So the criminals form their own organization and openly campaign to do away with the police. How did we get to this place?

BLM didn’t get the memo. The Left wants to pin the “Defund the Police” on the Republicans.
Mar 1, 2023 — White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre took aim at congressional Republicans on Wednesday, accusing them of defunding the police.

How did we get to this place? Easy, OBAMA. He was the one that stirred the hornets nest in the black community when he said to bring a gun to the fight.

Citizens Move to throw him out

Police arrested the socialist mayor of South Fulton, Georgia, this weekend, after he illegally trespassed into a resident’s home.

Khalid Kamau, a vocal Democratic Socialist and cofounder of the Atlanta chapter of Black Lives Matter, is charged with first-degree trespass and burglary after a homeowner caught him entering his home on Saturday.

Homeowner Jack Lecroy said he confronted Kamau with his gun after he received a security alert on his phone that someone was on his property. Kamau began to walk away from the house and Lecroy shouted for him to stop and wait for police.

“I don’t have to listen to you, and you can’t give me orders,” the socialist mayor yelled in response, according to police reports. He then screamed profanities at the homeowner. He later said that he wanted to see the home because he’d like to live there and was aware that he was criminally trespassing.

“The City of South Fulton is committed to upholding the law and ensuring that all individuals, regardless of their position, are subject to the same fair and just treatment. As the investigation is still ongoing, we are unable to provide further details at this time,” the city said in a statement. Councilwoman Natasha Williams-Brown will step in to serve as acting mayor.

Kamau has served as the leader of the Atlanta chapter of Democratic Socialists of America and advocates for socialism.

“Democratic Socialists believe our country should be run by real, working people—not big corporations & billionaires,” Kamau says on his website. He further calls for defunding police and cutting military spending.



The Socialist Mayor has an interesting relationship with the City Council.

SOURCEthe Atlanta Constitution-Journal:

“According to an incident report obtained by Channel 2, Kamau decided to venture onto a private property on Cascade Palmetto Highway because he was interested in purchasing the home there, he told police. The homeowner then confronted Kamau, pulled out a gun and told him to stay until authorities arrived, the report stated. The mayor said he believed the residence was abandoned, according to the news station.”
...
<><>”In March, five of the seven members of South Fulton’s city council filed a lawsuit to throw Kamau out of office.
<><>The civil rights case was filed in the Fulton County Superior Court and alleges Kamau violated the city charter.

<><>”“The mayor has repeatedly betrayed the confidence of the City and the City Council by intentionally and knowingly disclosing confidential information of the City for his and others’ personal benefit since his election to office,” says the filing by council members Carmalitha Gumbs, Corey Reeves, Jaceey Sebastian, Natasha Williams and Helen Willis.

<><>“Most recently, it has come plaintiffs’ attention that the mayor has been recording the confidential executive sessions of the City Council — for his and others’ personal benefit—— against the expressed wishes of City Council members.””
