    "A federal lawsuit accuses Black Lives Matter and several movement leaders of inciting violence that led to a gunman's deadly ambush of law enforcement officers in Baton Rouge last summer.

    DeRay Mckesson and four other Black Lives Matter leaders are named as defendants in the suit filed Friday on behalf of one of the officers wounded in the July 17 attack by a black military veteran, who killed three other officers before he was shot dead.

    The suit doesn't name the officer, but its description of the plaintiff matches East Baton Rouge Parish Sheriff's Deputy Nicholas Tullier, who was has been at a Houston rehabilitation hospital since November.

    The same attorneys who filed Friday's suit previously sued Black Lives Matter and Mckesson on behalf of a Baton Rouge police officer who was injured at a protest over a deadly police shooting last July."

    It's about time! BLM hasn't done a thing for black lives or peace in this country. They are a domestic terrorist organization and the leaders need to be held responsible.

    I'd be very interested to see the results of this lawsuit. It could set a huge precedent.

    Hard to imagine that this litigation will be successful, but the officers grievance is legitimate. The Scalise shooting didn't initiate the kind of constructive dialogue I thought it should have. In fact there's a PF thread on Scalise in which the congressman, and the incident are mentioned less than a dozen times in the 400+ replies. The radical fringes actually seem to draw inspiration from these tragedies. I anticipate this lawsuit will set off a new slew of protests. The human toll isn't even a consideration for radical political opportunists.

    The courts have continued to redraw any maneuvering room off of this kind of complaint, to protect the first amendment. Its very hard to get a judgement that an appellate court will sustain. they might as well remove 'incitement' from American dictionaries. .

    Sounds like he just wants to point the finger at somebody.

    If there's a case for suing BLM for inciting violence then there's a case for arresting them for inciting violence. Go get 'em fellas.

    Former Pres.Race Card gave them taxpayer-funded monetary assistance. He should be a co-defendant in the suit....

    This won't even make it to court. How do you sue a movement?

    Probably too generalised to succeed.

    I think there would need to be more specificity in this. Proximate and distal causes come to mind.

    I'm wondering if the officer will get a decent deal under worker compensation.

    This won't hold anything more than sentimental value.

    I think there's have to be a direct and specific link between the alleged incitement and harm being done to the officer. I do hope, as a retired copper myself, that he is very well protected with worker compensation. Relying on this for some sort of reparation is a bit desperate for the poor bloke.

    Hell, if that's the case, then those families of the victims of Dylan Roof can sue Fox News and other right wing outlets for his actions, but how far would that go? Nowhere.

    There are state branches of it, that's how. It's not a "movement"; it is an organization with ASSETS.

    You may be correct on that point until it's proven that along with their freedom of speech, they conduct violence in the forms of arson, pillage and physically assaulting people along their marching routes.

    You can't wishful think this enough for it to make it in front of a judge.
