Terrorism is defined as "the use of violence and intimidation in pursuit of political aims". This definition is the same used to declare ISIS and other groups as terrorist organizations. The police force in this country has earned this title due to the extreme violence used toward the oppressed and marginalized black (and otherwise colored communities) who are slaughtered and systematically exterminated under tyrannical rule. It is time for the pentagon to be consistent in its actions - and just as they rightfully declared ISIS a terror group, they must declare it's own police force a terror group - on the grounds of principle, integrity, morality, and safety.
This petition is in response to the one entitled "Formally recognize Black Lives Matter as a terrorist organization"
