@Regrann from @pepperspray_media - “The FBI assesses it is very likely Black Identity Extremist (BIE) perceptions of police brutality against African Americans spurred an increase in premeditated, retaliatory lethal violence against law enforcement and will very likely serve as justification for such violence,” reads the report, marked for official use only and obtained by Foreign Policy. The August 2014 shooting of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, was the catalyst for widespread anger and violence, the FBI report says, concluding that continued “alleged” police abuses have fueled more violence. “The FBI assesses it is very likely incidents of alleged police abuse against African Americans since then have continued to feed the resurgence in ideologically motivated, violent criminal activity within the BIE movement,” the report states. Some 748 people have been shot and killed by police so far in 2017, including at least 168 African-Americans. The report, dated Aug. 3 — just nine days before the white supremacist rally in Charlottesville turned deadly — appears to be the first known reference to “black identity extremists” as a movement. But former government officials and legal experts said no such movement exists, and some expressed concern that the term is part of a politically motivated effort to find an equivalent threat to white supremacists. from http://foreignpolicy.com/2017/10/06/the-fbi-has-identified-a-new-domestic-terrorist-threat-and-its-black-identity-extremists/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #blackidentityextremists #democracynow #pepperspraymedia #foreignpolicy.com #206bpp #bie #blm #fbi #whitesupremacists #jeffsessions - #regrann

The Black Panther Party for Self Defense, as a small community organization based in Oakland, CA, believed that black Americans should exercise their constitutional right to defend themselves against an oppressive U.S. government. The Black Panthers’ agenda involved taking up arms and patrolling their communities to protect against rampant racism in policing. What they did in the first few months of the party’s existence, was carry guns openly in compliance with California law, drive around their neighborhoods, observing arrests and other law enforcement activities — essentially policing the police. The patrols weren’t meant to encourage violence. Don Mulford, a GOP assemblyman who represented Oakland, responded to the Black Panther police patrols in 1967 with a bill to strip Californians of the right to openly carry firearms. Mulford’s legislation, which became known as the “Panthers Bill,” passed with the support of the National Rifle Association, which apparently believed that the whole “good guy with a gun” thing didn’t apply to black people. California Gov. Ronald Reagan (R), who would later campaign for president as a steadfast defender of the Second Amendment, signed the bill into law. from https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/black-panthers-california-1967_us_568accfce4b014efe0db2f40 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #theblackpantherpartyforselfdefense #theblackpantherparty #theblackpantherpartyforselfdefense #selfdefense #oakland #california #ronaldreagan #secondamendment #panthersbill #donmulford #legislation #nra #bpp #guncontrol #nationalrifleassociation #guncontrollaws #bobbyseale #hueypnewton #californiaassembly #thecapitalbuilding #constitutionalrights #pepperspraymedia #206bpp #pepperspray #media

@Regrann from @pepperspray_media - On June 20th, 2017 the Hip Hop world lost one half of the legendary Hip Hop duo Mobb Deep, when Queens based rapper, Prodigy died from complications caused by his sickle cell anemia. He was 42 years old. In 2016 he released a cookbook called, "Commissary Kitchen", based on the meals he cooked during his three-years of incarceration about 5 years prior. In the book he writes, "In a world where prisoners are treated like animals, we madeour experiences there feel more human by how we prepared our food." In this clip from Mass Appeal he talks about the prison strike of September, 2016, the largest prison strike in US history, spanning across 24 states. #pepperspraymedia #206bpp #pepperspray #ripprodigy #mobbdeep #incarceration #commissarykitchen #cookbook #massappeal #realhiphopmusic #sicklecellanemia #sicklecellanemiaawareness #prisonfood #prisonstrike #ushistory #attica #rikersisland #penitentiary - #regrann
