FBI says BLM is a security threat.

[Duppers]

We say black lives matter. The FBI says that makes us a security threat.

In an intelligence assessment written in August but first disclosed by Foreign Policy last week, the FBI designated a new group of domestic terrorists: “Black Identity Extremists,” or BIEs. The report broadly categorizes black activists as threats to national
security. It uses unrelated acts of violence, such as the July 2016 shootings of police officers in Dallas and Baton Rouge, as justification for targeting black dissident voices. And it labels black activists — whose central demands are that government officials be responsible stewards of their power, accountable to the people who elect them and transparent about decision-making — as a threat to national security.

According to sources close to the FBI, the term “Black Identity Extremist” didn’t exist before the Trump administration.

5. What the fuck

[Freethinker65]

6. WTF +1000

So the government is attacking freedom of the press, freedom of speech, AND freedom of assembly. Just great.

[FormerOstrich]

7. and the White Identity Extremist

[Duppers]

18. Truth! 🔺

[Proud Liberal Dem]

[Solly Mack]

8. K&R

[secondwind]

9. Holy shit!!!!

[murielm99]

10. This isn't the first time.

Think about it.

Law enforcement targeted Black Panthers in Chicago and other cities in the 1960's. Hoover hated and distrusted MLK. He tapped MLK's phones.

There is more. I just can't remember it all right now.

[JI7]

11. they forced the poor innocent old white gun lover to shoot up the Vegas Concert

[Baconator]

12. Meh...

It's safe to say they within the group at large there are probably some bad actors.

[Hassin Bin Sober]

13. The same can be said about Shriners but they aren't labeled a security threat.

What the ever living fuck.

Not a security threat:

[KG]

25. !

[Baconator]

32. I wonder what would happen if you compared...

... The rates of arrest, violence and participants arrest record at their respective events.

Wonder... Wonder... Wonder...

[nolabels]

14. I was going to agree then .......

I realized it wasn't about the Bureau of Land Management

[Duppers]

20. I've done that too.

Many times. Hate them.

[Bayard]

34. I wondered what the BLM was up to now too

Nevertheless, it does resemble Herbert Hoover and MLK days. I wouldn't be surprised if there were a number of bugging ops on leading black voices right now.

[Duppers]

35. There probably are.

Although BLM is not organized as the Civil Rights movement was in the 60s.

[KY_EnviroGuy]

15. Everyone outside the GOP has to have a label of evil attached.

In all fairness, in that same vein, how about....

CIE: Christian Identity Extremists

REAIE: Real Estate Agent Identity Extremists

RHIE: Red Heads Identity Extremists

When will it stop?

[Duppers]

21. You could've stopped with CIE.

I take a tad bit of offense at RHIE.

[coolsandy]

16. The FBI under Sessions and 45 are a security threat.

[Duppers]

22. Exactly!

Thank you.

[Madam45for2923]

Never heard it before. (I'm sheltered apparently. )

Thanks for posting it.

[KG]

29. Steve Earle is a badass lefty.

[Duppers]

33. He sure is! I know of him, of course...

Just didn't recall that song. We need more like him... but Trump and Sessions would try to find a way to have them arrested. GOPissers.

[Initech]

31. But tiki torch carrying white extremists are "very fine people".
