Rep. Bass, D-CA, told AG Sessions that citizens who criticize police are targeted by Justice Dept

Trump/Sessions are abusing the powers of the government to squelch criticism. Hence, this law enforcement is going to surveil and harass innocent members of activist groups.

Sessions would not state that Black Lives Matter was plotting to harm police.

Watching today's hearing in Congress. Yuk

They want a race war because they think the white racists have all the guns.

Make no mistake what they want.

I am aware of the "trend" I have seen in headlines for the last year. I just don't have the details. I expect that Sessions is lying and his "people" are attacking BLM.

BLM is the canary in the coal mine to warn us of the poison that lays just below the surface. Cell phone video has replaced the network news to enter our homes with the festering rot of the Prison/Industrial Complex that has replaced our Justice System. Immigration Reform is the new code phrase for Jim Crow.
