RT | Black Lives Matter has come under fire from over 100,000 people
who have signed on to have the anti-police brutality group classified as
a terrorist organization in a White House petition. However, the
signatories may learn that petitions don’t matter.
A petition seeking
to classify the civil rights organization Black Lives Matter as a
terrorist outfit has exceeded 100,000 signatures on the White House’s
petition center, We the People. Any initiative that receives at least
100,000 signatures is placed on a list of pending petitions to which the
administration must respond within 60 days.
The author of the
petition, known only as Y.S., created the petition a day after Alton
Sterling was killed by police in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and the same
day that Philando Castile was shot during a traffic stop in a St. Paul,
Minnesota suburb.
