Black Lives Matter supporter arrested after calls to murder police, white people
"On Thursday, Atlanta news channel WSB reported that Latausha Nedd, a supporter of Black Lives Matter who goes by the name “Eye Empress Sekhmet,” was arrested after she reportedly posted
"YouTube videos calling for a war on white people and police. The videos, WSB said, "are filled with profanity and hate for white people."
"Nedd also called for activists to "take over" police stations. In one video removed by YouTube, she is seen issuing threats against white people, declaring "open season" on "crackas," a racist term referring to whites. "I say let's have a take a gun day, and start walking up on these untrained (expletive deleted) and stealing their weapons," she said in another video.
"WSB said it was the only media outlet present as officers from the FBI, the U.S. Marshals Service and a joint terrorism task force moved in Thursday. According to the report, Nedd was watching WSB at the time of the arrest.
""We had just aired a report about her videos," WSB's Tom Jones said. Jones also approached Nedd as she was being brought out of her house in handcuffs.
"“You really want people to kill cops?” Jones asked. "I never said that," Nedd replied, shaking her head. Police, however, say her gun-waving rants posted on YouTube tell a much different story. A sheepish Nedd told Jones that she's seen worse videos on YouTube.
"Nedd claimed she was only telling people to defend themselves. Again, the videos indicated otherwise. According to the report, authorities acted on an anonymous tip, concerned about the nature of her comments." . . .
