Brit BLM activist Sasha Johnson shot in the head
Sasha Johnson, the self-styled ‘Black Panther of Oxford’, was ‘brutally’ attacked after receiving multiple death threats, her political party said.
It is believed that the shooting occurred in the vicinity of a house where a party was taking place and that a number of people may have been in the area. However, police said there is ‘nothing to suggest’ that the woman shot was the subject of a targeted attack.
The Taking the Initiative Party, which Ms Johnson founded, said she was shot after she received death threats as a result of her political activism.
Minnesota AG’s Office to Prosecute Case in Daunte Wright’s Death
MINNEAPOLIS—Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison announced Friday that his office will lead the prosecution of a former suburban police officer who is charged with second-degree manslaughter in the death of Daunte Wright.
Former Brooklyn Center Officer Kim Potter, who fatally shot Wright, a 20-year-old motorist, on April 11. The city’s police chief, who has since stepped down, had said he believed Potter meant to use her Taser instead of her handgun.
Cruel and Unusual Prosecutions – Federal charges against three of the officers in the George Floyd case are unwarranted and ill-advised.
The Biden Justice Department has announced that it will seek federal civil rights charges against the three police officers who, along with Derek Chauvin, participated in the fatal arrest of George Floyd. This decision can’t be reconciled with the Justice Department’s own policy guidelines on second prosecutions. What’s more, prosecuting these officers will have serious negative consequences for police work in this country.
The Dirty Little Secret of Anti-Asian Violence—and Why the Left Stopped Talking About It
It’s time to bid farewell to the MSM coverage of anti-Asian violence. It was juicy while it lasted. The race-baiters in the lefty media saw what they thought was an opportunity to bash Donald Trump yet again by trying to link anti-Asian hate crimes to the former president’s use of the phrase “China virus” in regards to COVID-19. Liberal news rushed and gushed to suggest Trump’s words had stirred up a bunch of white supremacists in MAGA hats, driving pick-up trucks with huge Dixie flags all the way from Georgia to San Francisco for the thrill of punching an elderly Asian woman. Yee-HA!
Why Has the Right Let the Floyd Cops Fry? If they don’t speak up, no one will.
Last Wednesday, the attorneys for former Minneapolis police officer Tou Thao filed a motion that should have been headline news on the right side of the internet. Spoiler alert: it wasn’t. No surprise. For the past year, conservative media and political leaders have been shockingly quiet about the flagrant assaults on due process surrounding the death of George Floyd.
Feeling they had to say something about the Derek Chauvin verdict, the Republicans in Congress seemed to take their cues from Pontius Pilate.
New Poll Shows How Riots Have Doomed Downtown Portland
Riots rocked Portland, Oregon throughout 2020 and have continued in 2021.

Black Lives Matter Declares ‘Solidarity’ With Hamas In Israel Conflict

Fatal police shooting of Andrew Brown was ‘justified,’ North Carolina DA says
The fatal police shooting of Andrew Brown Jr. by North Carolina deputies was “justified” because he posed “an immediate threat to others,” a local district attorney said Tuesday.
“This case clearly illustrates the officers who used deadly force on Andrew Brown Jr. did so reasonably, and only when a violent felon, used a deadly weapon to place their lives in danger,” District Attorney R. Andrew Womble said at a press conference.

BLM co-founder blasts ‘white supremacy’ in housing market after $3 million property spending spree
A co-founder of Black Lives Matter, Patrisse Cullors, has highlighted the “history of racism inside of the housing market,” after making waves for spending millions on homes in predominantly white neighborhoods.
In an Instagram post over the weekend, Cullors praised a National Public Radio report that “highlighted” the history of racism in the US housing market.
Why antiracism zealots are trying to silence black voices like mine
As a Christian minister, I’m used to being stifled when I talk about my religion outside of church. If I bring up faith in Jesus Christ, the guardians of the secular public square are quick to inform me that my religion is strictly a private matter.
But these days I’m stifled not because of the religion I practice but because of one I reject: the religion of antiracism, which is now the established church of academia, government, the media and business.
Lefty Rag Goes After Reporters Who Covered BLM/Antifa Riots for Committing Acts of Journalism. And For Another, More Dangerous Reason
Forget everything you’ve seen about the Black Lives Matter and antifa riots of 2020. The destruction, cracked heads, lasers pointed in cops’ eyes, burned buildings – forget it all. The “summer of love” riots weren’t that bad. That was fake news. Gaslighting. And we know this because the left-wing publication called The Intercept says that accurate riot stories, reported by a small cadre of reporters working for right-of-center publications, don’t really count. Somehow the violence of 2020 was magically less violent because these reporters were the ones who witnessed it and reported it.
Philadelphia incinerated remains of police bombing victims without telling families
The public outcry over the handling of human remains retrieved from the ashes of the deadly 1985 bombing of a Black liberation organization in Philadelphia dramatically escalated on Thursday, with the revelation that the bones of an undisclosed number of Move victims were incinerated and dumped by the city without the knowledge or permission of living relatives.
In a bombshell disclosure, the mayor of Philadelphia, Jim Kenney, announced that he had fired the city’s health commissioner, Thomas Farley. The mayor said that Farley had told him earlier this week that several years ago he had become aware that remains of victims of the Move bombing – in which 11 people died – were still in the possession of the city’s medical examiner’s office.
What Derek Chauvin Ought to Tell the Judge
At his June 25 sentencing hearing, former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin has the right to speak on his own behalf before the judge imposes the sentence. Here is what he might say.
Your honor, police work is a job like no other. Unlike most professionals, when police officers leave home on a night shift, their spouses and children pray that they will come home safe the next morning. They have reason to fear.
Last year alone, 295 American police officers were killed on the job, and many thousands more were injured. Cops run these outsized risks for a variety of reasons, but money is hardly among them. The average cop makes slightly more than a letter carrier but slightly less than a UPS driver.
