Black Lives Matter and five of its leaders are being sued by a Baton Rouge cop who blames them for ‘inciting’ Gavin Eugene Long’s murderous rampage in the city last summer.
Long, a black military veteran, shot six officers, killing three and seriously injuring one, on July 17 last year in response to the shooting of unarmed black man Alton Sterling by white cops.
The suit, filed on Friday, says that BLM leaders ‘incited violence’ in retaliation for the death of black men killed by police’ and its denunciations of the attacks came ‘all but too late’, CBS News reported.
‘Obviously, at this point talk show hosts were holding them responsible, and they were having to defend the blame and responsibility for what they had caused whether in whole or in part,’ the suit says.
The officer has not been named, but his description matches that of East Baton Rouge Parish Sheriff’s Deputy Nicholas Tullier, 42, who suffered severe brain damage in the attack.
Tullier, a father of two, was shot in the head, shoulder and neck, and was left in a vegetative state.
He has since returned to consciousness, regained some motor control and can now communicate non-verbally.
His attacker, 29-year-old Long, was shot dead by a SWAT team member around ten minutes after the mass shooting began.
