Antifa

[BigDroppa]

Society scum. They need to be beaten and then clubbed.
Hopefully Trump brings in the Feds and blows the cat whistle for The Poor Boys to initiate additional beatings.

NYC: Antifa was extremely divided amongst itself today as some Antifa criticized other comrades for being afraid to be arrested for their cause

I view Antifa as only an occasional threat that should be handled locally and quickly, but some cities basically allow them "room to destroy".  Most cities do not of course, which is why we don't hear about them even in NYC.  They don't really match my definition of a terrorist group, at this point.

A police officer in Kentucky was fired Friday over allegations that he gave a Black Lives Matter organizer information about other officers working protests that could be used to "insult, intimidate and harass."

Lexingtion police Officer Jervis Middleton was relieved of his duties following a unanimous vote by the Lexington-Fayette Urban County Council after a nine-hour hearing and two hours of closed deliberations, the Lexington Herald-Leader reported.

"Officer Middletonâ€s conduct during a highly stressful and potentially vulnerable time during the history of our community — the most significant policing event in our community in 20 years — demonstrates that he should no longer be a police officer," said Keith Horn, a lawyer for the city of Lexington, according to the Herald-Leader.


Lexington Police Chief Lawrence Weathers and an internal police disciplinary board had recommended Middletonâ€s firing over several policy violations for sharing department information and for allegedly lying about it. He had also been demoted recently for a separate complaint related to accusations he used department resources to look up information about a woman he had once been romantically involved with, according to the newspaper.


"I felt like the discipline he received last time should have been a message to him and allow him to come back and become the officer that I know he can be," Weathers said. "After this, I just canâ€t see him coming back. To me, it was a violation of trust and a violation of the position of a police officer. He was supposed to protect the public, but he should also protect his fellow officers."

Middleton challenged the allegations necessitating the hearing.

The fired officer initially denied sharing information with BLM leader Sarah Williams, a friend, but admitted it when he was shown text messages obtained through a search warrant, city lawyer Horn said.

Middleton's lawyers argued he shouldnâ€t be fired because in their view the information he shared with Williams didnâ€t jeopardize officers†safety and it should be considered free speech.

Middleton, who is Black, also claimed he had been racially discriminated against at the department by other officers but the department had not investigated his claims, WLKY-TV of Louisville reported.


He alleged, in one of several examples, another officer had called him a "token boy" during a police event but had not been disciplined over it.

After some confusion during the hearing about whether racial discrimination allegations had not been investigated because a formal complaint may not have been filed, Weathers, who is also Black, said he will make the process for filing a complaint clear in the future.



Weathers added that while he understood Middletonâ€s concerns, it didnâ€t justify breaking the departmentâ€s information-sharing policies. He said race was not a factor in the recommendation to fire him.

The ACLU criticized the firing, saying that "Clear channels of communication and shared expectations make tense situations safer for police, protesters, and bystanders."

The advocacy organization said it was concerned that Middletonâ€s firing came as people are calling for more transparency between police and the public, the newspaper reported.

LEXINGTON, Ky. (AP) — A Kentucky police officer has been fired for giving information about the police agency he worked for to Black Lives Matter protesters.

The Lexington-Fayette Urban County Council announced its unanimous decision early Friday after a nine-hour hearing and more than two hours of deliberations, the Lexington Herald Leader reported.

Jervis Middleton, who is Black, argued that he shouldn't be terminated from the Lexington Police Department because the information he provided was covered by free speech and did not jeopardize the safety of officers. His lawyers said he faced racial discrimination at the agency and was frustrated because his concerns about racism hadn't been addressed.

The council's decision followed the recommendation of Police Chief Lawrence Weathers, who is also Black, and an internal police disciplinary board.

Middleton was accused of misconduct, sharing internal police information with Black Lives Matter protest leader Sarah Williams and being dishonest about his communication with her. The council dismissed the last charge, but found him guilty of the first two.

Weathers testified Middleton should be fired because he put his fellow officers in jeopardy during summer protests and because he had been demoted recently due to an unrelated complaint.

“I felt like the discipline he received last time should have been a message to him and allow him to come back and become the officer that I know he can be. After this, I just canâ€t see him coming back,” Weathers said.
He said race didn't factor into the recommendation to dismiss Middleton.

Lawyers for Middleton argued that the information he provided did not give protesters any insight into police tactics and did not compromise any operations.

“The only harm is imagined harm,” attorney Keith Sparks said.
The defense focused on Middletonâ€s frustration with what he saw as ongoing racial discrimination in the police force.
When asked if he understood Middletonâ€s frustration, Weathers said yes but “that did not justify what he did.”

And exactly 1 year later Manhattan was Looted and Terrorized  so saith the Prophet.

That policeman seems to have been fired appropriately. The ACLU statement makes no sense.

As a result, a terror designation would allow for the U.S. government to investigate and punish members of antifa despite the fact that the organization lacks the coherent structure or organization of, say, ISIS. Indeed, the structure of terrorism-related offenses under federal law "allows prosecutors to seek high terrorism penalties while avoiding the problems of proving that the perpetrators actually have the motives characteristic of terrorism," as the Brennan Center for Justice's Faiza Patel explained back in 2015 following Charleston shooter Dylann Roof's arrest. "More common offenses like shootings or kidnappings don't necessarily fit into this scheme for obvious reasons: including them would sweep in regular criminal activity." Throwing a milkshake isn't the same as hijacking an airplane, but both would be "terrorism" by designation in the Trump DOJ's eyes.

I'm guessing the have also excluded attacking Federal Buildings, Rioting, Looting and Murder.

[Blinky]

So Antifa isn't a terrorist organization because they aren't organized?

By that logic the Klan isn't one either then.

Biden will offer him the deputy AG position.
