Babu Omowale, the so called national minister of defense for the New Black Panther party has declared war over the shooting of a thug with a gun in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. This is the same clown that devised a plan to take over 5 states in the South. Omowale is also a founder of the Huey P. Newton Gun Club, a gun club for black militants. When he made his declaration of war, he was being interviewed on the Aaron Klein Investigative Radio show which is broadcast in New York and Philadelphia.
“Is it a war? Yes, it is. It’s a war against black people because we’re the ones being murdered.”
One can debate many of the shootings by cops and surely some are wrong and cops are brought to trial for those shootings, but where in your wildest imagination can you equate one of those killings to a self defense shooting of an armed criminal? Within the mind of Omowale, I guess.
Omowale was asked if the riots that followed the shooting of an armed thug in Milwaukee was a civil war, Omowale answered (Incorrectly, I might add):
“The people against terrorism, and tyranny in their community is not a civil war. When you are speaking about civil war, you are talking about a country fighting against a country. This is oppressed people fighting against a racist, white supremacist police system. Which is meant to oppress a certain group of people. More than likely black people and poor people around the country.”
“What you see is people lashing out and fighting against the system. As it is said in the Second Amendment, you know. So this is not new. The people in this country have always defended themselves against tyranny. So I can’t liken this to a civil war. No it’s not. Is it a war? Yes, it is. It’s a war against black people because we’re the ones being murdered. We’re the ones being killed. So there’s been a war against us. But is it a civil war? I can’t say that that’s the case.”
No, Mr national minister of defense, a civil war is not between two countries, it’s between two factions of the same country. If you think that’s stupid, wait til you hear what’s next.
Omowale admitted that he knows nothing of the details of Saturday’s shooting but he says it doesn’t matter because even if he had a gun , it was murder:
“Whether he had a gun or not is not the narrative in this perspective. You have to understand that America is a country of guns. And people are going to own them. Unless that police officer was threatened with that man raising the gun up at him, and actually trying to do harm to him, he is absolutely wrong.”
During the interview, Omowale lied through his teeth and swore Sylville Smith was shot in the back. Smith was shot once in the arm and once in the chest. He was not shot in the back and even if he was, Omowale had already admitted he didn’t know the details of the shooting, so he obviously made it up.
Klein read him the details of the shooting:
The violence erupted after an officer killed a man who the police said was armed with a semiautomatic handgun and who fled after a traffic stop.
The police said two uniformed officers stopped two people in a car at about 3:30 p.m. on Saturday. The police did not provide details on why the car was stopped.
Both occupants ran from the car. During the pursuit, Mr. Barrett said, an officer ordered the man to drop his gun and fired when he did not, striking the man in the chest and an arm. He said the gun held 23 rounds.
The gunman, described by the police as a 23-year-old Milwaukee man with a lengthy arrest record, died at the scene.
Omowale reacted: “You say the man was running. If he’s running, then most definitely he is running in the opposite direction away from the police officer. Now could have gotten shot in the chest? Now that is possible because he could have turned in which direction he needed to go.”
“With a gun, don’t forget,” I pointed out. “And the police did tell him to put the gun down.”
“You are only telling me the police’s version,” Omowale retorted. “See the other man is dead. He can’t give his version.”
He continued: “We have seen so many times where police officers have made statements but yet cameras have come out to catch them in their lies. So it’s gotten to the point where America does not believe when a police officer says that someone turned toward them with a gun. And again having a gun does not justify killing someone.”
