“Black Lives Matter Black Panthers are telling followers to kill white people and police officers in the name of justice for the killing of negro’s by policemen in the line of duty.”

The white supremacist hate group is using the Dallas shootings to hunt for support in a liberal mecca.
Silicon Valley companies aren’t the only ones hiring in San Francisco; one of the nation’s most notorious hate groups is recruiting in the Bay Area.
Residents of San Francisco's Haight neighborhood opened their doors Tuesday morning to find white supremacist propaganda on their stoops and front gates. “JOIN THE KU KLUX KLAN,” the flyers, distributed by the Klan, read.
Hey everyone, the KKK is now recruiting in... San Francisco. https://t.co/XQGBTXSgqw— AntiDisplacementCoup (@AsterZephyrIsis) July 13, 2016
While San Francisco police say they can’t confirm the flyers’ origin, the KKK has been eager to take credit.
“Yes. They are from the Loyal White Knights of the Ku Klux Klan and we are diligently recruiting in California and the other west coast states,” someone who identified himself as Will Quigg, Grand Wizard of the Loyal White Knights of the KKK, told the Daily Beast in a phone conversation. (Amanda Barker, the KKK’s Imperial Kommander also confirmed the group’s involvement with the flyers, emailing the Daily Beast, “Yes that is our fliers.”)
Unless the Klan’s demonstrations veer into violence, as they did during an April rally in Anaheim, California, San Francisco police say they can’t take any action.
“We’re aware of the flyers, but we don’t know who put them up,” San Francisco Police Officer Grace Gatpandan told the Daily Beast. “We don’t condone anyone committing any type of violence, but the police can’t prevent anyone from joining the KKK. Obviously it’s not a pretty site but whoever put it up was exercising their free speech.”
The flyers appear to be in response to recent protests against police brutality.
“Black Lives Matter Black Panthers are telling followers to kill white people and police officers in the name of justice for the killing of negro’s by policemen in the line of duty,” the entirely capslocked screed says. “These negro’s were not innocent, they were thugs breaking the law, and standing up against police.”
The flyers are signed by Quigg’s “Loyal White Knights of the KKK,” a branch of the so-called “new KKK”. Formed around 2010, the Loyal White Knights have a history of campaigning off civil unrest. Following North Carolina’s vote to remove the Confederate flag from the statehouse last July, the group led neo-Nazis and other KKK chapters in a violent protest outside the building, chanting racial slurs and stomping on the Israeli flag.
In 2014, the group engaged in a flyering campaign similar to the one in San Francisco, distributing KKK recruitment materials in a “mostly white gentrified neighborhood” in Atlanta.
