STEAMBOAT SPRINGS — Routt County Sheriff Garrett Wiggins suggested the ongoing protests around the country aren’t about race. Wiggins instead indicated that people are “trying to create chaos in our nation during a campaign year.”

...

This nonsense our country is experiencing has nothing to do with race,” Wiggins ... “It is totally political, fueled by extreme ideology and haters of America.”

Wiggins .. bases his opinions on thorough research and data, and “the data does not support this protest movement where cops are targeting blacks and blacks are overwhelmingly killed by police more than whites.

...

The leaders of these violent protests use race as an excuse to riot and commit all sorts of crimes against innocent people in the name of justice,” Wiggins said ... “If it were a racially motivated issue, these violent thugs would not be stealing from blacks, beating and robbing or shooting black people who are trying to protect their homes and businesses.”

Wiggins asked for prayers for Atlanta Police Department Officer Maximilian Brewer..

This deputy sheriff is black, and he was violently attacked serving his community and protecting the very people who tried to kill him. Why is the media not covering this tragedy and the other blacks victimized during these violent protests?”

...

Brewer was injured May 30 when an intoxicated black man driving an all-terrain vehicle crashed into Brewer’s police motorcycle.

...

The Atlanta station reported that the ATV sped past a row of bicycle officers. Those officers then took off running and biking down the road. An 11Alive camera then saw Brewer lying face down in the street. One of the station’s reporters described hearing a loud sound when the ATV crashed into the motorcycle.

Brewer had serious injuries to his legs, according to the Atlanta Police Department

Democrats were having a hard time raising money, so they used the House Impeachment for a free media smear campaign

that didn’t work out, so this is Round Two

and they’re skimming the money off the top of all those millions that “woke” companies are throwing at BLM. PLUS the free media smearing of Trump, who had nothing whatsoever to do with Floyds death

Yup!

Exploited Again – Financial Contributions to Black Lives Matter are Being Funneled to Biden Campaign….
https://theconservativetreehouse.com/2020/06/11/exploited-again-financial-contributions-to-black-lives-matter-are-being-funneled-to-biden-campaign/?like_comment=8341882

Some smart sleuthing by Raheem Kassam and Natalie Winters at The National Pulse shows the donations made to Black Lives Matter actually go to ActBlue. From there ActBlue takes those contributions and sends them forward to the Joe Biden Campaign.

After reaching the BLM homepage, which features a “Defund The Police” petition front and center, if a user chooses to donate, they’re rerouted to a site hosted by ActBlue and prompted with the message: “We appreciate your support of the movement and our ongoing fight to end state-sanctioned violence, liberate Black people, and end white supremacy forever.”

Joe Biden is the top beneficiary of the ActBlue’s fundraising efforts. (link)

This means donations to Black Lives Matter are actually the primary funding mechanism for Joe Biden 2020; and that explains why national democrats (Pelosi) and the DNC have changed their position on BLM as an activist organization, and now embrace them openly.

The financial arrangement also further solidifies the purpose for BLM (Obama/Holder) to align with the AME Church network (Clyburn, Sharpton, et al) which facilitates the DNC agenda (Biden, Perez, et al).

The 2020 financial problem that was being faced by the Democrat National Committee was solved through the use of Black Lives Matter as a funding mechanism for the 2020 election. The more money the resistance movement can push into their BLM advocacy, the more money that actually flows into the DNC for 2020.

As of May 21st, ActBlue has donated $119,253,857 to the “Biden for President” effort.

BLM is not a racist organization based on politics. It is a political organization based on race. Their objective is POWER and the overthrow of our Republic.

Way more then skimming the gutless major companies are sending millions into the front door of BLM and it’s going out the back door to the DNC. It is cruise ships full of money. It’s a perfect rat set up and nothing can be done about it.

I lived in Steamboat for about five years in the early 90’s right out of college. You can make it there you can make it anywhere
