Jalina Porter is the new deputy mouthpiece of the State Department and could easily be mistaken for a BLM or Antifa member rather than someone who stands for law and order.
In a Facebook posting dating back to Sept. 20, 2016, Porter said that the "largest threat to U.S. national security are U.S cops," adding, "Not ISIS, not Russian hackers, not anyone or anything else." [H/T Washington Free Beacon]
Porter's reference was in response to a video released of Terence Crutcher, an unarmed Black man who, according to police, abandoned his vehicle in the middle of the street. He began walking toward police with his hands in his pockets, refused to show his hands, as he kept walking as police ordered him to stop. He refused to comply and was shot. A quantity of PCP was found in his SUV after the incident.
Autopsy revealed that Crutcher had "acute phencyclidine (PCP) intoxication" at the time of the shooting, a total of 96 nanograms per milliliter in his blood, as well as tenocyclidine (TCP), a psycho-stimulant and hallucinogen which is more potent than PCP, was present.
The officer involved in the shooting, Betty Shelby was tried and found not guilty.
Obviously, the incident was horrible, but when making a political point, it's always easier to blame the police officer rather than the person who resisted arrest or refused to comply with police.
Porter was not at the scene nor at the trial of Shelby, but posted:
"An unarmed Black man takes a knee for justice, bigots riot. An unarmed black man (with his hands raised) takes a bullet and dies, these same bigots are silent. Explain this to me, please."
It apparently was not obvious to the police at the scene that Crutcher was unarmed when he refused to comply with them and posed a threat as he approached. We don't know what he was thinking at the time, and yes, he was apparently high on drugs, but what are cops supposed to do when they believe their lives are being threatened?
Porter, a former cheerleader for the NFL's Oakland Raiders and NBA's Washington Wizards, was also a top aide in the congressional office of Cedric Richmond, now Biden's White House advisor. She also worked for the left-leaning Truman National Security Project where Hunter Biden once worked.
"If y’all don’t wake up and rise up to this truth, the genocide against Blacks in America will continue until we are near extinct," she wrote.
The State Department had no comment.
