Black Lives Matter Bay Area and other organizations said Friday that they will not participate in this weekend’s San Francisco Pride Parade due to increased policing in the wake of the Orlando nightclub shooting.

Black Lives Matter, which was to be an organizational grand marshal for the parade themed “For Racial and Economic Justice,” cited concerns over the San Francisco Police Department’s “recent track record of racist scandal and killings of people of color” and how first responders can be a source of harm to “queer communities of color.”

“The Black Lives Matter network is grateful to the people of San Francisco for choosing us, we choose you too,” said Malkia Cyril, a member of Black Lives Matter, in a press release. “As queer people of color, we are disproportionately targeted by both vigilante and police violence.

“We know firsthand that increasing the police presence at Pride does not increase safety for all people,”

Make sure there are lots of really big "Gun Free Zone" signs everywere and then you'll be really safe.

Are they really meaning to say, that somehow it’s dangerous, for people of color, or homosexual people of color, to be at the homosexual pride parade??? Really????

Most of those involved with Black Lies Matter are from the criminal element, so it is not surprising that they would want to avoid the cops.

Didn't stop black and white morons from physically attacking white victims with abandon, knowing that the politically correct police in certain areas are strictly cosmetic.

I am puzzled however, to read that the most pervert-friendly city in the country is viewed as the most efficient for preventing wholesale violence.

I’m so confused. Does this mean blacks aren’t suppose to like gays? Or that the police are evil - but they are the only ones who should be allowed to have guns? I am trying to understand the left wing logic but I am tying myself into knots trying to keep up with the double standards.

Exactly what I was going to post.

Wrap your head around this: how would a leftist react to a black, gay cop?

“......due to increased police presence”.....

Really? Guess it disrupted their plan for violence. Too bad, dumb asses.

“I’m sure every one of the BLM people has outstanding warrants.”

Some leos with smart phones connected to a Cloud with facial recognition might have a field day with the BLM thugs.

Wonder how many facial bounty hunters are out making bounty money with their smart phones connected to a cloud with
facial recognition?
