KIDS RECITE ASSATA AT BLM-LA PROTEST

(AUGUST 2, 2016) As Black Lives Matter-LA enters its third week of encampment outside Los Angeles City Hall, organizers are indoctrinating children with their revolutionary vision.

Over the weekend, video surfaced of kids reciting Black Lives Matter icon Assata Shakur. 

A video posted by Beth/Liz Savage (@savagetruthtv) on Jul 31, 2016 at 9:40pm PDT

“It is our duty to fight for our freedom It is our duty to win. We must love and protect one another. We have nothing to lose but our chains.”

BLM-LA’s Anthony Ratcliff appeared to be guiding the future activists, as Jasmine Abdullah (a.k.a. Jasmine Richards) stood nearby tapping on a drum.

Last year, Breitbart’s Lee Stranahan reported that Black Lives Matter pays tribute to Shakur, a Marxist cop killer, at every event it holds. 

Assata Shakur, who has been living in exile in Cuba for over thirty years, is a hero to communist revolutionaries for her involvement in the 1960s and 1970s with a violent, criminal Black Panther Party offshoot called the Black Liberation Army. Shakur and the group robbed several banks as a revolutionary act and eventually killed a New Jersey State Trooper with his own gun after a highway stop in 1973.

Black Lives Matter-LA and its allies have been camped outside L.A. City Hall since July 11. Yesterday, East Coast revolutionaries launched a similar anti-police demonstration in New York. Like BLM-LA, they are demanding the police chief be fired. NYPD Chief William Bratton is expected to resign today.

NAJEE ALI AND LAPD

(JULY 14, 2016) Before Tuesday’s LAPD Commission meeting, various factions of the South LA political scene faced off in an entertaining verbal confrontation. 

 Here were the players: 

 1) Najee Ali, proud member of Team Garcetti and recent defender of the LAPD. Talks trash about Black Lives Matter. 

 2) Black Lives Matter, critics of Team Garcetti and the LAPD. Talk trash about Najee Ali. 

 3) Jasmyne Cannick, revealer of LAPD shenanigans. She was there to tell Chief Charlie Beck off at public comment. Cannick refers to Ali as a “media appointed community activist”. 

After Ali stuck his finger in Cannick’s face, it was on like donkey kong. 

Cannick (a.k.a. Vee Parker from Orange is the New Black) repeatedly told Ali, "Take your fraud ass to the other side."

Uniformed LAPD stayed out of it. 

Eventually, Ali did as he was told, relocating to the other side of the room.

Black Lives Matter organizer Jasmine Abdullah (a.k.a. Jasmine Richards) accused Ali of being sent by Mayor Eric Garcetti to cause trouble.

KFI Radio’s Eric Leonard did report that Ali is working with the mayor’s office, but did not say in what capacity. Ali disputed that report.

“I don’t work for Mayors office,” Ali told Leonard in a protected (private) tweet sent early this morning.

Judging by one of Ali’s Facebook pages, he is Garcetti’s number one cheerleader, photographer, and butt kisser in general. His promotion of LAPD is just as nauseating. That’s one of the reasons Black Lives Matter dislikes him so much.

When Snoop Dogg and the Game instantaneously met with Garcetti and Chief Beck last week, Ali was at LAPD HQ. That meeting was a slap in the face to Black Lives Matter, considering the group struggled to get a sitdown with the mayor last year. 

In a picture taken with Snoop at LAPD, Ali can be seen donning some sort of official-looking badge.

“CRT” stands for “Crisis Response Team”, and that badge apparently grants Ali access to places most of us aren’t allowed.

According to LAPD’s website, one can apply to be a CRT volunteer by contacting the Mayor’s Office of Homeland Security & Public Safety. There is a screening process, which Ali apparently passed despite being sentenced to four years in state prison back in 2008.

The Mayor's Crisis Response Team is composed of community civilian volunteers that respond to traumatic incidents at the request of the Los Angeles Police & Los Angeles Fire Departments. (lamayor.org)

That could mean Ali, like an ambulance-chasing lawyer, gets immediate access to, for example, a grieving mother whose son was just shot by the police. Beating the anti-Garcetti, anti-LAPD Black Lives Matter organizers to the punch could be beneficial to both the mayor and police department.

(The Official account for the Los Angeles Police Department Community Relationship Division gave Najee Ali props last December)

It remains to be seen if volunteerism is the extent of Ali’s relationship with the mayor and LAPD, but if you ever experience a traumatic event in Los Angeles, sleep well knowing Garcetti's Office of Homeland Security and Public Safety might send Najee Ali to respond.

A Los Angeles court sentenced a Black Lives Matter activist Tuesday on rarely-invoked felony charges, long-referred to under the California penal code as “attempted lynching.”

The irony was not lost on crowds who gathered outside the Pasadena courthouse and say the charges were punishment for political activism in favor of greater police accountability in communities of color. From Pasadena, Carla Green has more.
