The “Black Lives Matter” (BLM) organization has faced scrutiny for alleged tax fraud, corruption, and other crimes. The group reportedly spent a staggering $37 million on multi-dollar private homes, private jet charters, and other luxury items.

Leading organizer Khalid Kamau catapulted his career through the BLM movement and landed an important role in government as the mayor of South Fulton, Georgia. Kamau became “America’s first BLM organizer elected to public office,” according to his website.

However, not long into the job, Kamau landed himself in trouble with law enforcement. Police arrested Kamau on charges of criminal trespass and first-degree burglary after an incident in Georgia.

A witness saw him allegedly walking up a driveway and entering a residence that he did not own. The witness called the police.

A homeowner of the property reportedly held Kamau at gunpoint.

The BLM mayor allegedly responded, “Do you know who the f*** I am? I’m the mayor. I’ll wait for my police to get here and see what happens then.”

Kamau later apologized and claimed it was all a “misunderstanding.”

“I just wanted to see the house,” he claimed. “I do apologize to the owners. I thought it was abandoned. I apologize for the negative attention that this is brought to our city,” Kamau said.

“I hope that the spotlight on our city right now will highlight some of the inequities that have been happening. I do want to thank South Fulton Police and the staff and officers at Rice Street for courteous and professional service throughout the day today,” Kamau said.

The mayor told police that he was heading for a dog park, but decided to trespass along the way to look at the house. Kamau claims he would like to buy the house even though its not for sale.

Kamau floated his own version of events to police by claiming the homeowner confronted him and called him a “motherf***er.”

Kamau claims the man said, “If you take another step, I’m going to shoot you.” The mayor says he responded, “Are you going to shoot me while I’m walking away?”

Kamau was released on $11,000 bond and must undergo a mental health evaluation because of the “circumstances of the warrant,” which includes a treatment plan.
