Community Event Name Changed After Backlash From Activists « CBS Minnesota
ST. PAUL, Minn. (WCCO) — A St. Paul pastor says he never expected his annual church picnic would be the center of a controversy. This year, Summit Church decided to go with the theme, “Love The Police.”

That didn’t sit well with some members of the group Black Lives Matter, so the pastor decided to re-name the event, calling it “Love The Community” instead.
Anderson says several protesters from the St. Paul chapter of Black Lives Matter interrupted a Sunday service two weeks ago to read of the names of people killed nationwide by police officers.

The story continues on the link..........

Where and when does this stop??

Maybe you disagree with me, but this is another thing that is just carried to far!

Trahern Crews from the Black Lives Matter group says they aren’t anti-police, they just wanted the event to feel inclusive.


The Black Lives Matter spokesperson said no one else from that group attended the church picnic today, although they were all invited. He says everyone had prior engagements.

They demand name be changed for it to be inclusive AND THEN Black Lives Matters, no one shows up to the picnic after being invited.

It's shaping up to be a hot one this year too, only inflames people more.

What is wrong with "Love the Community" ??

It sounds like the people of the black lives matter movement want to segregate and discriminate against everyone that doesn't subscribe to their narrow talking points and silly T shirt slogan.

"Love the Community" Translates to "All Lives Matter"

They were hoping for Hate The Police name change.

I wonder what what were the prior themes for the picnic.

Why do people let these thugs push them around? If they don't like what they see, move along.
