FBI warns of ‘New Black Panther Party’ leader inciting violence in Ferguson

ST. LOUIS, MO (KTVI) – The FBI is concerned members of the New Black Panther Party are in Ferguson, Missouri and advocating violence against police, according to an alert from the St. Louis Division of the FBI, reported KTVI.

Chawn Kweli, National Chief of Staff for the NBPP is in town, along with other members, to respond to the shooting of Michael Brown.

The St. Louis suburb of 21,000 has been wracked by violence as outraged protesters demonstrated over the 18-year-old’s shooting faced off with police.

As federal civil rights investigators and the FBI carry out their own inquiry into the case, tensions are running high in Ferguson, where there’s a history of distrust between the predominately black community and the largely white police force.

Brown was African-American. Police have not identified the shooter, but a witness told CNN on Tuesday that the officer who opened fire is a Caucasian male.

Kweli posted on Facebook , “This is the hour all the greats promised. If you die, die like a warrior. I’ll see you on the ground.”

He is posting updates from Ferguson under the tag: Live Battle Report.

The website for the New Black Panther Party is here. The group, founded in 1989, is not an official successor of the Black Panther Party, according to the Huey P. Newton Foundation. Members of the original Black Panther Party have insisted that the newer party is illegitimate and said that hey only “pretend to walk in the footsteps of the Party’s true heroes.”

They have firmly declared, “There is no new Black Panther Party” and condemned the new groups use of the name.

Well, prior to Janelle jumping with a little bit of hysteria, most of the discussion on VJ has been about whether an innocent kid was gunned down by a rogue cop or not. In some of our minds, at least, color doesn't matter. Justice does. For the 30 minutes that the media was reporting the cop as black, my feelings on the subject did not change one bit. I just want to know why the cop used deadly force when it appeared (from my limited comprehension) to be unnecessary. Hopefully in time, we will get an answer that is satisfactory. But if this turns out to be a circus like the GZ/Tm issue, I doubt we will ever get enough of the truth.

Here's the problem. The bolded part isn't true for a few people here. And that's why Janelle, along with myself, gets heated. Depending on what color the person is, will determine the level of outrage from some posters.

there is a difference between not personally considering race in the scenario (i'm with you, i would feel the same way if the cop was black) and believing that race has nothing to do with what's going on.

Then for the love of Pete, please stop painting everyone with the same broad brush. I get heated when I hear racist stuff too, but it goes both ways. And you and she can be just as bad as those few you mention. I would say that 95% or more of the people you interact with here on VJ are nowhere near as racist as you like to proclaim. And the other 5% just aren't worth your time, now are they?

I'd say around 60/40, just because I can't stand you.

You can't stand me because you know I make sense. Can't be because of race, cuz my signature negates that.

Oh Jesus. A few wing nuts show up and I promise you some idiot will be saying the klan enjoys popular support.

On another note. I can't imagine any redneck being stupid enough to get in the middle of that band of out of their mind racist looters, and expect to survive.

I ain't saying they deserve to die, I am just saying those Klansman, much like M. Brown, need to accept that when you make poor choices, be prepared for poor outcomes.

Nope, it has jumped the shark now. I revise my statement to... The people that originally made this about race were black.
