The Oakland Police Department (OPD) extended an invitation to followers of the Black Lives Matter movement to participate in a barbecue to start a constructive dialogue between the two groups. However, the police were met with flat-out rejection by a spokesperson who referred to law enforcement as “pigs.”
“A BBQ is definitely not going to stop this blockade,” Karissa Lewis, a self-described “radical black farmer from East Oakland,” told local Fox affiliate KTVU. “And as a radical-black farmer from East Oakland, I eat pigs, I don’t eat with them,” she said.
According to KTVU, Lewis used the “mic-check call and response technique,” which was popularized at many of the Occupy protests, in order to rally support for her response from fellow protesters, who also rejected the offer. KTVU notes that “many of the activists, at least at this one protest, seemed to be in agreement with her about the offer.”

Radical black farmer?
He would do well in Zimbabwe
Oakland going PC. I can tell you based on those I know, that members of their force have their hands tied when it comes to dealing with BLM. The mayor of that city is a serious panderer and coward, keeping OPD from doing their job.
FOAD you worthless PoS. You can’t even meet with the cops even when they’re pandering to your outlaw cause?
Some people are so stupid they will turn down
free BBQ...
We’re back in the sixties.
This is Ayreshole’s people. We just have to say one more cop dies and we string up ayershole.
BLM is really hurting their community.
If I were an Oakland small business owner and I had a job opening, in light of BLM activities, am I more likely to hire a black candidate or less likely?
BLM tars everyone with a broad brush, whites, blacks and cops. Sad really.
Have all BLM members actually been in some confrontation with the police? Or is BLM hatred for police based largely on indoctrination by a few vengeful bullies who have confronted police?
“FOAD you worthless PoS. You can’t even meet with the cops even when they’re pandering to your outlaw cause?”
I’m just surprised he didn’t say :we get pigs killed, we don’t eat lunch with them.”
This is Panther mentality. They better get used to it. I went by a City Hall the other day that had a BLM flag above the window in an arch. Trying to buy peace.
They should have said fried chicken and watermelon?
I hope these ‘people’ are front and center at the DNC convention.
#### em. Trump can bring this up and gain another 2 points.
Fox will report on it, at least Hannity will. Haven’t watched in a long time but some of the guys/gals are good for something.
Disgusting. BLM reminds me of Hamas. They don’t want peace at all. That would remove them from their positions of power and influence. Police should extend the invitation via Black schools, social groups and churches. Believe me, BLM does not represent the majority of black opinion on police. The unemployable younger people may be most caught up into the push of rebellion, as many young people tend to do regardless of race.
The only words I have will cause extra work for the moderators, so I won’t say anything.
The objective is to not heal the wounds, instead the objective it is to rub salt into them.
Harmony now? There’s an election in November!
Yes, let’s see some anger, Dems! Show us that you’re ANGRY!
The Mayor is tying her own hands too, by firing her police chiefs when she discovers to her shock that they are not perfect beings. How many police chiefs has she fired just this year? Four or five?
She is really just a union spawn, when you wipe away the smoke. Masking it with other bullsh*t and flavor of the day isms.
What a wonderful generation, all trying to be like Che
Who is funding BlM?
