Facebook was warned about a Kenosha militia group that rallied armed counter-protesters to the city — but says users' reports didn't make it to the right team in time

A self-described militia group in Kenosha, Wisconsin, used Facebook to organize a "call to arms" event hours before two people were shot and killed during protests Tuesday night.

On Wednesday morning, hours after the shootings, Facebook removed the Kenosha Guard group as well as the event it organized, where it urged people to "take up arms and defend our city tonight from the evil thugs."

But a new report from The Verge on Wednesday, which Business Insider has confirmed, reveals that Facebook had been warned multiple times about the group's violent intentions ahead of the previous evening's shootings.

At least two users reported Kenosha Guard, which had about 3,000 members, and the event where it aimed to organize armed counterprotesters — alerting Facebook moderators on Tuesday that the pages contained posts likely to incite violence.

Kenosha Police Refuse to Comment on Cops Encouraging ‘Militia’

Videos widely-shared on social media verify the police department’s interactions with both the vigilante group and the alleged murderer.

While details are necessarily scarce due to an imposed-and-admitted-to information blackout from Kenosha authorities, criticism of law enforcement’s behavior on the night of the killings has continued apace on social media–despite the apparent lack of interest from most media outlets.

“This is astonishing video,” said President and Executive Director of the Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under Law Kristen Clarke. “Officers in Kenosha in military vehicles stopped to engage with armed white men, told them they were appreciated and offered them bottles of water.”

Kenosha County Sheriff David Beth justified his deputies’ aiding the militia members and the shooter during a press conference on Wednesday afternoon.

“Our deputies would toss a water to anybody,”Beth said. “If someone came walking past, I don’t care if they’re a protester or who they are, they would pass water. We have cases. People have come to our command posts in this building. We have pallets of water and Gatorade.”

When pressed to explain further, Beth became combative and agitated.

“You’re asking me to tell you what one person did,” he said. “I can’t tell you that.”

Kenosha Police Chief Daniel Miskinis disputed the existence of video footage showing Kenosha law enforcement acting chummy with the armed men. When asked by a different reporter why the militia members were encouraged to be there by local law enforcement, he quickly shut down the line of inquiry.

“I don’t have any information that that existed,” Miskinis said.

The footage does exist, however, and does not appear to support the narrative advanced during the press conference.

“Hey, thank you guys,” one officer tells the militia members in a widely-viewed video. “You need water?”

Rittenhouse can then be seen walking up to obtain the water from the Lenco BearCat armored personnel carrier–apparently the only armed individual to take police up on their offer.

“We appreciate you guys, we really do,” an officer says as Rittenhouse catches the tossed bottle of water, per the video shot by Kristen Harris of TheRundownLive.

Miskins was later pressed as to whether law enforcement appreciated the militia members’ being there for “back up.”

“We’re done talking,” he told the reporter.

Chicago Code BLUE is a Facebook group for police officers and supporters. They posted this today, regarding Jacob Blake.

You can’t reform this.

Good - every single one of those protesters should be shot

Four recent polls — including one released this week by Civis Analytics, a data science firm that works with businesses and Democratic campaigns — suggest that about 15 million to 26 million people in the United States have participated in demonstrations over the death of George Floyd and others in recent weeks.

These figures would make the recent protests the largest movement in the country’s history, according to interviews with scholars and crowd-counting experts.

So you're good with shooting 15-26 million Americans?

Four years ago, PBS asked:

FBI warned of white supremacists in law enforcement 10 years ago. Has anything changed?

Apparently not.


THE EPIDEMIC OF WHITE SUPREMACIST POLICE


Hundreds of active and former police officers are part of extremist Facebook groups
An investigation from Reveal News identified nearly 400 current and former police officers
To find cops with connections to extremist groups, we built lists of two different types of Facebook users: members of extremist groups and members of police groups.

We wrote software to download these lists directly from Facebook, something the platform allowed at the time. In mid-2018, in the wake of the Cambridge Analytica scandal and after we already had downloaded our data, Facebook shut down the ability to download membership lists from groups. Then we ran those two datasets against each other to find users who were members of at least one law enforcement group and one far-right group.

We got 14,000 hits.​
Reveal says it could not initially assume that every member in a police Facebook group was an actual officer or even a retired one. They could have been individuals with general affinity and respect for law enforcement, relatives of officers, or those who aspire to join the police. So Reveal says it did research on hundreds of individuals, sometimes calling local departments to confirm active employment or retirement status. Reveal also joined dozens of these groups to verify its findings.

“Ultimately, we confirmed that almost 400 users were indeed either currently employed as police officers, sheriffs or prison guards or had once worked in law enforcement,” the report reads.​

You completely twisted the facts around Breonna Taylor's death, you lie in service to your racism. Breonna didn't try to kill the police.

Jacob Blake wasn't trying to kill the police. George Floyd wasn't trying to kill the police. Eric Garner wasn't trying to kill the police.

BLM is a full on marxist organization. They say so themselves.

Black Lives Matter co-founder Patrisse Cullors said in a newly surfaced video from 2015 that she and her fellow organizers are “trained Marxists” – making clear their movement’s ideological foundation, according to a report.

Cullors, 36, was the protégé of Eric Mann, former agitator of the Weather Underground domestic terror organization, and spent years
absorbing the Marxist-Leninist ideology that shaped her worldview, Breitbart News reported.

“The first thing, I think, is that we actually do have an ideological frame. Myself and Alicia in particular are trained organizers,” she said, referring to BLM co-founder Alicia Garza.

“We are trained Marxists. We are super-versed on, sort of, ideological theories. And I think that what we really tried to do is build a movement that could be utilized by many, many black folk,” Cullors added in the interview with Jared Ball of The Real News Network.

SINCE Stalin's death it has become necessary
to find a new focus for our hostility to the unscrupulous and
inhuman behavior of the Communists. I wish it might be
focused on the real cause of the trouble: Marxism. Much
force of argument is wasted among Western intellectuals
through a wish to exempt Marx from responsibility for this re--
tum to barbarism. Realpolitik in the evil sense was certainly
not born with Marx. But the peculiar thing we are up against,
the casting aside of moral standards by people specializ-
ing in the quest of ideal human relations, was born with
Marx. He is the fountain source of the mores as well as the
economics of the Russian Bolsheviks, and is the godfather of
the delinquent liberals in all lands.

The notion of Marx as a benign and noble brooder over
man's hopes and sorrows, who would be "horrified" at the'
tricks and duplicities of present-day Communists, is as false
as it is widespread. Marx had a bad character. His best
eulogists can hardly think up a virtue to ascribe to him-ex-
cept, indeed, tenacity and moral courage. If he ever per-
formed a generous act, it is not to be found in the record. He
was a totally undisciplined, vain, slovenly, and egotistical
spoiled child. He was ready at the drop of a hat with spite-
ful hate. He could be devious, disloyal, snobbish, anti-
democratic, anti-Semitic, anti-Negro. He was by habit a
sponge, an intriguer, a tyrannical bigot who would rather
wreck his party than see it succeed under another leader.
All these traits are clear in the records of his life, and above
all in his private correspondence with his alter ego and in-
exhaustible sugar-daddy, Friedrich Engels. There are bits in
this correspondence so revolting to a person of democratic
sensibility that they had to be suppressed to keep the myth
of the great-hearted Karl Marx, champion of the downtrod-
den and of human brotherhood, alive at all. To give one
example: Ferdinand Lassalle, who was eclipsing Marx as
leader of a genuine working class movement in Germany,
they discovered to be not only a Jew whom they called
"Baron Izzy," "oi-oi, the great Lassalle," "the little Jew,"
'''the little kike," "Jew Braun," "Izzy the bounder," etc., but
also "a Jewish ******." "It is perfectly obvious," Marx wrote,
"from the shape of his head and the way his hair grows that
he is descended from the Negroes who joined Moses on the
journey out of Egypt, unless perhaps his mother or his grand-
mother had relations with a ******." Only the Russian Bol-
sheviks, who went in for the religion of immoralism with a
barbaric candor impossible to an urbane European, had the
hardihood to publish these letters unexpurgated.

.................................................. ...........................

Marx was so sure that the world was going to be redeemed
by its own dialectic evolution that he would not permit his
disciples to invoke the guidance of moral ideals. He really
meant it when he said the workers have "no ideal to realize,"
they have only to participate in the contemporary struggle.
He expelled people from his 'Communist party for mention-
ing programmatically such things as "love," "justice," "hu-
manity," even "morality" itself. "Soulful ravings," "sloppy
sentimentality," he called such expressions, and purged the
astonished authors as though they had committed the most
dastardly crimes.
Later in life, when Marx founded the First International,
he felt compelled for the sake of a big membership to soft-
pedal his highbrow insight into the purposes of the universe.
He wrote privately to Engels: "I was obliged to insert in the
preamble two phrases about 'duty and right,' ditto 'truth,
morality, and justice.'" But these lamentable phrases-he as-
sured his friend- 'are placed in such a way that they can do
no harm."

The Failures of Socialism Chapter 8 The Religion of Immoralism
Author Max Eastman So staunch a Marxist that Lenin invited him
to Russia to report on Marxist takeover of Russia.

So, you proudly follow and believe anything a Marxist tells you. A trained Marxist who follows a tyrannical lying bigot. A man who hated blacks and Jews and found them to be completely worthless. And this man's immoral and false ravings are what you follow as you are following people who proudly say they are "trained" in Marx's ideas and methods of revolution. And you think they are going to take you to the "promised land"? You're fools who are following a chimera created by a raving lunatic who was creating a religion. A religion of immorality. There is no paradise at the end of the trail. Only suffering, sorrow, and death for Marx never planned on a paradise. He was simply someone who wanted to destroy.
