Report: Riots causing Black Lives Matter to lose support in Minnesota as destruction mounts

Report: Riots causing Black Lives Matter to lose support in Minnesota as destruction mounts 1

ST PAUL, MN – The Black Lives Matter movement got a significant shot in the arm after the death of George Floyd while in police custody.  While initially there was large support for the movement, specifically in the state of Minnesota, a few riots later seems to have made some people change their minds. 

Now, according to Breitbart News, support for the movement is on the decline.

Breitbart News was able to obtain a copy of a survey taken by the Trafalgar Group for Conservative Clergy of Color.  An organization of black faith leaders who showed concern over the initial popularity of Black Lives Matter. 

The results of the poll taken in mid-August, shows approval ratings have dropped to 53% while those disapproving is at 36.2%. 

Looking closer at the poll, those who responded were asked if Black Lives Matter had “made race relations better, worse, or about the same.” 

Forty-five percent of those who responded, who are also believed to be people voting in the upcoming general election, said they believed the movement made matters worse.

Thirty-four percent said that they believe Black Lives Matter improved race relations, leaving 20% that said relations were the same.

When those polled asked if Black Lives Matter leaders cared about them, 52.2% stated they did not, while 47.8% stated they believed the group actually cared about them.

One of the big questions asked in the poll was if they believed that Black Lives Matter was a “violent organization,” to which 36.4% said yes.  Amazingly, 54.6% of people believed that BLM was not violent and 9% were not sure. 

When asked if Black Lives Matter protests or the organization was welcome in their neighborhoods, 53.3% advised they were, while 46.7% said they were not. 

The second big question that was asked was if they believed whether or not Americans should pay some type of reparations to the black communities “to make up for slavery and discrimination.” 

Much to the dismay of the leaders of the democratic party, specifically Democratic Vice-Presidential Nominee Kamala Harris, 72.8% responded that they disapproved of reparations while 27.2% agreed.

Robert Cahaly, a member of the Trafalgar Group, produced a memo and explained the findings to Bishop Aubrey Shines who is the chairman of the Conservative Clergy of Color.  The explanation was that Black Lives Matter and what they stand for was too much to be a game changer politically in the state.

Cahaly wrote:

“In conclusion, the survey suggests the voter consensus that BLM needs to successfully advocate for the more popular changes they have built a movement around, no longer exist. 

More importantly the reason for this loss of voter confidence is ongoing violence conducted in BLM’s name as well as the organization’s own actions and revelations of their full agenda. As it stands now the BLM brand is too damaged in Minnesota to be effective.”

This shift, and apparent downward trend of support of Black Lives Matter, could prove costly to the democratic party.  Not only had they worked to align themselves with the organization, which has actively participated in several riots in large metropolitan areas, they may well have alienated themselves from the citizens who have been forced to deal with those riots and protests. 

President Donald Trump has made a significant point, time and again, that he and the republican party stand for law and order, and not chaos. 

The President sent federal troops into Kenosha after nights of riots and the federal police were able to end the violence there within the first two nights, something that the democratic leaders in other areas of the country fail to do.

This may well be a reason why the President is seeing better polling numbers, especially in an area like Minnesota.

One reason BLM might be losing support is their increasing call to violence. Here’s an article Law Enforcement Today brought you detailing that very thing.

We’ve heard the protests and riots across the country get called “peaceful” for months by media pundits, but we’re graced once again by someone addressing a crowd of the “peaceful” demonstrators egging people on to attack police officers.

Oh, and this speaker also said that he’s ready to put police officers “in a fucking grave” as well.

Whoever this speaker was isn’t clear, but what was painfully obvious was the calls to violence this person was espousing during his rant:

“I’m at the point where I’m about to put these police in a fucking grave. I’m at the point where I want to burn the fucking White House down.

I want to take it to the senators, I want to take it to the congress – I want to take the fight to them. And at the end of the day, if they ain’t gonna hear us, we burn them the fuck down.”

After sharing his thoughts on wanting to kill police officers and burn down the White House, this person seemed all to enthusiastic about recounting instances of where he attacked police officers:

“I’m one that talk real shit. I talked it in New York and I’m talking it in D.C. The same way I fucked up police in New York, I’ll fuck cops up here in D.C. The same way I bust police in the head in New York, I’ll bust police in the head in D.C.”

This man preaching violence against officers then issues orders to the crowd present, telling them that if they are going to be on their “front lines,” then they need to be willing to attack police officers:

“Now, it’s a lot of people, and I’m gonna be honest, it’s a lot of people on this front line. And one of the things that I always say: Don’t get on this fucking front line if you ain’t going to fucking fight.

“Don’t get on this front line if you ain’t going to take no hit. Don’t get on this front line when the fucking police push back. If you gonna be on this front line and the racist ass, nasty ass, punk ass fucking police is pushing up? You push the fuck up!”

For those who aren’t hip to all this talk of a “front line,” that’s typically the formations that line the front of all these “peaceful” protests.

We’ve seen them among all the riots hotspots like Portland, Minneapolis and so on. Usually they’ll have makeshift shields and afford protection and concealment to those behind them if they decide to start throwing objects at police from afar.

But despite videos of the aforementioned being present, you have “journalists” claiming as though that Washington, DC wasn’t popping off around the 28th and 29th of August – by conveniently filming just a random park with people during the day time.

Of course, it was Dan Zak from the Washington Post who attempted that stunt – which he was quickly rebutted by someone sharing video of protesters pretending to be traffic directors.

Plus, there video from DC that was captured where one of the speakers said that the crowd listening “we gotta rip Trump right outta that officer right over there, fucking pull him right out of that shit.”

Much like the speaker featured earlier on in the article, this person stated that it needs to be done by force and not by democracy:

“Nah nah, we ain’t about to wait ‘til the next election. We’re about to go get that mother fucker.”

Once again, these are all just “peaceful” protesters.

But when all else fails – just blame the riots on…Trump supporters. Steven Van Zandt, most famous from his time with the E Street Band, actually took to Twitter to allege that “most” of the rioters a Trump supporters.

The strange gaslighting seems to know no bounds.

VP Candidate Kamala Harris chilling interview about BLM riots: “They’re not gonna stop. And they should not.”

WASHINGTON, DC – In a chilling interview with Stephen Colbert, smiling Democrat Vice Presidential candidate Kamala Harris basically promised continued violence from Black Lives Matter in this country for the foreseeable future.

The interview took place in June on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.

It began with Colbert asking Harris about her participation in recent protests in Washington, D.C.

Harris described what “protests” meant to her, saying:

“…the greatest movements that we have seen in the history of our country … have been born out of protests, have been born out of understanding the power of the people to take to the streets and force their government to become… to address what is wrong, the inequities, the inequalities… to force the government to be true to the ideals that we say we hold dear.”

She went on to say,

“Almost every one of those marches has been about one fundamental ideal in our country, which is equal justice under law… these protests, I think, are the catalyst to getting there.”

Smiling, Harris then recounted how she saw the recent protests as:

“a beautiful sight, people of every race, age, gender, together.”

Harris also told Colbert,

“We have arrived at a point in our country that we should recognize, this is not just a moment, it is a movement… fueled by the beautiful diversity of who we are, coming together as a unified body, demanding… change and justice for everyone.”

Colbert pointed out that the news media has not been giving wide coverage to the protests, and asked Harris how important it was for the protests to continue.

Harris responded:

“It’s critically important.”

Harris then added:

“I grew up in a community that was not always on the best end of law enforcement in terms of how the laws were applied.”

She continued:

“There’s not a black man I know, be he a relative or a friend, who has not been the subject of some sort of racial profiling or excessive force.”

She added that she became a prosecutor to “go inside the system” and create change.

Harris then spoke glowingly of the activities of Black Lives Matter, saying:

“I am very clear that some of the success that we’ve been able to achieve around criminal justice reform would not have happened in recent years were it not for Black Lives Matter.

“And the intensity and the brilliance of that movement that forced, at least, that there would be some counter-force to the status quo which is so reluctant to change, if not hostile to change.”

Smiling and agreeing when Colbert mentioned that protests are still ongoing, Harris added:

“But they’re not gonna stop.  They’re not gonna stop.  And that’s – they’re not – this is a movement, I’m telling you.  They’re not gonna stop.”

In an apparent warning, she continued:

“And everyone beware, because they’re not gonna stop….

“They’re not gonna stop before election day in November, and they’re not gonna stop after election day.

“And that should be – everyone should take note of that.”

Harris continued:

“They’re not gonna let up.  And they should not.  And we should not.”

Not once did Colbert or Harris touch on the violent nature of the “protests” across the United States, with their multiple millions of dollars in property damage, murders, arson and destroyed businesses, and aggravated violence against law enforcement.

Instead, in keeping with her usual silence on the matter, Harris ignored the destructive actions by Black Lives Matter and used flowery language to praise the “intensity” of the “movement” characterized by violent protests, simultaneously telling the country to “beware.”

If silence is consent, Harris’ consent to BLM violence is deafening.
