CHICAGO (WLS) --

Police departments and FBI agents met Wednesday to work on new ways to fight the nation's crime.

The group meeting included the chiefs of police from the country's 12 largest cities, along with representatives from the FBI and the U.S. Department of Justice.

The police chiefs who attended the two-day conference sponsored by the University of Chicago all reported that violent crime, including murder, had increased in their cities in recent years.

"Last year, we had an increase that was the highest homicide total we'd had in the last 25 years," said Milwaukee Police Chief Edward Flynn.

Washington D.C. Police Chief Cathy Lanier said this regression cannot continue.

"We can't allow our cities to go back to where we were in the early 90's," she said.

In Chicago, the city registered its deadliest day in 13 years this past Monday when 19 people were shot, nine of them fatally. On Tuesday, three people were killed and another 15 were wounded due to gun violence.

The Chicago Police Department also received alleged threats from gangs in two of Chicago's most dangerous districts.

"It's not going to make us panic but it will make us concerned and make sure that we make out officers as safe as we can," said Chicago Police Superintendent Eddie Johnson.

Former gang enforcer and now anti-violence activist Wallace "Gator" Bradley said he doesn't believe gangs could agree on such a plot and wondered why police have not arrested anyone.

"If the police even had an inkling of a thought that someone was going to do that, they would have kicked the doors in to catch them," Bradley said.

The police chiefs also said they discussed gun laws and lax prosecutions that allow violent criminals back on their city's streets.

Johnson insisted Chicago had progressed in restoring public trust in his department. He mentioned how quickly he stripped police powers from officers involved in the Paul O'Neal shooting as an example.

"We are trying to make fundamental changes," Johnson said. "We released that video in seven days regarding that police-involved shooting. When have you ever seen that?"

#BlackLivesMatter accusing #Israel of ‘genocide’ #OBAMA #GANGS

AUGUST 10, 2016 11:41 AM BY CHRISTINE WILLIAMS

Jihad Watch has reported on the growing alliance between opportunistic, victimology-manipulating  jihadists and the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement.

It should now come as no surprise that Black Lives Matter platform co-author, Ben Ndugga-Kabuye, is defending a platform that delegitimizes the state of Israel, in unison with Palestinian propaganda-pushers who label Israel an apartheid state and accuse it of genocide against the Palestinian people. The BLM platform, which states the goals of the movement, references Israel as an apartheid state and calls for ending U.S. military aid to Israel.

Direct lying is part of the propagandist modus operandi, as is lying by omission. Israel is not an apartheid state, as it does not remotely fit the definition of apartheid. Palestinians living in Israel have equal rights, and there have been Muslim Arab members of Knesset ever since the first Knesset elections in 1949. The Palestinian territory, on the other hand, is unwelcoming of Jews to the point of being potentially dangerous for Jews even to wander accidentally into Palestinian-controlled areas, as was seen in the famous Ramallah lynching case. Abbas has also declared that there will be “not a single Israeli” in a future Palestinian state.

Jihadists are fixated on delegitimizing and obliterating the state of Israel, as well as subjugating Western society, and they are proficient in using the victimology narrative as an aid. What better partnership in that endeavor than with the Black Lives Matter movement?

Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan called for the murder of police last year in the name of Islam, and he invoked the Quran; while this is what the Nation of Islamthinks of Jews:

“Jews have been conclusively linked to the greatest criminal endeavor ever undertaken against an entire race of people … the black African Holocaust. … The effects of this unspeakable tragedy are still being felt among the peoples of the world at this very hour.”

Ben Ndugga-Kabuye and the Black Lives Matter movement seem to also have “forgotten” the racist genocide by Muslims in Darfur, as well as black slavery in Islamic states. And it seems that they also “forget” that Israel is a state that has been fighting for its existence since its founding in 1948, so that measures taken against the Palestinians are in self-defense, and that Israel has given back all of the lands taken in defensive wars except those locations that are needed for strategic defensive purposes.

“Black Lives Matter author defends platform accusing Israel of ‘genocide'”,Jerusalem Post, August 9, 2016:

NEW YORK — The co-author of the Black Lives Matter platform passage accusing Israel of “genocide” defended the term, saying Israel’s actions fit in its wider definition.

Ben Ndugga-Kabuye co-authored the statement along with Rachel Gilmer, the former board member of a Zionist youth group. Ndugga-Kabuye told JTA he understood why Jewish groups disagree with the statement, but was perplexed that it has received so much attention.

He compared it with the accusations of genocide that black activists have leveled at the United States and called the Israeli-Palestinian conflict one of many international conflicts US black activists feel connected to.

“The way we look at it is, we take strong stances,” Ndugga-Kabuye, a New York City organizer for the Black Alliance for Just Immigration, told JTA. “The demand we’re making is we’re against the US continuing funding and military aid to the government of Israel. These are all things that are going to be in debate.”

The platform, released Aug. 2 by The Movement for Black Lives coalition, is largely a statement of the goals of a movement that coalesced around police violence directed against black people in the United States, mass incarceration of African-Americans and other domestic issues.

But it also calls for ending US military aid to Israel and accuses Israel of being an apartheid state. The platform includes a link to a website promoting the movement to boycott, divest and sanction Israel called BDS.

“The US justifies and advances the global war on terror via its alliance with Israel and is complicit in the genocide taking place against the Palestinian people” reads the “Invest/Divest” section of “A Vision for Black Lives.”

A string of Jewish organizations, from the Anti-Defamation League to the Reform movement and National Council of Jewish Women, has condemned the genocide and apartheid language as well as the BDS endorsement. T’ruah, a rabbis’ human rights group that opposes Israel’s West Bank occupation, also criticized the document.

Most of the organizations took pains to note that they are sympathetic to other parts of the platform, many of which jibe with liberal Jewish positions on the criminal justice system, economic justice and immigration.

“While we are deeply concerned about the ongoing violence and the human rights violations directed at both Israelis and Palestinians, we believe the terms genocide and apartheid are inaccurate and inappropriate to describe the situation,” NCJW wrote in a statement. “Further, BDS is too often used to de-legitimize Israel’s right to exist.”

Jewish Voice for Peace, which supports BDS, was the rare Jewish group that endorsed the platform in its entirety.

Ndugga-Kabuye said state actions don’t need to rise to the level of the Holocaust or other historical genocides to deserve the term, which he said could connote unjust state killing of a disadvantaged group. He compared his usage of the word to We Charge Genocide, a group that opposes police violence in Chicago.

“We’re talking about a structure of violent deaths that are state sanctioned, that are without accountability, and that are ongoing,” he told JTA. “We can say this is what’s happening in Palestine and not equate it with what’s happening in South America. It doesn’t say it’s the same number of people being killed or the [same] manner of people being killed.”

Ndugga-Kabuye said the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is just one of many international issues the platform comments on — including the dangers African migrants face in crossing the Mediterranean Sea, or conflicts in Somalia, Colombia or Honduras. He said the passage on Israel is longer because “there’s a certain prominence to it, and that may require us to go a little more in detail.” But he said the statements about other conflicts, charging the United States with imperialist actions, are just as strong as the language condemning Israel…

#DePaul BANS ANOTHER Conservative Speaker ! #BlackLivesMatter

Ben Shapiro

ANDERS HAGSTROM

 Ben Shapiro speaks at the Reagan Ranch [YouTube screengrab from YouTube/YAFTV/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cZRuwjvAMuQ]

DePaul University, fresh offbanning Breitbart Tech editor Milo Yiannopoulos, announced Monday that it will not allow another conservative commentator, Ben Shapiro, to speak on campus.

Do You Agree With DePaul University's Decision?

  Yes         No       

Completing this poll entitles you to Daily Caller news updates free of charge. You may opt out at anytime. You also agree to our Privacy Policyand Terms of Use.

Bob Janis, Vice President of Facilities Operations at DePaul, said in an email to the university’s Young Americans for Freedom chapter, “Given the experiences and security concerns that some other schools have had with Ben Shapiro speaking on their campuses, DePaul cannot agree to allow him to speak on our campus at this time.”

“Frankly, this is an embarrassment for DePaul,” John Minster, Vice Chairman of the YAF chapter, said in Shapiro’s The Daily Wire.

Janis, however, may be right to fear the presence of a conservative speaker on campus. DePaul was thrown into a weeks-long uproar following a May visit from Yiannopoulos as a part of his “Dangerous Faggot Tour,” culminating in the resignation of the school’s president, Rev. Dennis Holtschneider, in June.

Holtschneider had released a series of formal apologies to the student body for allowing Yiannopoulos to speak before announcing his resignation.

Like Yiannopoulos, Shapiro has frequently met with protest in his months-long string of appearances at various U.S. universities, but rarely have his supporters been the ones causing the chaos.

In an April appearance at Pennsylvania State University, Shapiro gave his speech under constant fire from protesters outside the auditorium. The Penn State newspaper,Onward State, reports that protesters chanted everything from “Let us in,” and “Black Lives Matter,” to simply “You suck.”

In an even more dramatic appearance at California State University, Los Angeles in February, both Shapiro and his audience had to be escorted by police to and from his speaking event due to fierce protest, an experience for which YAF is now suing CSULA.

The Young America’s Foundation, the organization behind national YAF chapters, released a statement condemning DePaul’s decision, claiming that “Any security concerns we face on campuses are 100 percent incited by the censorious, intolerant Left.”

“If DePaul does not reverse its decision to ban Ben,” the statement continues, “it must immediately remove any claim to support free speech and expression from its website and marketing materials or become a fraudulent laughingstock.”
