Black Lives Matter activist Shaun King has his life on the line. The popular social justice personality stepped forward this week to expose multiple people allegedly plotting his death.
King x Threats
On Thursday, Shaun King went to his social media pages to share the names and death threats of a private Facebook group of individuals coming at him. Shaun also asked his supporters to help get more information on the threatening people.
“🆘🚨🆘 A private Facebook group of law enforcement officers is literally plotting to kill me. For my own safety, and the safety of my family, I had to expose this today. CLICK THE LINK IN MY BIO for the full details. Here I include their names, their death threats and plans, and more. Who are you supposed to turn to in a moment like this? Police? The NYPD? The FBI? We felt like exposing them publicly was our best tool today. Tell me everything you can about the people who made these threats in the comments below. And if you see any more credible death threats, email them to us @ [email protected].” -Shaun King’s Instagram
“Tell me everything you can about these men and women. California Law Enforcement. If you click the link in my bio, I have included links to many of their Facebook pages. You can comment below.” -Shaun King
