Black Lives Matter activist accused of punching horse arrested for speeding warrant on way to court

The prominent Black Lives Matter activist accused of punching a horse was arrested Thursday morning on her way to a court date.

Shere Dore and her partner were driving to the Harris County courthouse for an appearance in the earlier case when officers pulled the pair over and arrested Dore for warrants stemming from a two-year-old speeding charge.

Local activists were quick to cry foul.

"Law enforcement agencies have decided to set Shere up for coming out against them with her activism and various allyship," said Ashton Woods of Black Lives Matter Houston.

"They were on their way to court - the officer was literally staked out waiting for them."

The 41-year-old was taken to the Fort Bend County jail and held pending payment of her outstanding fees, prompting the Harris County court to revoke her bond when she failed to appear.

"It is interesting that this outstanding warrant did not come up when she was arrested in November of 2016 and more interesting that it would come up the morning of her court date," said Brian Harrison, who has represented her in the Harris County case, along with attorney Jolanda Jones.

It was not immediately clear which law enforcement agency pulled Dore over Thursday.

"I don't know why they were stopped on the morning of her court date, a date which I know a number of people thought was her trial date," Harrison said.

Woods agreed that the timing of the arrest was not coincidental.

"This is some clear foul play," he said. "I think that the law enforcement agencies are colluding with each other."

Local activists, supporters and friends rallied around the well-known advocate for the homeless, chipping in funds to secure Dore's release. But even once she pays the $1,083.10 owed in Fort Bend, she'll still be held until a Harris County judge can reinstate her bond, Harrison said.

The Harris County felony charge - interfering with a police service animal - stems from a spirited November march through downtown Houston.

During the nighttime protest two days after Trump's election, Dore was one of a handful of demonstrators arrested after the gathering spilled out into city streets.

As an officer on a police horse named Astro started to push Dore back onto the sidewalk, Dore allegedly hit the animal with a closed fist, a charge her lawyers have consistently denied.

"I want the world to know that our clients are absolutely innocent. They have a First Amendment right to protest," Jones said after a November court date.

"I think this is one of the first indications of what's going to happen with the new president."

Counter-protesters swarmed downtownNew Haven to shout down a rally featuringlibertarian speaker Augustus Invictus on Saturday morning.One has been hospitalized after getting pepper sprayed by authorities; at least threehave been arrested.

I saw three arrested. I heard there was a fourth, said a protester requesting only to be identified as IV. There are only twoother people in the U.S. with my last name and theyre in their seventies. My pronouns are they and this.

The rally was organized by local white nationalist groups with ties to Proud Boys, a new political movement helmedin the U.S. by the Canadian Vice Media-cofounder Gavin McInnes. The group has attracted thousands of members and promotes minimal government, maximum freedom, anti-political correctness, anti-racial guilt, pro-gun rights, anti-Drug War, closed borders, anti-masturbation, venerating entrepreneurs, venerating housewives, and reinstating a spirit of Western chauvinism during an age of globalism and multiculturalism, according to their Facebook page.

Augustus Invictus (an alias which translates into majestic unconquered sun in Latin)isbest known for controversial antics like sacrificing a goat and drinking its blood, along withrunning a failedcampaign for Marco Rubios Senate seat in Florida as a Libertarian (which promptedthe resignation of Floridas Libertarian Party chairman AdrianWyllie). He has openly advocated for eugenics and a civil warwhileattractinga following of mostly neo-Nazis and white nationalists.

Ninety-nine percent of the things that seem weird in my life can be answered with my religion,he told a reporter for Vicein 2015. Paganism, he added, is mostly about nature-worship. Its about being in harmony with your environment and bringing the world of spirit and world of man together. Its about balance.

Counter-protesters numbered about 150 and came from different groups such as Black Lives Matter, SURGE, and New Haven Uprising.

All of you are going to go back to Clinton [Connecticut] and were going to be the ones cleaning up after you! shouted a New Haven resident to the protesters. I got paint on my brand new iPhone.

The groups were last seenmarchingtowardsthe New Haven police station on 1 Union Ave to demand the release of the arrested counter protesters.

BTW

The NRA released an incendiary ad in April, calling for its members to fight back against the resistance with the clenched fist of truth while showing images of violent protests and injured Donald Trump supporters. The video went viral late last month when journalist Jeff Sharlet tweeted the video, hosted by conservative talk radio host and NRAspokesperson Dana Loesch, and described it as a whisper shy of a call for full civil war.

Now, Black Lives Matterhas responded with its own video. It starts off in the same style as the NRA video, with foreboding music and chilling clips showing Philando Castile and Dylann Roof.

But then, the video changes tone.

Wait, hold up, the spokeswoman said. Whats with the aggressive fear-mongering video tactics?

She then brings up the lights to reveal family members of black men and women who were killed by police, saying, When the NRA issues a public call to their constituents inciting violence against people who are constitutionally fighting for their lives, we dont take that lightly. We know that were not safe. Were not scared either.

Heres the original NRA video:

And the Black Lives Matter response:

Here's how Black Lives Matter has responded to that controversial NRA viral video - The Daily Dot

A police officer wounded in a shooting rampage in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, last year that left three officers dead sued Black Lives Matter movement leaders on Friday, accusing them of inciting violence that spurred the attack.

The lawsuit filed in a U.S. district court in Louisiana named DeRay McKesson and four other Black Lives Matter leaders as defendants and sought at least $75,000 in damages.

It came on the one-year anniversary of one of the deadliest days in modern U.S. history for law enforcement. On July 7, 2016, a black man angered by what he saw as deadly racial bias in U.S. policing launched a downtown Dallas sniper attack, killing five officers deployed at a protest decrying police shootings of black men.

McKesson was not immediately available for comment and Black Lives Matter leaders have denied accusations that their movement promotes violence against police.

About 10 days after the Dallas shooting, a decorated ex-U.S. Marine sergeant opened fire on police in Baton Rouge, killing three officers.

Baton Rouge had been hit by waves of protests after two police officers earlier that month killed a black man, Alton Sterling, under questionable circumstances. The incident was caught on video and sparked national debate.

The officer wounded in Baton Rouge, who was not named in the lawsuit, was shot by "a person violently protesting against police, and which violence was caused or contributed to by the leaders of and by 'BLACK LIVES MATTER'," the filing said.

Gavin Long, the black gunman who killed the Baton Rouge officers and was later shot dead, identified himself as a member of an African-American offshoot of the anti-government, mostly white Sovereign Citizen Movement, documents showed. Last year, McKesson and two other activists sued the Baton Rouge police department and other officials over the arrests of nearly 200 demonstrators during mostly peaceful protests over police killings.

Black Lives Matter Leaders Sued Over Baton Rouge Police Shooting - Newsmax

A man in Naples, Florida allegedly punched a deputyin the face at a traffic stop and yelled Black Lives Matter! when being taken to jail Wednesday.

The man, 34-year-old Anthony Denson Jr., was pulled over after a police officer saw he was driving without a seat belt, Naples Daily News reports.

After the deputy who pulled him over asked for a license and registration, a verbal argument broke out between Denson and the deputy.

Denson randomly accused the deputy of wanting to shoot him, and the deputy asked him to come out of the car. Denson refused, and the deputy threatened to use a taser if he didnt listen.

Denson then gotout of the car, but used that opportunity to punch the cop in the face. He was arrested.

Later, while being booked, he yelled Black Lives Matter! (RELATED:F**k The Police!: Black Lives Matter Activists Protest Shooting In Tulsa [VIDEO])

According to the Naples Daily News report, he is being charged with: obstructing an officer; battery of a law enforcement officer; threatening to do serious bodily harm to a public official; and driving while his license was suspended, second offense.

This attack comes after a statistics show that there has been a recent increase in attacks against police officers, especially ambush killings.

Some believe this could be due to a hostile atmosphere by police created due to movements like Black Lives Matter that often paint police officers as racist.
