Cops Successfully Disarm A White Person Without Killing Them - Supplemental 28/05/19

Jesse Williams: “We know that police somehow manage to de-escalate, disarm and not kill white people everyday.”





Alabama 4Channer With Body Armor Guns Down Three Police Officers

A man in Alabama recently reminded us once again that the most lethal threat to police lives comes from the far right.

By David Neiwert

While protesting Black Lives Matter activists and the FBI’s “black identity extremists” remain popular bogeymen in the eyes of law-and-order conservatives, a man in Alabama recently reminded us once again that, in fact, the most lethal threat to police lives from a radical terrorist element in the United States comes from the white far right.

Three police officers were shot, one of them fatally, when they responded to a domestic disturbance call in Auburn on Sunday night. The man arrested shortly afterward, it soon emerged—Grady Wayne Wilkes, 29, a veteran from Auburn—was fond of posting memes from the alt-right online gathering spot 4chan, most of them mock humor about guns, white nationalist trolling signals, and encouragement for Proud Boys-style violence against left-wing protesters, who he described as “leftist scum.”
