The White House has now responded to a July 6 petition stating that the Obama administration “must declare Black Lives Matter a terror group – on the grounds of principle, integrity, morality, and safety”. Black Lives Matter activist DeRay McKesson has been making the rounds, explaining the Black Lives Matter cause on the Late Show With Stephen Colbert, and now with CNN.
“There is an actual Black Lives Matter organization and there is a chapter in Toronto, but nowhere else in Canada”, said Tamir.
Perhaps this protester has forgotten about Montrell Jackson, one of the police officers killed in Baton Rouge.
“We are going to be out here for the entire convention and make sure our voices are heard”, Cannon continued.
“When we dismiss what we here black folks telling us, and instead we get defensive about it and get upset; It makes them feel completely misunderstood”, said Freeport Resident Janet Plante.
Two black men were killed by police in one week sparking many protests and possibly the murders of eight police officers.
Brown said that the community must also do their part through being active in the local government, going to school and not participating in illegal activities such as selling drugs. “That’s really bad stuff and it’s happened a couple of times”.
A department spokesperson said that a policy with the force covers social media conduct but notes that employees have the right to speak their minds. “I think we need community policing, I think we need to know the cops that are in our neighborhoods and they need to know us”, Spivey-Spinner said.

“My community brought me down here today and the lack of representation for my community brought me down here today”, Cannon said.
