One Day Before More Officers Killed, New Black Panther Party Started Baton Rouge Chapter

Publius’ Forum: Only a day before three police officers were shot and killed in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, reports circulated that the militant New Black Panther Party started up a new chapter in the city.

On Saturday, July 16, members of the militant group arrived in Baton Rouge to help lead a Black Lives Matter protest against police officers over the video taped shooting death of Alton Sterling. While in the town Panther representatives announced that local African American activists had asked to form a new chapter there.

“It is time for new leadership and a new organization to step forward in Baton Rouge,” local activist Edwin Smith said according to WBRZ. “I feel like the New Black Panther Party is the organization that can bring new leadership to Baton Rouge.”

Jerald Justice, one of the NBPP who arrived in Baton Rough to lead the protest affirmed that the group was working with Smith and other locals to launch the new chapter.

“With the help of the New Black Panther Party, these members should be able to handle any or everything in their city,” Justice told the media on Saturday.  more

    “Well, f**k it, then.”

  2. @Anonymous: People who use a screen name seem to have better grammar, I’ve noticed. Plus we can tell which “anonymous” made what comment.

    Just a suggestion.

    What, exactly, do you mean by “handle everything in their city”?

  4. Good trigger finger discipline on the guy with the AR. And the girls sure look spiffy in their BP Tactical Black outfits.

    You really need to look the part. That way people can tell you are serious and shit.
