A display created by Dartmouth College Republicans to honor fallen police officers was torn down by Black Lives Matter activists and replaced with a hateful message about honoring the "perpetrators" of anti-black violence.
The Republicans reserved space on the campus bulletin board and followed all school regulations. But the BLM radicals removed the display without permission, saying that it was "offensive" to blacks and "white supremacist."
Daily Caller:
At the bottom, the display said in big letters, “BLUE LIVES MATTER.”
This last part of the display appears to have outraged Black Lives Matter supporters at Dartmouth, several of whom vocally complained on Twitter and Facebook that the display was offensive and even “white supremacist.”
But Black Lives Matter did more than just complain. The original display was torn down Friday morning, at about 11 a.m, and in its place almost three dozen sheets of paper were used to cover the bulletin board, all of them carrying an identical message: “YOU CANNOT CO-OPT THE MOVEMENT AGAINST STATE VIOLENCE TO MEMORIALIZE THE PERPETRATORS.” At the bottom, each sheet also had the hashtag “#blacklivesmatter”.
The Black Lives Matter activists declared that the original display had been “censored on behalf of the students,” according to an eyewitness who spoke with The Daily Caller News Foundation.
Dartmouth’s College Republicans quickly released a statement via Facebook denouncing the stunt.
“As an organization, we took the time and effort to obtain proper approval for the display while putting significant thought into its content,” the statement says. “We are dismayed that a group of students would attempt to censor our message while coopting the space for their own purposes.”
Mikala Williams, one of the students involved in tearing down the original display, told The Dartmouth that her action was justified because the original display promoted violence against black people.
“It was taken down by students and replaced because it actively co-opted a movement that is supposed to comment on police brutality against black individuals in this country,” she said. “It took that and by framing that as ‘Blue Lives Matter,’ it normalizes and naturalizes violence against people of color in this country. And that is not okay.”
BLM is doing exactly what they accuse the police of doing: judging by the group. In their eyes, police aren't just the enemy. Every police officer who loses his life in the line of duty is only getting what he deserves.
In this wacky universe, the fact that almost all black criminals killed by police were armed and threatening both the cops and the general public is glossed over. The very small number of unarmed blacks mistakenly killed by police is exaggerated and becomes "proof" that black lives don't matter to the cops, that the police are waging a "war" on blacks.
Find out who did it?
From the article: “Mikala Williams, one of the students involved in tearing down the original display ...”
The administration knows who did it. Mikala is probably an affirmative action admit and probably getting a free ride at an Ivy League school. This is how she shows her gratitude.
I know a family that won’t have anybody show up at their home if they call 911 for a family dispute or burglary for a while unless it means carrying one of them off to jail.
It’s not okay that they whine like liberals.
This is Obama’s America.
Imagine 4 to 8 more years of this nonsense.

We know freedom of speech only works one way on American campuses these days.
BLM = Domestic Terrorism
The sad truth in the black community is “black lives don’t matter.”
Extremely high murder rates and other serious crimes and all they do is blame the police for not solving the crimes, all the while refusing to cooperate in any meaningful manner. All the while claiming one or both of the parties was a angle who had/was turning his life around, etc.
I have to ask all posters - when was the last time you talked to a LEO when he wasn’t responding to a call?
The LEOs of all stripes and persuasions deal with people we would run away from as fast as we could. Yet they have to run to the fire.
Of course they are going to react they way they do. How would you react if 11 out of every 10 (yes, I have the numbers correct) you encounter on a daily basis are criminals trying to avoid being arrested in any way possible (lies, physical assaults, lawfare, and even with deadly force)?
Your attempts to get attention are pathetic.
Thanks MarvinStinson.
