Father of Slain Dallas Cop Sues Black Lives Matter and George Soros for $550 Million

The father of a slain Dallas police officer filed a lawsuit Monday against leaders of the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement for inciting what he called a “war on police” that led to the death of his son. The lawsuit was filed on behalf of Enrique Zamarripa, the father of Patrick Zamarripa, who died when a sniper killed five police officers in July during a protest in Dallas in support of the victims of police shootings.

Zamarripa is being represented by Larry E. Klayman, founder of Freedom Watch, a nonprofit that has used lawsuits to further far-right causes. Klayman is perhaps best known for suing Hillary Clinton, the Democratic presidential nominee, for her alleged role in the Benghazi attack; for suing President Obama over, among others things, gun-control legislation, immigration, and Ebola; and BLM and the Democratic Party for a “race war against police.”

In this lawsuit, filed in the U.S. District Court of the Northern District of Texas, Klaymen writes that BLM, while claiming to be a social-justice organization, is a movement committed to “further violence, severe bodily injury and death against police officers of all races and ethnicities, Jews, and Caucasians,” and that BLM is, in fact, a “violent and revolutionary criminal gang.” But BLM, which emerged following several high-profile fatal shootings of unarmed black men by police, is an organization with a loose structure, and no official registration.

The defendant’s son, Patrick Zamarripa, was working a bike patrol July 7 during a rally through downtown Dallas to protest the shootings of several black men by police. Near the march’s end, gunman Micah Johnson opened fire on police with a rifle, killing five officers, including Zamarripa. The Navy veteran died, leaving behind a girlfriend, two children, and his parents.

“I want justice for my son,” the elder Zamarripa told the Fort Worth Star-TelegramMonday. “He served three tours in Iraq, he protected his country, and he protected everybody. And he gave up his life doing that.”

The lawsuit claims BLM inspired Johnson to violence, because, it says, the group has crafted a divisive message that teaches followers they are in a “civil war between blacks and law enforcement, thereby calling for immediate violence and severe bodily injury or death” to police. The lawsuit also references a comment made by then-police Dallas Chief David Brown, who said Johnson’s goal that day was to kill white people, especially white officers. BLM has denounced Johnson’s actions.

There is no local BLM chapter in Dallas, and the group that organized the rally, the Next Generation Action Network, was not listed as a defendant in the suit; its leader has denied knowing Johnson. The suit listed 13 defendants, among them: the Nation of Islam, the Reverend Al Sharpton, the New Black Panthers Party, George Soros (who has reportedly donated money to BLM organizers), as well as several activists connected to BLM, including DeRay McKesson, who unsuccessfully ran for Baltimore mayor.

The lawsuit seeks $550 million in damages.

Johnson, who’d served in Afghanistan but returned home after being accused of sexual harassment, had expressed support for radical black-power groups, but even groups such as the People’s New Black Panther Party disavowed him, saying that though Johnson expressed interest in joining its ranks, he was turned away and blacklisted.

Soros funded the BLM and bussed in violent demonstrators to several Trump rally’s in an obvious attempt to blame Trump for civil unrest!

Soros funded and bused violent paid protesters to several Trump rally’s in an attempt to frame Trump for inciting violence. Soros day in court like Hillary is past due!

This should become or lead to a class action suit for every injury or property damage in all cities where he/dnc incited these protests turned riots.
