The FBI announced this week the arrest of two members of The New Black Panther Party in Ferguson. The arrest comes in the backdrop of increased tensions as the community waits on the grand jury decision in the shooting death of unarmed black team Michael Brown by Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson. The individuals were identified as Brandon Orlando Baldwin and Olajuwon Davis. Their ages and addresses were not made public.

The pair were charged in a federal indictment with making false statements to obtain firearms for their “straw purchase” of two Hi-Point .45 ACP pistols. The federal indictment claims that Baldwin claims he was the buyer when actually they were purchasing guns for another unidentified party. During the undercover sting operation, which has spanned several months, federal authorities discovered explosives and plans to make pipe bombs. According to an unnamed law enforcement official, the pair planned to detonate bombs during the ongoing protests in Ferguson.

Racial tensions have increased during the past few weeks as the KKK distributed flyers and went on national TV promising violence against peaceful protesters. According to Frank Ancona, KKK grand wizard, he believes that the protesters are in fact criminals and Michael Brown was a criminal whose killing was justified. There have been warnings from the FBI to law enforcement throughout the nation, to be on heightened alert over possible civil unrest if Wilson is not indicted.

A YouTube video has emerged of Olajuwon Davis, a.k.a. Bro. Ali, speaking on his beliefs that he is a “sovereign citizen” and a member of the Nation of Moors. The video can be viewed below:
