Blacks OPEN CARRY while giving away food and have guns taken!! This does not happen to White Folks with Guns!

A Black Panther group says that it was harassed by Milwaukee police officers who also violated their constitutional right to open carry during an event on Wednesday, Dec. 28, ABC 12 Wisconsin reports.

The group’s members — associated with the Revolutionary Black Panther Party — said they were legally openly carrying firearms during a food distribution program when police showed up and began to harass them. The group says that police took at least one shotgun, which was later returned.

The altercation, in which one person was arrested and a child was elbowed in the mouth by an officer, was recorded on a smartphone camera.

“Our mission with the Revolutionary Black Panther Party is simple. It’s to help feed, clothe, train, shelter and defend our people,” General Jamal Canon explained. “And we have the right to do that without any interruption, without any harassment, without any terrorism.”

“Because we open carry, it does not mean we are looking for a fight. We are peaceful unless we need to be otherwise,” member Vaun Mayes added. “Weapons were taken illegally. One was returned. The other was held, along with our comrade who was taken on a petty warrant,” he said, according to Fox 6 Now.

Members of the group said police elbowed 10-year-old Nya Bryant in the mouth, which resulted in a “busted lip.” She said she went over to her parents because she was scared. Bryan’t mother said she plans to hire an attorney to file a complaint against the officer.

Milwaukee police, who claim they were at the scene and saw someone mishandling a shotgun, issued a statement about the incident. “Milwaukee police responded to a subject with a gun call. Officers monitored a group of armed demonstrators and encountered a subject who was unsafely handling a firearm,” the statement read.

Critics of the Milwaukee Police Department say it has a long history of abusive tactics and racial violence, and as recently as August 2016 the city faced two nights of unrest after a police officer fatally shot 23-year-old Sylville K. Smith, a black man. The department has also engaged in surveillance of activist groups, such as the NAACP Youth Council.

Revolutionary Black Panther Party members claimed on Wednesday that this is the “latest act of harassment” that they have been subjected to by the Milwaukee Police Department. “We’ve been followed, filmed and monitored by MPD,” said Mayes.

Cannon told the outlet, “Our mission will not be deterred by these tactics.”

Putin says he is staying put SO HIS FRIEND PUSSY GRABBER will take his orders.

Internet reaction is swift:

Donald Trump on Friday had a predictable reaction to Vladimir Putin’s announcement that he will not retaliate against the United States for ejecting Russian diplomats, calling the President of the Russian Federation “very smart.”

Trump not only tweeted his praise of Putin, but he also pinned the tweet to his profile, meaning it’s the first thing people will see when they visit the president-elect’s Twitter feed. Notably, the Russian Embassy also retweeted Trump’s reverence for a foreign adversary.

The reaction on social media was swift and dumbfounded, with many expressing outrage over the incoming president siding with a foreign country over the nation’s current president.
