Investigators began monitoring Balogun, whose legal name is Christopher Daniels, after he participated in an Austin, Texas, rally in March 2015 protesting against law enforcement, special agent Aaron Keighley testified in court.
The FBI, Keighley said, learned of the protest from a video on Infowars, a far-right site run by the commentator Alex Jones, known for spreading false news and conspiracy theories.
The reference to Infowars stunned Balogun: “They’re using a conspiracy theorist video as a reason to justify their tyranny? That is a big insult.”
Keighley made no mention of Balogun’s specific actions at the rally, but noted the marchers’ anti-police statements, such as “oink oink bang bang” and “the only good pig is a pig that’s dead”.
Keighley, however, later admitted the FBI had no evidence of Balogun making any specific threats about harming police.
He was particularly disgusted with the way the media and law enforcement officials portrayed the killings as justified and said that when he wrote those posts “I just mimicked their reactions to our killings.”

recently i saw some black voters saying how they dont regret not voting.
i hope they are paying attention to what is going on.
hillary wasnt the perfect candidate..i get it…but..you had to have known you were getting a overt racist in trumPutin.
I have not voted for Presidency and it is not required. My logic is two fold.
1) I will not vote for a candidate I do not feel is honest. I don’t think that is a high bar.
2) If the non-voters outnumber the voters in a presidential election, then things like what we have now, cause a catalytic event, which is happening now. Thus, my non-vote ultimately worked better than your vote.
It’s a long term strategy. Let them, Eat the oatmeal until they puke at the sight of it. The majority of voters do not understand basic civics or finance.
And don’t ask me to hold my nose and vote for anyone. I don’t cooperate with capitalist Oligarchs.
When I see a qualified honest public servant, running for president, I will vote for them. I would have voted for Bernie Sanders.
Oh dear, another ‘know it all’ who hasn’t got a clue…. We seem to have attracted a few of them recently…
