New from me + @anblanx:

The Boogaloo extremist who ambushed a cop last week killed another cop in Oakland, trying to stoke unrest at protests

"Use their anger to fuel our fire. We have mobs of angry people to use to our advantage," he wrote on Facebook.

This new indictment shows Boogaloo extremists plotted on Facebook to exploit Black Lives Matter protests to further their cause for a second civil war.

"This needs to be nationwide,” one wrote on Facebook.

An alleged accomplice responded "let’s boogie."

The Boogaloo extremists targeted "soup bois," which is their shorthand for federal agents.

Memes about targeting the ATF and FBI are common, and they're referred to as "alphabet soup" agencies for their acronyms.

Boogaloo groups thrive on Facebook.

That's where the alleged shooter and his accomplice met before the feds say they took a white van into a protest to kill a cop and foment a civil war.

FB banned Boog groups from the recommendations sidebar this month.

Carrillo believed that the Boogaloo, or second civil war, was “kicking off now and if its not kicking off in your hood then start it,” according to the complaint.

The alleged Oakland shooter is the same guy who wrote Boogaloo phrases — "I became unreasonable" and "boog" — in blood on the hood of a car shortly after he lobbed pipe bombs at cops and before he was apprehended.

Two separate incidents, one week apart.
