Dallas: Lily-White Occupy Dallas Joins with Nation of Islam Murder Cult’s New Black Panther Party to Invade Black Neighborhood After Fatal Police

Shooting; Residents Refuse to Join Protest; are Parenting Classes the Answer?

 



What doesn’t come out in the text is the facial emphasis that black activist Melinda Bell, who is already ripping off the taxpayers through her “job” with the city's Cultural Affairs office, gives to her claim that parenting classes are needed.

I just went off on a 515-word tangent about parenting skills classes that I had to lop off for another essay. But I’m not the one who took a story on a fatal officer-involved shooting, and turned it into a promotion for an irrelevant boondoggle.

Let’s rewind the tape.

Calvin Carter has lived in Dixon Circle since 1966. "In order to be safely in your home and secure, we will always need the police," he said. "What we need to do is learn to work with the police department."

Melinda Bell, with the city's cultural affairs office, agrees, and says there aren't enough programs to help build up the community.

"That’s why you have the upset things, and the people have to depend on drugs for their living, the mothers don't have help or assistance, and they don't' have parenting classes," Bell said.

There is no indication in the text or the videotape that Melinda Bell agreed with Calvin Carter. When WFAA operative Rebecca Lopez throws in “Melinda Bell … agrees,” she is committing a non sequitur, in order to create a false bond between the two speakers and their very different respective issues. Either Lopez and Bell are political allies, or Lopez is a supporter of every race-oriented welfare boondoggle to come down the pike.

The good news is that the neighborhood refused to support the outsiders, white or black. The bad news is that, as the videotape shows, many locals did riot in support of the bad guy just after the OIS.

But at least Lopez didn’t try to show local support for outside agitators that wasn’t there. Thank God for small blessings.

DALLAS — Protesters held up signs and yelled at police. They marched around Dixon Circle to get residents to join them.

No one did.

They were expressing their anger in the wake of the July 25 death of James Harper, a convicted drug dealer who was shot after fighting with a Dallas police officer.

They said they wanted Dallas police off their streets.

"If we make enough of an impression with as many people as we can, it will say something," protester Amanda Berry said.

The protesters included representatives from Occupy Dallas, the New Black Panther Party and a couple of other anti-police groups.

Bobby Johnson, one of the New Black Panther Party members, was asked about the wisdom of keeping police out of a crime-ridden neighborhood.

"I never said they shouldn't arrest... I agree," Johnson said. "If you are doing wrong you should be locked up — but killing unarmed people is not going to work."

None of the protesters even live in the Dixon Circle neighborhood. Residents of the area said they don't think these types of protests are accomplishing anything.

Calvin Carter has lived in Dixon Circle since 1966. "In order to be safely in your home and secure, we will always need the police," he said. "What we need to do is learn to work with the police department."

"That’s why you have the upset things, and the people have to depend on drugs for their living, the mothers don't have help or assistance, and they don't' have parenting classes," Bell said.

Residents say marching around the streets isn't going to get them what they really need — solutions.

Well if its an Hispanic instead of a black Dallas would be up in arms like Anaheim. Hispanics are about 41 percent of the population of Dallas.
