Ridgewood NJ, a Black Lives Matter event was held in Ridgewood on June 3rd from 11am- 2pm just outside the Police Department on Veterans Field . The invite stated , “We will peacefully gather on Veterans Field, on the corner of Maple Street and Linwood Ave outside the Police Department. We join in unity to address racial inequality and demand change in a flawed system. We stand for all those who have lost their lives due to police brutality and those who have been directly impacted by racial inequality. This is not an isolated incident, we are in a national crisis and we must join together and unite. Let us the people take the power back, let us show unity and peace. No more division… no more hate. We must be the change……. Let your voices be heard. Please wear a mask and practice social distancing while we gather.”
Ridgewood Police Chief Jackie Luthcke’s speech was very moving and uplifting. The crowd was quiet & respectful and well attended.
Disgraceful. No sickening. As police chief she might want to check the statistics on race and violent crime to see where the real racism is. Blood is on the hands of all these people who abandon reason and evidence and falsely accuse police officers racially bias brutality. We are going to find out where these leads. BLM is a domestic terrorist group organization. There is no peace through appeasement.
Still haven’t seen any hummingbirds yet this year.
The book says that they arrive in NJ usually by April 18th or so…
She needs to work off her COVID-19. Looking a bit like Hillary in her pantsuit.
Only certain Black Lives Matter, the Black lives of youths in Chicago & Black Police Officers don’t matter.
You only see her at a photo op
BLM has not been officially designated a terrorist organization, but the way they are going, they will be. I happen to know a couple of ppl who were affiliated with the org years ago. They left because BLM promotes values that go counter to American tradition of freedom and self-sufficiency.
A big part of BLM support comes from Islamic communities. Their agenda is recognition of political Islam in the US. While one may say that it’s a free country and we must accept Islamic ideals, consider that they do not reciprocate. I repeat, they will not accept your Judeo-Christian values. To them it’s all or nothing. Once they get a majority in their area, they force non-compliant out. Look at France.
An image average member or onlooker has about BLM is wrong. The organization is designed to keep blacks from integration into the US society. If blacks are integrated, there’s no longer need for the organization. Have you seen a politician or an activist who ever say, yep – my job here is done? They don’t exist. They will keep blacks scared and separated while accumulating power for themselves.
You may think you bend the knee as a show of respect to the marginalized, the murdered and and abused. Here’s something to think about. Symbols matter. And kneeling is a BLM symbol. No one cares what’s going on in your head, but your action makes political islamists, and other scum who want to destroy this country, stronger.
So don’t be a fool. Wanna help? Spread conservative values in disadvantaged communities.
Small group collecting by the clock tower at Van Neste Square for third night in a row with signs in support of the black lives matter movement. Would love for more to join (particularly some of the conservative voices I see here)!
