Black Lives Matter founder Patrisse Cullors insisted speech that leads to “violent mobs should not be protected” in 2017. The unearthed comments follow a spate of riots, violence, and destruction at the hands of Black Lives Matter (BLM), and a New York chapter leader vowing the organization would “burn down this system” if their demands aren’t met. Several individuals – including retired Captain David Dorn, Italia Kelly, and Patrick Underwood – have died as a result of the group’s destructive protests. The organization has also placed a target on cops’ backs, appearing to inspire attacks on law enforcement personnel nationwide.
