No. From the very top "leadership" to the very bottom ghetto follower, the BLM movement is inherently racist and promotes the lies of ghetto scum over the word of trusted and proven law enforcement Officers.
Reasonable minded people seek reform and change through movements that don't promote violence and extremism. BLM is nothing but a bunch of domestic terrorists.
Now take everything you just said and put it into context of how society and the media is treating the law enforcement profession. Amazing how the exact same thing can be said to how we are treated. Hmm. Maybe you shouldn't jump to judgement either.
To go with my last post, you want to reform the CJ system? Fine. Go for it. But why are you focusing on police? Why not the prosecutors who charge the suspects, the judges who sentence or heck, the juries who convict. Police are only one part yet we are getting the brunt of it.
Now Astr, why is that? Reform the system means reforming it all. That includes you whom one day will sit on a jury and decide the fate of one of these suspects who have committed a crime.
Edit: I work in the morning so I'm going to bed. Can't wait to see how this one plays out. Make it good y'all. I need entertainment tomorrow.
I thought you support black lives matters? What you just stated above, is what BLM do whenever there is a justified shooting by police officer to known thug who was trying to end that officer's life.
Please pray tell - there was an incident where a known Vietnamese gang banger was attempting to shoot his girlfriend in the head; police responded and he wrestled with them in front of a crowd of onlookers. Because of his stupidity and his recklessness, he was shot and killed as a result.
Where is your black lives matter? Because the guy in the example was not black? Isn't that exclusionary? Dr. Martin Luther King preached about equalities for all races, unlike race baiters - his dream was that all races were inclusive.
Most groups I have seen that call themselves legitimate organizations for a certain demographic - whether Hispanic, Asian and even some black organizations appear to help most if not all of other races other than their own. Whether that be legal representation, to obtaining a green card from overseas families - however, they do not just stick with one race.
Your BLM does. Do you not think there are Hispanics that believe the same BS you spout? Maybe some Hmongs while your at it or Native Americans on tribal land? I mean, certain groups we call thugs - could be any race; but those who are thugs of any race tend to use their race card as a crutch whenever their stupidity catches up with them and they tangle themselves with LE. Wouldn't you think BLM would want to take in ALL DEMOGRAPHICS who believe that police just want to shoot them dead? Don't you think their power is in their numbers? Blood is blood - red.
Your group only defines itself with one color. That's racist.
Why don't you support a group that isn't so contradicting and racist - be a little consistent.
Oh - while you're at it.
Deputy Goforth. What did he ever do to BLM? What did he ever do with any criminal history background, any type of racist remarks? Anything?????? Is there anything, besides the color of his skin and the uniform he put on that you could legitimately say, was the reason he was shot and killed by the black suspect?
Wenjin Lieu? Rafael Ramos? Please, do me a favor....pull up all officers who have been executed or attacked and tell me, what was their prerogative against a certain race other than doing their jobs as police officers?
The list that I love how BLM puts out - every single one of them has a shady background, criminal past, present offense(s), and are not the angels that are adored by their money grubbing relatives who happened to saunter in the arena hoping to make quick cash out of the whole thing. (IE: Michael Brown's mother's t-shirt making business blunder lmfao).
And......all these slain police officer's families ........ do you see them trying to make a cent out of it? What about suing the cowards? The slain officer's families have a lot of things in common - mainly, they want a change and they want prevention. Not money.
The multitude of families of those that BLM represents, have a lot of something in common; and you think, change and prevention? Why is it, that it doesn't play out that way....it's squabbling over money and lawsuits, and profits...where was this outspoken family in the first place?
Convince yourself, when you look at the backgrounds of those black victim's that BLM purports were harmless - look for yourself what type of person they were. Than look into the background of those slain police officers and see what type of person they were. Not even a comparison. Quit fooling yourself as BLM has done with you.
Very well said sir.
astr591, in many ways, BLM has much in common with white supremacist groups.
For some strange reason, (well, not strange at all really - you have simply been indoctrinated with all the progressive kool-aid you drink) you seem to think that BLM = all black people. That is just as false as saying that the KKK = all white people.
Nobody is blaming black people for these horrendous executions. People are placing responsibility on the BLM group - and rightfully so. Do you even listen to their rhetoric? They openly advocate violence against police.
And guess what - many police officers are black. That should tell you all you need to know about how much they care about their own - not to mention every other race.
But if you need more, and I'm sure you do, then where is BLM when innocent black children are gunned down in gangland shootings? Nowhere.
BLM is a fringe political group which has taken their own race hostage. They owe both police and non-BLM African Americans (aka the vast majority) an apology for their shameful behavior.
*beep* it doesn't matter what color the thug was who murdered the last one of my brothers, BLM incites and endorses acts of violence against LE. "Black Activists" have been calling for the murder of LE and white people (try a google search). The media is trying to sweep the call for the murder of innocents under the rug. If it were whites calling for the lynching of blacks, the media and DOJ would be all over it.
"Fringe" members like Black Lives Matter St. Paul organizer Rashad Turner trying to peddle some cockamamie story about that chant directly tied to the cold-blooded murder of two police officers is "not advocating for violence against law enforcement ... it was meant to call for similar treatment between black people and police officers." (link)
"Fringe" members like Alicia Garza idolizing a woman who murdered a state trooper?
Why is it that the BlackLiesMatter movement only seems to get traction when they lie either implicitly (the picture of child Trayvon Martin) or explicitly ('hands up, don't shoot')? Why is it that the poster children for the BlackLiesMatter are criminals like Michael Brown, Freddie Gray, et al? Why is it that when someone points a gun at the police and is shot as a direct consequence of that illegal decision, that's worthy of rioting? But when a 9yo child is shot in her own home, it's just another day in the neighborhood? Why is it that people can get murdered, robbed, and carjacked (there was a woman murdered in the neighborhood, and a veteran of the Tuskegee Airmen was robbed and carjacked in the neighborhood I'm referencing), and no one in the BlackLiesMatter movement cares?
Why is it that there's not a cry to clean up their own house, and urge every single black person in America to stop committing crimes? (Note, this is *not* saying that every black person is a criminal. The undeniable fact, however, remains that except for alcohol related offenses, arrest numbers are showing blacks make up a share disproportionate to their percentage in the population link) 49.4% of the murderers, 54.9% of the robbers, 38.5% of all violent crime, 29.3% of property crime ...
I watch a show on TV fairly often, "First 48" ... it seems like the majority of the cases involve black victims and black murderers, and a million blind people who live in the neighborhoods where the events happen, because even though everyone was there, no one ever sees a thing.
But doing things like encouraging black children to do their homework, study hard in school, and apply for a real job ... that's too much work. Good black parents are like any other good parents--they want their children to study hard in school, they want their children to participate in activities (and not just the "big" sports like basketball and football, but things like marching band, drama club, chess club, the school newspaper, learning photography, learning computer programming, etc), they want their children to grow up and get a job. Of course, that sort of thing doesn't have immediate returns like looting stores, rioting, demanding something for nothing, and calling for murder of police officers and white people.
