MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Members of the Tennessee Congressional Black Caucus are outraged over a social media post shared on Lt. Gov. Randy McNally’s Facebook page, and members are promising an investigation into the original post.

They say the offensive post, which has since been taken down, puts McNally’s fellow general assembly members at risk.

“I’m still having trouble believing that he would endorse that type of rhetoric, which incites violence. We don’t have to guess whether it does,” said Rep. G.A. Hardaway (D-Memphis), chairman of the Tennessee Black Caucus.

The post reportedly showed an image of man wearing military apparel and holding a rifle, with the words “Warning to BLM & Antifa. Once you’ve managed to defund the police, there’s nobody protecting you from us. Remember that."

Pos!

3. Based on current events, nobody is protecting us from them NOW!

And I will point out that though I said “based on current events...”, the truth is that it has been that way for decades and decades. Back through the civil rights battles, back through slavery, back through the labor battles, back through the peace movement... there has NEVER been a time that the police were on OUR side, protecting the everyday simple man from the forces of racism, corporatism, xenophobia, etc.

5. Exactly, the police and RW militias appear to be one and the same,

and many of the police unions have endorsed Trump.

4. Don't think the police are protecting them now.
