The Los Angeles branch of Black Lives Matter filed a federal lawsuit against the City of Santa Monica, California, on Monday, a year after rioters and looters rampaged through the downtown area alongside an anti-police protest on May 31, 2020.
As Breitbart News reported last year: “While several hundred demonstrators participated in a peaceful march along Ocean Boulevard to voice outrage at the death of George Floyd at the hands of police in Minneapolis, Minnesota, hundreds of looters terrorized nearby stores.” The only stores to stave off looters were guarded by armed civilians.
Graffiti was sprayed all over government and commercial buildings, including the courthouse. The public library was tagged: “Save a Life, Kill a Cop!!”. Minority-owned businesses were not spared the devastation and were also damaged.
Locals were outraged at the lackluster police response. Then-police chief Cynthia Renaud wrote an open letter in which she said: “Broken windows can be replaced and buildings can be repaired, but the lives of Santa Monicans, peaceful protestors, my officers, and even the looters, would have been impossible to restore if lost that day.” That only fueled the public anger, and over 66,000 people signed an online petition demanding her removal. She resigned shortly thereafter.
Now Black Lives Matter is suing the city, claiming it was too harsh with protesters.

So the plaintiffs are suing the city for the cops being both too harsh AND too lenient.
“So the plaintiffs are suing the city for the cops being both too harsh AND too lenient.”
And in today’s America, with our legal system infested with progressives, that’s a solid basis for a case. Look for BLM to win millions.
Seems to me that this is a Confession by the organization Black Lives Matter, that they are and were wholly responsible for all the damage, injuries and losses as a result of thier “peaceful protest”. EVERY Business and Individual that suffered an Injury or Loss should be Filing Lawsuits against BLM with this ADMISSION they just made in Court Filings. SUE Every person in the group Personally too.
So BLM held a riot and devastated the city.
And now they are suing the city for being devastated.
Ohhh Kayyyy.
Nobody anywhere brings this up when BLM wants to sue.

A Fed Judge ruled Black Lives Matter is not a person, not a company, and not a formal entity - therefore, can’t be sued.
If BLM is a non-entity and can’t be sued, how can a non-entity sue somebody?
Talk amongst yourselves, as I have a coveted tee-off time.
Less than 5% of the population in Santa Monica is Black.
BLM deliberately chose to riot there, hoping for videos that would catch provocative language or actions by the white residents or white cops.
Does ANY US college or university even TEACH logic any more??
A most salient point. Repeat in large print for emphasis.
Armed civilians.
AKA White Supremacist terrorists on the FBI Most Wanted List. How dare these Kyle Rittenhouse wanna-bes protect their property!
Santa Monica is a VERY blue city - full of “woke” lefties and other über liberals - the homeless situation there is out of control.
All is A-OK until it hits THEIR community.
No sympathy. Live with what you voted for. Hope BLM wins in this case. They’re getting what they voted for.
Er, no. Not in that area - the white people in SM wouldn’t do that.
It’ll be between Hispanic and Asian store owners. This is why the media had *zero* coverage of this and weren’t calling for their heads like they do with Rittenhouse.
Oh that makes sense then.
Asians and Hispanics are allowed to protect their property.
White People? Nope.
Santa Monica I believe is where Whitey Bulger hid out for like 17 years in open sight. BTW, Bulger got the Epstein farewell in Fed Custody.
The City State SS called Black Lives Matter is an American domestic enemy.
The survival of America depends on the destruction of the City States
Wasn’t saying anything about allowed - it’s that the white people in Santa Monica, if they weren’t the people out looting (which many of them are leftist enough to do - Lots of BLM/Antifa marauders are white!) wouldn’t be defending their stores at all. They’re lefty and don’t see why they should. They believe the police will protect them and their businesses, and that if they didn’t, why, that’s just a momentary lapse and the police will absolutely do it next time, yessirreee!
Lather, rinse, repeat.
Time to stop blm and antifa BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY !!!!
