The New York City group that called for “dead cops” in a widely circulated video is most likely– no joke — the Trayvon Martin Organizing Committee (TMOC).
In a piece outing “The Monsters Who Screamed For Dead Cops,” The Daily Beast’s Jacob Siegel cites a “web of circumstantial ties” to the group. The man who shot the disturbing video — showing marchers chanting, “What do we want? Dead cops! When do we want them? Now!” — told Siegel that he saw the group marching with signs reading “No Cops, No Prison.”
Siegel produces evidence from Instagram that the TMOC marched with that sign at rallies. Likewise, he notes that a slogan being yelled at the beginning of the video, “Arms up, shoot back,” also appears on the TMOC Twitter account.
Whether the group is actually the one in the video, they certainly appear to be very radical. The committee’s website vows to fight for “Justice for Trayvon Martin and all victims of white supremacy & capitalism,” and features a photo of an upside-down American flag being burned.
The group also appears to have no qualms about violence. “Most people expressed a belief (or hope) that Zimmerman will be killed sooner rather than later,” reads one blog post. “While we certainly aren’t opposed to this, it is not a real solution.”
In one part of the site, they confirm that TMOC members were among those arrested for assaulting police officers on the Brooklyn Bridge: “As of 9am on Saturday, December 20, comrades of the Trayvon Martin Organizing Committee-NYC have surrendered to the custody of the NYPD, for their alleged involvement in an incident on the Brooklyn Bridge on the night of the Millions March.”
Trayvon Martin is, of course, the black Florida teen shot dead by George Zimmerman in 2012. Zimmerman was found not guilty of a crime after claiming at trial that Martin had ambushed and attacked him. Despite the organization’s name, they have no ties to the Martin family.
This didn’t turn out too well in The Dark Knight Rises.
Agreed. No doubt about it, BUT A.N.S.W.E.R. IS the ringleader using all of those, and the LIV “useful idiots” they stir up for their agenda. You are correct.
Communists. They just can’t resist the opportunity to “bring it all down.”
“The worse, the better” was how Lenin put it before the revolution. Food riots lead to chaos leads to us taking over. It’s a very old formula, used many times with varying degrees of success.
In Indonesia the communists jumped a bit early, and were wiped out. 500,000 were killed putting them down in 65 and 66. After, no more communists.
Yep. They bees’z Guerillas.
So why wasn’t the bullhorn speaker arrested?
Where’s the name, the investigation, the outing of who he is?
Where’s the same inquiries as happened to Joe the Plumber?

Florida experience no problems....but then again a lot of Florida is armed to the teeth!
Seems like language of the SPLC...
You must have missed the Tampa, FL “angel” who was wanted shot an officer, threw his girlfriend out of the car and ran over the cop’s body as the “angel” sped away from the scene.
Then THAT tells you more about the SPLC.
