Dallas cop files lawsuit against Black Lives Matter
The Dallas Morning News reports that a Dallas police sergeant has filed a federal lawsuit claiming that the Black Lives Matter movement is inciting violence against police officers.
Sgt. Demetrick Pennie, president of the Dallas Fallen Officer Foundation filed the complaint on Friday and named not only the Black Lives Matter movement but also Rev. Al Sharpton, Louis Farrahkan, George Soros, the New Black Panthers Party, President Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. The suit seeks damages of over $500 million, claiming that the defendants have encouraged people “to engage in threats and attacks” on police officers around the country and specifically cites the attack on Dallas police officers on July 7 that left five officers dead.
Pennie claims in the suit that those named “have repeatedly incited their supporters and others to engage in threats of and attacks to cause serious bodily injury or death upon police officers and other law enforcement persons of all races and ethnicities.”
Larry Klayman, of FreedomWatch, is representing Pennie.
“Sergeant Pennie and I feel duty-bound to put ourselves forward to seek an end to the incitement of violence against law enforcement which has already resulted in the death of five police officers in Dallas and the wounding of seven more, just in Texas alone,” Klayman told conservative news site Breitbart.
