When Did #BlackLivesMatter Turn into a Cop Killer Movement?

by Kim D.

Any rational thinking person stunned by the unprovoked shooting death of Houston Deputy Darren Goforth must be wondering how the Black Lives Matter movement turned into a cry to kill white people and police officers. Aided by more radical black activist groups like #FYF911 and #FukYoFlag, that's just what appears to have happened.

@BreitbartNews A FALSE NARRATIVE THAT IS NOW NOTHING MORE THAN A 👎 COP-KILLER-MOVEMENT 👎 #BlackLivesMatter

According to Breitbart, 

Members of the #FYF911 or #FukYoFlag and #BlackLivesMatter movements called for the lynching and hanging of white people and cops. They encouraged others on a radio show Tuesday night to “turn the tide” and kill white people and cops to send a message about the killing of black people in America.

One day after the show aired, two Virginia journalists were brutally murdered  by Vester Flanagan, a bitter gay black man who claimed in part his retribution was sparked by the Charleston shooting at a black church.

The killings were part of what appears to have been an elaborate plot carried out by a troubled man who — after years of professional turmoil and a growing rage he linked to the mass shooting at a Charleston, S.C., church — was determined to wreak vengeance against co-workers he insisted had wronged him.

Three days later, Shannon Miles calmly walked up to Deputy Goforth at a Houston Chevron station and shot him in the back. After the officer fell to the ground, Miles continued to unload his weapon then simply walked back to his apartment and hopped into his getaway truck. According to Harris County Sherriff Ron Hickman, the attack on Goforth was completely unprovoked with no evidence that Miles had previous contact with or knowledge of the deputy. At present time, the only motive for the shooting appears that Miles targeted Goforth because he simply wore a uniform.

During a press conference this weekend following the tragic shooting, Sherriff Hickman declared:

"We've heard Black Lives Matter, All Lives Matter. Well, cops' lives matter, too," 

However, quick to respond was none other than the notorious leader of the Black Lives Matter movement, Deray McKesson:

"It is unfortunate that Sheriff Hickman has chosen to politicize this tragedy and to attribute the officer's death to a movement that seeks to end violence."

I hope I speak for the majority of Houstonians when I say go home Deray. Your Black Lives Matter movement has caused too much heartbreak and senseless violence and has ruined too many black and white lives.
