FBI Investigation Confirms That Black Lives Matter and Fellow Travelers Are Getting Police Officers Killed

An FBI investigation confirms what we already knew. Black Lives Matter rhetoric, as well as the amplification it receives from the fellow-traveling liberal media and Democrat politicians, is getting police officers killed:

An internal FBI investigation into the spike of attacks on law enforcement has determined that revenge, inspired by the Black Lives Matter movement, the media’s assault on police shootings, and criticism from politicians, … motivates a “majority” of those targeting cops.

Sometimes anti-police violence results from the “defiance and hostility displayed by assailants toward law enforcement [that] appears to be the new norm.” Other times, criminals explicitly want to kill cops.

“The assailants inspired by social and/or political reasons believed that attacking police officers was their way to ‘get justice’ for those who had been, in their view, unjustly killed by law enforcement,” said the report. In two horrific assassinations of police, the report said that “the assailants said they were influenced by the Black Lives Matter movement.”

The “mainstream” media, which validates and amplifies even the most sociopathic BLM propaganda, has blood on its hands, as do pandering politicians like Obama.

The irresponsible rhetoric and lack of official support are making it impossible to police black neighborhoods effectively.

The result [of the propaganda war against police] has been a “chill wind” on law enforcement, and a somewhat understandable pull back by cops in dangerous situations, since even top officials, including former President Obama, have been critical.

Consequently, certain communities are becoming deadlier both for the police and for the law-abiding people the police are there to protect. Since neither of these groups is favored by the liberals who run the media, schools, courts, and big city municipal governments, the favorable portrayal of Black Lives Matter and its sociopathic message will continue.
