No surprise my friend LTC (Join to see) since BLM is Marxist they have shakedown thug artists in their ranks and are adept at bullying since most likely they were childhood bully's that survived.
Thankfully Louisville, Kentucky Restaurant local restaurant group owner Fernando Martinez is resisting the extortion efforts by racist BLM. Hopefully they will be declared a criminal organization and subject to RICO laws.

I searched for verification from other sources.
Background from {[https://www.tigerdroppings.com/rant/o-t-lounge/cuban-community-plans-rally-in-response-to-black-lives-matter-demands/91178928/]}
Members of Louisville's Cuban community plan to gather Sunday in support of a NuLu restaurant owner who says he was threatened by Black Lives Matter protesters during a recent demonstration.

Fernando Martinez, a partner of the Olé Restaurant Group, was one of dozens of business owners in the downtown Louisville district who recently received a letter from protesters laying out demands that aim to improve diversity in the area, which is known for its locally-owned shops and restaurants.

Martinez has publicly denounced the demands on Facebook, calling them "mafia tactics" used to intimidate business owners. And on Thursday, a small group of protesters confronted him outside his newest restaurant, La Bodeguita de Mima, on East Market Street.

"There comes a time in life that you have to make a stand and you have to really prove your convictions and what you believe in," Martinez wrote in his Facebook post. "... All good people need to denounce this. How can you justified (sic) injustice with more injustice?"

quote:
The demands and an attached contract, which were created by local organizers and activists, ask NuLu business owners to:

Adequately represent the Black population of Louisville by having a minimum of 23% Black staff;

Purchase a minimum of 23% inventory from Black retailers or make a recurring monthly donation of 1.5% of net sales to a local Black nonprofit or organization;

Require diversity and inclusion training for all staff members on a bi-annual basis;

And display a visible sign that increases awareness and shows support for the reparations movement."

Capt Gregory Prickett You forgot about the 3 Blinded federal agents in Portland. You forgot about the 48 injured officers from Seattle beat up by 'mostly peaceful' protesters A week and a half ago. You also forgot about the officer who was blinded and his eye socket broken from a flying IED thrown at the riot at the Christopher Columbus statue in Chicago. This attack came unexpectedly and the officers were not wearing the usual ninja turtle riot gear so they were not protected from frozen water bottles. The Chicago Police Chief, who just committed suicide, said at the news conference that Officers were now going to have full battle rattle on from now on. The Officers who are now called Gestapo, storm troopers and secret police did mistakenly apprehend one or more individuals but they did not disappear or end up in a political prison. The USA Law Enforcement is not Iran, Russia or China. This is not 1966. The BLM makes it sound like its 1966 again. The Anarchists are actually, in my opinion, closet fascists. I do hate the bugallo right wing. Portland is not serving the moral compass for protesting. The Protests were going for 30 days before the federal agents arrived. The Mayors of Portland and Seattle area idiots.

Capt Gregory Prickett - a 7 year period across the entire state? Why not choose a full decade across the Northwest US? Or better yet, all police-caused deaths since 2000 across the entire US? Your numbers will be more impressive, though even less relevant.

After reading your link, and the connecting link, it looks more like a "they said-they said" issue. Some of the non-black business owners agreed with the request.

It looks like BLM has evolved from the old Black Panthers. Only BLM is into extortion and many other criminal activities. I wonder what BLM is using all of those donations on?
