This is not a joke. Black Live Matter carries out racially motivated hate crimes all the time.

A Black Lives Matter supporter was killed by police yesterday after he shot a rookie Kentucky State Trooper to death following a high speed chase.
This murder is the latest in a series of cop-killings nationwide committed by aggrieved African-Americans who falsely claim blacks are perennial victims of racial discrimination at the hands of law enforcement. The virulently racist Black Lives Movement, which formed after the death of Trayvon Martin in Sanford, Florida, in 2012, has been promoted by President Obama who has gone out of his way to foment race-based resentment and cop-hatred. The movement's members, who idolize convicted, unrepentant cop-killers Assata Shakur and Mumia Abu Jamal, have declared "war" on law enforcement and openly call for police officers to be assassinated.
Following Obama's lead, the Democratic National Committee (DNC) officially endorsed the increasingly violent Black Lives Matter movement whose unhinged radical left-wing members accuse police nationwide of systemic anti-black racism and of extrajudicially executing black Americans. In other words, it is now official Democratic Party policy that there are roving death squads manned by police officers who specifically stalk and execute without trial black men, women, and children across America.
The man who killed Trooper Joseph Cameron Ponder has been identified as convicted felon Joseph Thomas Johnson-Shanks. The perpetrator reportedly lived in Florissant, Missouri, near race riot-torn Ferguson, and apparently participated in local demonstrations protesting the death last year of Michael Brown, a young black man killed by a white Ferguson police officer after he tried to take the officer's handgun. There is evidence that Johnson-Shanks was so preoccupied with the Brown case that he even attended Brown's funeral and graveside service.
Johnson-Shanks, a 25-year-old black man, earned his infamy late Sunday when Trooper Ponder, a 31-year-old white man, pulled his vehicle over on Interstate 24.
Johnson-Shanks fled from the stop and was pursued by Ponder. The officer's vehicle collided with the back of the perpetrator's car after he stopped abruptly following a nine-mile chase. Johnson-Shanks opened fire on Ponder who succumbed to his injuries about an hour and 20 minutes later at Caldwell Medical Center in Princeton, Kentucky.
Around 7 a.m. Monday troopers caught up with Johnson-Shanks in a wooded area near the interstate. He reportedly pointed a gun at them, ignored demands to drop the weapon, and was fired on by police. About an hour and 20 minutes later Johnson-Shanks died at the same hospital where Ponder had passed away almost nine hours earlier.
Ponder, who joined the state police force earlier this year after graduating from a police academy, was a U.S. Navy veteran and a former SEAL. He was offered a track scholarship to Western Kentucky University but turned it down to serve his country.
He was also a track star in high school who stayed in touch his track coach, James Webb, and babysat his children, WHAS-TV in Louisville reports. Webb, a black man, said "I care about all my athletes, it was just a special relationship from the times he was in Hawaii and stationed everywhere, he always kept me abreast on what's going on."
But how do we know Johnson-Shanks was a Black Lives Matter supporter?
Because he made it abundantly clear on Facebook.
On Johnson-Shanks's Facebook page, which is registered under the pseudonym Jay MileHigh, offers insights into what he believed.
The final visible post, dated Oct. 30, 2014, protests the death of three young black men at the hands of police in and around St. Louis, Missouri. Under the heading "Justice for Mike Brown," it reads, "Why is it taking so long to arrest those officers[?] All We Want Is Justice!!!!!"
