Greg Allen, the black police chief of the El Paso Police Department says that Black Lives Matter (BLM) is nothing but a radical hate group. He says that this country’s leadership need to take a close look at them and see what they really are. That’s unlikely to happen since Obama, Lynch and Clinton have all bowed down to the group and sworn their support.
Chief Allen has been the head of the El Paso Police Department and it’s 1,100 officers since 2007 and under his leadership, El Paso consistently ranks as one of the safest large cities in America. In fact, for four years, El Paso was the safest city in America it’s size. In 2014 the number of murders jusped to 20 from 11 in 2013, but the city was ranked high in safety.
Chief Greg Allen said:
“Black Lives Matter, as far as I am concerned, is a radical hate group. And for that purpose alone, I think the leadership of this country needs to look a little bit harder at that particular group. The consequences of what we saw in Dallas is due to their efforts.”
Chief Allen was alone in his assessment. El Paso County Sheriff Richard Wiles said:
“That Black Lives Matter is a radical group? That is not my belief. I certainly understand that there are incidents occurring throughout the country that are bringing attention to things that are important to communities all across this nation and I think we have to, and what has worked well, is that we have to sit down and communicate about our problems. Now whether that affected this, I don’t know … I think unfortunately there are evil people who will do terrible things and clearly this person (the Dallas gunman) was an evil person. What was in his heart and mind, I don’t know and I really don’t care. What I do know is he assassinated five officers and injured people.”
“There is absolutely no reason for that. There is no explanation. There can be no excuses. As far as these other things that are occurring, certainly those are issues that those communities have to deal with and I hope that law enforcement can work with the community and overcome these things that are happening.”
El Paso County Judge Veronica Escobar added:
“Chief Allen’s comment is contrary to the collaborative, positive relationship that law enforcement and other leaders have cultivated with our diverse El Paso community,”
“We live in a country where peaceful protest and voicing opposition to policies, laws or behaviors that are contrary to our behavior is an important part of our American process. Peaceful protest, peaceful demonstration and voicing opinions against bad policy is important and it has a key role in our nation and we should honor that role.”
Which one of these three seem to understand the realities of Ferguson, Baltimore and Dallas the best and who would rather stay safe and pander to the mob mentality?
