Black Lives Matter to Cops: 'I Eat Pigs, I Don't Eat With Them'

Black Lives Matter to Cops: 'I Eat Pigs, I Don't Eat With Them':
"The Oakland Police Department (OPD) extended an invitation to followers of the Black Lives Matter movement to participate in a barbecue to start a constructive dialogue between the two groups. However, the police were met with flat-out rejection by a spokesperson who referred to law enforcement as “pigs.”
“A BBQ is definitely not going to stop this blockade,” Karissa Lewis, a self-described “radical black farmer from East Oakland,” told local Fox affiliate KTVU.
“And as a radical-black farmer from East Oakland, I eat pigs, I don’t eat with them,” she said.
...Meanwhile, Oakland Police have reportedly said that despite the protesters’ response, their offer remains open and that they are still willing to hold the BBQ at one of several locations."
