Crowds gather at Black Lives Matter Plaza on election night!!
RECENTLY hundreds gathered at Black Lives Matter Plaza to rally and await the results of the 2020 presidential election Tuesday. The rally unfolded relatively peacefully throughout the afternoon and evening except for a few scuffles, but as crowds were dispersing shortly before midnight, a group of several hundred protesters began marching elsewhere throughout the city. WTOP’s Alejandro Alvarez reported that this group consisted of “black bloc” protesters, who tend to be more radical and often conceal their identities. He said the protesters launched flares as they wound their way through the streets, many carrying black umbrellas to shield their faces from the cameras. Alvarez said the event was not a coordinated rally. Rather, people were mostly waiting for the election results and watching coverage of the races on projection screens that had been set up at Black Lives Matter Plaza and McPherson Square. Alvarez noted that many organizers said they would wait until the results were in before deciding what to do next. At times the mood was festive, with people dancing and singing, but frustrations were also on display.

Supporters of Trump election & Black Lives Matter engage in war of words in Greensburg!!
HELLO EVERYONE!! On a Saturday afternoon a rally for those who don’t accept President-elect Joe Biden as the winner of this month’s election briefly spilled onto Greensburg’s Main Street as supporters of President Trump confronted motorists who drove by with signs and chants expressing a different view. As an estimated 200 people gathered for the 1776 Rally For Election Integrity, beneath spotty rain outside the Westmoreland County Courthouse, supporters of the Black Lives Matter movement circled the block in a motorcade — an alternative format for rallies on that issue that have been held regularly at Courthouse Square for several months. About 15 Greensburg police officers responded to direct traffic and keep motorists moving safely after the motorcade made an initial pass in front of the courthouse and at least one driver directed comments toward the Trump supporters, many of whom rushed into the street to respond. Police said no charges resulted.

BLM GLOBAL NETWORK CONGRATULATES JOE BIDEN AND KAMALA HARRIS!
RECENTLYYYY!!!! The BLM global network congratulated Biden and Harris. Once again black people, especially black women have saved the United States. Anywhere in the world, Black voters were the factor that tipped the scales in favor of Biden and Harris, especially in Rust Belt battleground states. We congratulate Joe Biden on becoming President, and particularly Kamala Harris, on becoming the country’s first black woman Vice President. But first, President Trump must drop his bogus lawsuits to challenge the results. The votes are in and the results are clear. Our government has always honored the voice and will of the people following an election and we can’t allow this year to be any different. America is a democracy, not a dictatorship, and we will protect, preserve, and defend our vote. It’s no surprise Trump is refusing to accept the legitimacy of the election results, and he needs to stop undermining democracy now.

BLM activist strike back at Dems slamming "defund the police"
Good evening everyone!! Recently a half-dozen Black Lives Matter leaders said in interviews that they felt disrespected and frustrated by the debate over the slogan “defund the police,” instead of the fundamental policy pushed by protesters for systemic changes to policing. They said Democrats didn’t have a strategy to fight against GOP attack ads and are now blaming them for not doing the party’s job for it. They also argued that organizers helped energize protesters around the election and registered them to vote, yet all they’re hearing is condemnation rather than appreciation. Others dismissed the initial infighting among Democrats as a clash taking place mostly on social media and removed from real people’s lives. Something has to be done immediately!!

LAW ENFORCEMENT FAILS TO PROTECT PROTESTERS FROM VIOLENCE!
Law enforcement agencies across the USA are failing to facilitate people’s fundamental right to freedom of peaceful assembly, and to protect protests and counter-protests from violent disruption by armed groups among others, Since the police killing of George Floyd in May 2020, there have been thousands of peaceful anti-racism and political protests and counter-protests across the USA. Yet in nearly 200 incidents where violence occurred between participants in conflicting protests, Amnesty International found that US police forces frequently failed to take preventive measures to avoid the disruption of peaceful assemblies and failed to protect protesters from violent attacks when they did occur. “Amidst unprecedented rises in political volatility and violence, US government and law enforcement authorities at all levels must meticulously protect people’s human rights to freedom of peaceful assembly and expression,” said Erika Guevara-Rosas, Americas director at Amnesty International. From May to September 2020, Amnesty International has documented and verified violent confrontations between protests and counter-protests in approximately 75% of all US states, and in about half of all US states it confirmed cases of police forces failing to keep assemblies peaceful and to protect participants from violent confrontations with counter-protesters.
Officers should definitely protect protesters from violence to stop all of these deaths & stop people from getting arrested during these protests

Ahmaud Arber's Killer sent racist message!!
HELLO EVERYONE! Recently the man who fatally shot Ahmaud Arbery had previously used racial slurs in a text message and on social media, a prosecutor said Thursday as a judge weighed whether to grant bond for the defendant and his father. Travis McMichael and his father, Gregory McMichael, have in been jail since their arrests in May, more than two months after Arbery was killed. The McMichaels who are white, chased and fatally shot the 25-year-old black man after they spotted him running in their neighbourhood just outside the port city of Brunswick. Questions about whether racism played a role in the killing sharpened during a previous hearing when an investigator testified that a third defendant, who took mobile phone video of the shooting, told authorities he heard Travis McMichael, 34, uttered racial he shot Arbery three times with a shotgun.

Car Rips Through a Crowd of Trump Supporters
HELLOOO GUYS! Recently a 40-year-old women who was a Black Lives Matter supporter was arrested on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon and attempted murder. The BLM March took place on Imperial Highway. Many counter-protesters were shouting insults and carrying American flags and Trump 2020 banners along the other side. Then, some counter-protesters crossed the 6-lane highway and confronted the BLM group. As the conflict grew more heated, and because reports said that some people had weapons, sheriff's officials declared an unlawful assembly and ordered all protesters to leave. Moments later the 40 year-old women in a white sedan accelerated through the crowd. At least two people faced major injuries and were transported to a hospital and all survived, authorities said.

SUNY MARCH
Recently the SUNY students which stands for the State University of New York at Fredonia and some community members took part in a peaceful march from Barker common in the village to campus on Saturday afternoon . The march was to spotlight a perceived lack of support that the administration has shown for the university’s black community. Some organizers who orgarnixed this march stated that The students are marching to make it known to SUNY Fredonia that we care about our fellow students, we care about the black students that are dealing with the effects of the continuous battle for equality,” . this march included 120 people and my honest opinion I think these students did good with this march
a lot more students should organize marches for Black lives matter movement because This movement is highly talked about , and has been going on for years . This is history they can be apart of!

The Breonna Taylor Case🥺
So Im pretty sure you guys have still been hearing things about the Breonna Taylor shooting which took place on March 13,2020 . If you don't know about this case I will update you . So 26 year old Breonna Taylor was fatally shot by three cops in her own home! these cops entered her apartment in louisville Kentucky executing a no-knock search warrant , so these three cops busted into her apartment and her boyfriend Kenneth Walker thought that these cops was intruders , and he opened fire. The cops opened fire back on walker and fired off 20 shots , in which Breonna Taylor was struck by the bullets 8 times ! The cops was ordered before the raid to knock before just entering but they didn't listen at all , and killed a innocent black lady . This is what I mean by cops need to listen and think before they react , leading from all this all types of protests are breaking out in Louisville ! But the good thing is Breonna Taylor family just won her lawsuit , which I'm extremely happy for them -Tanasia E September 20

so the second issue I will be talking about is about a Black Lives Matter protester breaking his arm after being shoved by a NYPD officer . Four women and two men was arrested and released for disorderly conduct . The victim who was pushed on the ground was name Keith Clingman . This man was seen on video holding onto a woman who was being arrested, and falling to the street after an officer shoved him away ! Clingman said that he broke his arm in two places and he went to the hospital! He asked the officed For his name and badge number and even told him that his arm was broken but the officer didnt seem to care at all , and didn't even check up on the man ! how cruel is that??? thats soooo crazy !!! Officers don't care about how they treat people and that's just said ! whats your viewpoint? -TanasiaE September 13,11:43

Ok so I will be talking about two major events that happened over the weekend !! The first one is the protesters blocking the NBA Buses at Disney World after the lakers win!! The protesters was protesting against the killing of Salaythis Melvin by the Orange County deputy James Montiel last month . This man was 22 year old and he was shot multiple times outside of Dicks sporting goods by police officers !! but my question is why couldn't he have been tased instead of shot at ?? Why it couldn't be a different approach? i feel like officers shouldnt automatically just start shooting at a person they should ask wuestos first and maybe it won't be as many protesting ! Black lives do matter !!!

Hey guys I’m back!!!!! So as we all know there are people across the world still fighting for blacks. We all just want to be able to be as equal as the whites, which shouldn’t even be a problem. There are things that whites are able to do but the minute as a black person does it we are bound to be kilt or held a gun point. For example the teenager named Kyle Rittenhouse was able to walk down the street during a protest carrying a military style gun and not one police officer stop him. Mind you now this was going on in the same city Jacob Blake Jr was shot in! But it was okay to shoot a unarmed black man in front of his kids? Our people has not stop matching yet and that’s all because of situations like that. WE WANT TO BE JUST AS EQUAL AS THE WHITES. But I must admit some whites are standing with us and feel the same just as we do. Nobody is perfect and not every cop is a bad cop but they must stop the unfairness. We are still trying to do everything we can to bring our community together I mean everything!

The Blake’s Shooting .
Hey guys welcome back! I know you all have heard the recent news outbreak and latest protests about the shooting of an unarmed black male whose name is Jacob Blake. On August 23,2020 Jacob Blake was trying to break up a fight with two ladies in Kenosha Wisconsin beside these apartment buildings , when the Kenosha police department was notified that it was a domestic issue going on . A witness by the name of Raysean White was across the street and heard the women arguing and started to film , while doing that he saw Jacob Blake trying to resolve the altercation. When Kenosha Police Officers arrived to the incident they saw Jacob Blake walking back to the driver’s side of his car, and seen him opening his door. Raysean White filmed all of this on camera and caught the police officers following closely behind Blake and shooting him seven times in the back , as he leans in his car. SO NOW ?? I have to say what was the reason for killing this innocent man ! Out of literally nowhere ! He didn’t even have a weapon on him or had any intention of causing harm to the two ladies or neither the cops . I feel as if the police should’ve asked questions first and don’t react so fastly , cause as of right now Jacob Blake is literally fighting for his life and he may not even be able to walk again!! What’s you guys view on this or feelings ? comment below
