In 2015, BLM was exposed as being a "movement for what it is: a racist and a violent hate group that promotes the execution of police officers".  Reportedly, BLM's twitter feed contained photos of activists wearing shirts that say "Assata Taught Me" and that BLM invokes the words of the convicted cop killer Assata Shakur at "all its events".  Assata, also known as Joanne Chesimard, is the woman that shot and killed New Jersey State Trooper Werner Foerster back in 1973.  The man who killed NYPD officers Wenjian Liu and Rafael Ramos in 2014 while they were eating lunch in their parked patrol car on a Brooklyn street corner in what "investigators believe was a crazed gunman’s ­assassination-style mission to avenge Eric Garner and Michael Brown"<ref>Larry Celona, Shawn Cohen, Jamie Schram, Amber Jamieson and Laura Italiano | ''NY Post'', Gunman executes 2 NYPD cops in Garner ‘revenge’, December 20, 2014</ref> posted on his Instagram page, "Going to put pigs in a blanket" prior to carrying out the killings.  When news of the NYPD slayings spread, BLM protestors located in Ferguson, NC chanted and celebrated, "Pigs in a blanket!"<ref>Katie Pavlich  | ''Townhall'', Exposing The Black Lives Matter Movement For What It Is: Promotion of Cop Killing, https://townhall.com/tipsheet/katiepavlich/2015/09/02/exposing-black-lives-matter-for-what-it-is-promotion-of-cop-jilling-n2046941, September 02, 2015</ref>  Others reported of BLM activists chanting “Pigs in a blanket, fry ’em like bacon”, while marching and protesting.

In May 2020, following the death of [[George Floyd]], the BLM was exposed to be devolving into a group promoting the destruction of the United States and the cherished values of the [[Founding Fathers]] after allegedly being infiltrated by the radical elements of [[Antifa]].  The BLM began promoting a campaign to #DefundThePolice, claiming they "demand acknowledgment and accountability for the devaluation and dehumanization of Black life at the hands of the police".<ref>Black Lives Matter, #DefundThePolice, https://blacklivesmatter.com/defundthepolice/?__cf_chl_jschl_tk__=2fddc8eb8604d172b8a25564f0f382c9244f155d-1592699319-0-AV7-5_wIiWv_RXFNZnGZRLUXp9cxzAqUL8U2RlPOr8DLNUCN1UrfU5PSp590OTQvVvDBap7yAtdZ6rIBGOVkc-EZSKffqoAg6wTqehs61NeFa7HGQUXD9pl68vp5b5c_w9yrhQphSPNxGqLvYAoksJxkvi6YolyFWCfIUi9G9QtLC2-95XFXGifZ6jNDn8eeeqU-kCum1gpW06QL78nZzUWo2A538Oxf7w1S31jEx3574vwParY4v-H_xb9_qzkcAcGpY2XtJSPJ823zYRi_g-E3DVemhhrurwB8RDwMTsflwCyf6XfgihngrG2uoJ0IcPqKYBv4UpYaMzMf-H0LccEItmhu-ytXxAMaXxMfalBF, May 30, 2020</ref>
