The West Memphis NAACP has legitimized and inflamed the war on cops by urging blacks to arm up against them.
Law enforcement has to understand, you cannot do what you please when you see us, Crittenden County NAACP head Shabaka Afrika said in a news conference.
The deaths of Trayvon Martin and Michael Brown had really roiled angry black activists and street thugs who make up their army. But the killing of Eric Garner at the hands of the NYPD and the shooting of Walter Scott in South Carolina have pushed them over the edge.
Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan gave a fiery speech at Morgan State University in Baltimore last November where he said that if the grand jury didnt indict the white officer in the shooting death of 18-year-old thug Michael Brown, Well tear this g-ddn country apart! That was the official declaration of war to send angry black soldiers to the battlefield.
In December, Al Sharpton led a mob of anti-police protests through New York City. Some demonstrators were caught on video chanting, What do we want? Dead cops. When do we want it? Now!
Soon after, two NYPD officers were shot and killed while sitting in their patrol car. This was done by a black Muslim from Baltimore, the same city where Farrakhan made his declaration of war.
Ever since, there has been a string of cop shootings: In Los Angeles, two officers were shot while driving. In Pasco County, Florida, someone shot at two sheriffs deputies as they were sitting in their cars. In Ferguson, two officers were shot outside the police department. And in Boston, an officer was shot in the face by a black gunman.
Now the NAACP in West Memphis is encouraging blacks to arm themselves against police. The head of

All lovers of power have historically channeled the peoples hatred against something (the proletariat against the rich, working-class Germans against the Jews, and so on) to seize more power. The left is using this tactic today against the police.
Way to go obama and holder — This is your mess.
You two are responsible for this, hope you sleep well at night.
Black youth shooting at police, that should end well.

Call me paranoid but what makes you think this wasn’t their intent all along? With all due respect to anyone who hasn’t had that thought cross their mind at least once is IMO naïve.

This is pure Saul Alinsky!
There are millions of Americans who happen to be black who are not part of any war on cops.
It only takes a very small team to stir up trouble.
Trouble is being stirred up.
Always for a purpose.
Dittos!
Obama and fellow Alinskyite progressives of the world love to divide and conquer.
Oddly enough, I see a very different outcome to this.
In the 1970s, radicals assassinated some police officers, and the response was a truly bad idea, to retrain police officers with “S.W.A.T” tactics, and they must be more aggressive, and “take control” at all times, and “dominate” events.
Frequently this involved brandishing handguns at every opportunity. It also involved a LOT more violence against, and by police.
Fortunately, the Taser was invented and was embraced by many police, because it gave them far more options than the use of a gun, whose utility is very limited.
Then the next problem struck: anabolic steroids.
For a time, according to the FBI and DEA, the abuse of these drugs was becoming a major problem in police departments around the US. And their common side effect of uncontrollable rages by users resulting in unprovoked violence.
And then yet another problem: the paramilitarization of police, funded with property and money seizures in the War on Drugs. Having police *behaving* like paramilitaries was not enough. Now they were being *equipped* like paramilitaries, with military gear and equipment.
So what the NAACP and others are calling for now is, in effect, a “reaction” to this.
Yet, while they are agitating for violence, and encouraging violence, there may be an entirely different and unexpected outcome.
Less violence.
It has to do with the very nature of the 2nd Amendment and of guns.
It is counter-intuitive to imagine that more guns equal less violence, but that is certainly the case in gun liberty states. And even though this is not what the agitators *want*, the more black people who are legally armed, *especially* the more who are trained to use guns properly, the *less* they are likely to use them for crime.
Remember also, that the vast majority of crime by blacks is against blacks. Unarmed blacks. If a black criminal cannot carry out criminal acts against other blacks without fear they can shoot him, the degree of difficulty of committing his crime skyrockets.
So the first result in armed the black community is that their crime rate goes *down*. But what about their interactions with police? Fewer crimes, fewer police calls.
And when the police *are* called, they gradually feel less threatened, so are less inclined to overreact.
Until a black man running away from them gets the same response as if a white man is running away from them.
Blacks killing in the cities are the main fuel of the anti-second amendment urban animals.
Either black criminals go to prison, or if they stay out, everyone loses freedom in name of their crime and the danger they present to police state authorities.
The Authorities are the only thing protecting the parasites from the wrath of the host. Let them make war on their protector. Doesn’t bother me in the least.
