Former Black Lives Matter Supporter Claims Group Planned to Burn Down MN State Capitol – Heat Street

An allegedly former Black Lives Matter member has claimed in a YouTube video that the group plotted to burn down state capitol in Saint Paul, Minnesota and the governors mansion if the cop accused of shooting a black man hasnt been prosecuted.

Trey Turner, who claims to have joined the movement after the fatal shooting of Jamar Clark last March, accused the group of discussing potential plans of mayhem in a video posted on YouTube on February 27, titled the truth about Black Lives Matter.

He said he became part of the movement because BLM activists insisted they are peaceful and didnt hate whites. Turner said he was part of the 4th Precinct shut down and participated in the protests at Minnesota governor Mark Daytons mansion after Philando Castile was shot by a police officer last July.

According to the Turner, he had a debate with one of the lead organizers of the Black Lives Matter movement in St. Paul. He accuses the group of calling him a racist during the debate with BLM leader Brian Allen, saying I was called a racist, and I was called an Uncle Tom because I said that blacks need to address the killing of each other just like they need to address the killings by police.

The former member of Black Lives Matter then claimed he overheard Allen discussing with other people that if the police officer,Jeronimo Yanez, who shot Castile wasnt charged they would burn down the governors mansion.

And there was talk about going beyond that and burning down the mansions that are on Summit Avenue with the governors mansion, he added.

The allegationshave not been corroborated by any other source.

In an almost 20-minute long video, Turneralso accused another organizer, Curtis Avent, of spouting violent plans. He mentioned burning down city hall, he mentioned burning down the capitol building, he mentioned burning down the police station.

The alleged potential targets, according to Turner, were picked out because they represented white privilege.

Turner also added that these things were saidby organizers of the local Black Lives Matter chapter in St. Paul andhe wasnt behind any of the plans. He and the group parted their ways because he allegedly didnt support the idea of white privilege.
