The Black Riders Liberation Party is a Black power militia group formed to be the modern day Black Panther Party.[1] The group was created by former Bloods and Crips inside a California prison. The prisoners became politically conscious and sympathetic to the original Black Panther Party.[2] After leaving prison, Mischa Culton, known as "General T.A.C.O." (his nickname, standing for "Taking All Capitalists Out"),[3] created the party and began organizing in Los Angeles. The group supported many of the old Black Panthers' Ten-Point Program, adding new adjustments for the modern era, and some ideological corrections. The party have recreated many old Black Panther programs including a program to watch police officers, and the old survival programs. Many chapters of the organization currently exist across the United States. The group often hold May Day protests to show their support for the Black power movement.[4] Their marches are often involve the open carry of firearms, although violence never occurs. The police have harassed the group in the past,[5] including an incident in which the police searched General T.A.C.O.'s home.[3] Today a documentary named "Let Um Hear Ya Coming" has been released, chronicling the actions of the party.
