This may come as a shock to many but the Federal Bureau of Investigation are now stating that “black identity extremists” are the new U.S. threat.
Well, right before the white supremacists prepared to march and attack in Charlottesville, Virginia, in August, the FBI warned of a new threat and it was “black identity extremists.” A report from August was leaked and it details the information that the FBI “gathered.”
The report from the FBI reads:
“The FBI assesses it is very likely Black Identity Extremist (BIE) perceptions of police brutality against African Americans spurred an increase in premeditated, retaliatory lethal violence against law enforcement and will very likely serve as justification for such violence,” reads the report which is marked for official use only and obtained by Foreign Policy.
The report goes on to say:
“The FBI assesses it is very likely incidents of alleged police abuse against African Americans since then have continued to feed the resurgence in ideologically motivated, violent criminal activity within the BIE movement.”
A former senior counterterrorism and intelligence official from the Department of Homeland Security reviewed the document at FP’s request and was shocked by the language and content of the report:
“This is a new umbrella designation that has no basis. There are civil rights and privacy issues all over this.”
The FBI has yet to comment on the report.
