This lawsuit that I'm about to make yall aware of is probably the biggest waste of time I've ever heard of.
A federal lawsuit has been filed against DeRay Mckesson and 4 other Black Lives Matter leaders accusing them of inciting violence that lead up to the ambush of police officers in Baton Rouge last summer. The lawsuit was filed Friday on behalf of 1 of the officers that was wounded by Gavin Long, who was also a military veteran. The officer isn't named in the lawsuit, but it's believed that the officer's identity is East Baton Rouge Parish Sheriff's Deputy Nicholas Tuiller. Tuiller was shot in the head, stomach, and shoulder. In addition to wounding Tuiller, Long also injured 3 other people and killed 3 other officers with a semi automatic rifle before he was shot dead. The lawsuit claims Mckesson was "in charge" of a July 9th protest that "turned into a riot" and he also "did nothing to calm the crowd and, instead, he incited the violence" on behalf of Black Lives Matter. The lawsuit also claims Long was an "activist whose actions followed and mimicked those of" the sniper who killed the officers in Dallas days earlier, along with claiming Black Lives Matter leaders incited others to harm police "in retaliation for the death of black men killed by police" and "all but too late" began to denounce the shootings of police after the Baton Rouge attack. Brief thought: Listen, what happened to this officer and all the other officers who have been shot solely based on the sins of others is horrible and it shouldn't happen. However, I think this lawsuit is ridiculous and a waste of time. Where's the concrete proof that DeRay and these other leaders incited violence? Does anybody have a recording of DeRay and these other leaders saying verbatim to do harm to these officers? If not, then this lawsuit is bullshit. It's not their fault that things got out of hand, it's not their jobs to control the people in attendance of these protests. They can't control the emotions of others. IMPORTANT NOTE: This protest followed the murder of Alton Sterling. Again, just like how officers shouldn't be held responsible for the bad actions and decisions of other officers that kill innocent people, all "activists" and protesters shouldn't be held responsible for the actions of 1 bad apple. As far as I can tell from "following" DeRay he appears to be a laid back, chill guy, just wanting to do good, and change the bs that happens in the black community. Not once have I ever heard of him being aggressive or inciting violence. Not once have I ever heard of Black Lives Matter, which isn't a person, it's a movement, for those that aren't aware **rolls eyes** inciting violence or encouraging violence. In fact, it's the opposite, peaceful, civilized protests are encouraged. Bottomline: I believe that because Gavin Long was shot dead, they're just looking for somebody to blame and go after since they can't go after him. I also believe that people are also so hell bent on trying to demonize the message and the purpose behind Black Lives Matter, hence this bs lawsuit.
