Black Lives Matter Movement Incites Violence, Class Action Says

A class action lawsuit has been filed against President Obama and several others who have allegedly incited supporters of the Black Lives Matter movement to injure or kill law enforcement officers.

Plaintiff Larry Klayman, a former federal prosecutor, has also named Attorney General Eric Holder, Minister Louis Farrakhan, Reverend Al Sharpton and several leaders of the Black Lives Matter movement as defendants in the BLM class action lawsuit.

“Those defendants have repeatedly incited their supporters and others to engage in threats of and attacks to cause serious bodily injury or death upon police officers, Jews, and Caucasians,” Klayman alleges in the BLM class action lawsuit.

According to the BLM class action lawsuit, the defendants have “publicly incited people to violence with the fiction that police officers and other law enforcement (including many black and minority police officers) are intentionally and systematically targeting and hunting blacks and other minorities to kill them for no reason other than racism or sport.”

Klayman accuses the defendants of inciting violence by promoting a false narrative that blacks and other minorities are being arrested and prosecuted disproportionately to the crimes that they have actually committed.

He asserts that the vast majority of crimes are committed by repeat offenders and that the efforts of BLM supporters are causing dangerous offenders to be released back onto the streets.

The Black Lives Matter class action lawsuit asserts that the defendants consistently condemn the injury or death of black people, “but almost never white people,” thus sending the message that it is acceptable to kill white people.

According to the BLM class action lawsuit, the defendants’ actions resulted in the tragic killing of five police officers on July 7 in Dallas during a rally protesting police killings of two black men. The complaint also lists several other police killings that were allegedly tied to the defendants’ incitement of violence against law enforcement officers.

“Without the false propaganda from Defendant Obama and Defendant Holder that blacks and black Muslims are being intentionally hunted, targeted and/or disproportionately arrested based on race, the waves of violence would not be occurring,” Klayman alleges.

He launches similar allegations against the other defendants.

Klayman’s BLM class action lawsuit charges the defendants with Deprivation of Civil Rights: Aiding and Abetting Murder, Conspiracy to Deprive Plaintiffs of Civil Rights: Right to Life and Liberty, violation of the Fifth Amendment, Terrorist Promotion of Gang Activity under Florida law, assault, intentional infliction of emotional distress.

Klayman seeks to represent a Class of law enforcement officers of all races and ethnicities, “as well as relevant Jews and Caucasians also threatened and targeted by the Defendants’ ignited race war, who reside in the United States.”

He is seeking compensatory and actual damages in excess of $500 million (or $1.5 billion in trebled damages), punitive damages, attorneys’ fees and other relief deemed appropriate by the court.

Klayman is the founding attorney of Freedom Watch Inc. and he is representing himself and putative Class Members in this BLM class action lawsuit.

The Black Lives Matter Class Action Lawsuit is Larry Klayman v. Barack Hussein Obama, et al., Case No. 3:16-cv-02010, in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas.
