identity extremists” for its Aug. 3 report and what the FBI plans to do in light of the report, according to a letter from the caucus.

The CBC argued that the report, “Black Identity Extremists Likely Motivated to Target Law Enforcement Officers,” only used a small sample of violent incidents against officers to reach its conclusion and erroneously conflated black activists protesting police brutality with actual organizations who will hurt police officers.

“It relies on a handful of obviously terrible incidents to paint black Americans who exercise free speech against witnessed police brutality as possible violent extremists,” the group said in the letter. “The broad characterizations can only serve to further erode trust between law enforcement officials and many of the black communities they serve, further inflaming and already tense and complicated dynamic.”

The FBI report in question alleged that the “black identity extremists” could commit violent acts against law enforcement officers out of anger against police brutality against black Americans. The report pointed to the fatal police shooting of Mike Brown as the starting point for the group, while more police killings of black men only served to amplify the anger of the group.

The CBC asked Wray to respond in letter by Oct. 23 as to whether he would hold a briefing with the caucus; if he doesn’t respond, the group said many in the black community would take that to mean the FBI will be trying to target black Americans.

“We are concerned that this assessment could lead the FBI to target black communities and it is imperative that you come to meet with the 49 members of the CBC to address our concern,” the letter stated.

The Daily Caller News Foundation reached out to the FBI for comment, but received none in time for publication.

Schedule the meeting to be on the same day as the meeting with the Congressional White Caucus.

Considering that we’re called Nazis and Fascists non-stop simply for supporting Trump, I’d say the black community is getting off quite easy.

Why doesn’t the racist “Black Caucus” care about all the black Americans being murdered in Chicago, Philly, Baltimore, Detroit, etc. BY OTHER BLACKS?

++++

if he doesn’t respond, the group said many in the black community would take that to mean the FBI will be trying to target black Americans.

Being given probable cause on a silver platter is police brutality?

The Congressional Black Caucus IS “black identity extremists.”

Will there be a white caucus response to provide answers to the black criminals?

Exactly. Make no mistake there are many black klan organizations with great power having support from their Obama grand potentate.

The black caucus criticizes that if the FBI produces a report on black violence they must be ‘targeting blacks’.

But they still won’t explain, or even admit to the American people, the reality that blacks continue to commit disproportionate crime (mostly towards each other) in the first place. Targeting non-blacks is just a way to detract from the black-on-black crime that borders on self-genocide.

Black violence against police officers isn’t just a problem, it’s an epidemic. And it isn’t just white officers getting maimed or killed, not that it should matter.

Sounds like someone is going to have a fit if certain dindos exercise their free speech rights through various acts of violence and are confronted by the FBI - among others. After all FBI agents are just cops with different uniforms ...

Do not be so worried about the FBI, they are not the only ones watching you.

The CBC is racist to the core. The members are professional negros. They are black for22 a living.

They are core members of the antiAmerican black political subculture

No group should EVER meet with the black caucus——it should not exist.

Be a real shame if the FBI were to suddenly decide to look into CBC campaign funding, wouldn’t it?
