Protests around the nation have Black Lives Matter calling it a “weekend of rage.” Violence erupted in St. Paul, Dallas police headquarters was briefly locked down after an anonymous threat, and a San Antonio police building was fired upon by an unknown person.
Protests Around the Nation
The protests occurred in Atlanta, Baltimore, Baton Rouge, Chicago, Denver, Detroit, Nashville, New York, Phoenix, Rochester, San Francisco, Seattle, St. Paul and Washington, D.C.
“Black Lives Matter, as far as I’m concerned, is a radical hate group; and for that purpose alone, I think the leadership of this country needs to look at little bit harder at that particular group. The consequences of what we saw in Dallas is due to their efforts.” El Paso Police Chief Greg Allen at a press conference
St. Paul
The protests in St Paul, Minnesota turned violent when people began throwing rocks and pieces of concrete at police, as well as fireworks.

Phoenix

No shame. If I was Black Lives Matter protestor & I saw 5 cops get murdered…I’d never protest again. NO SHAME.https://t.co/fEZqW61zZM

Weekend of Rage
The “weekend of rage” rhetoric sounds suspiciously like the “Day of Rage” terminology used by Palestinians Terrorists like Hamas.
The Dallas Police Headquarters briefly went into lockdown after a “serious threat” was phoned in anonymously. After SWAT was deployed, an hours long search for any suspicious person found nothing.
San Antonio’s Police Department was fired upon Saturday night. A man was seen running from the scene. The Chief stated that though their building has been shot at before, it was suspicious that is happened during this heightened time of alert.
It is a war zone.
