No Punishment for Black Lives Matter Protesters Harassing Dartmouth Students - Breitbart

Yes, really, police misconduct. That's exactly what BLM is about.

Not sure what you're trying to prove with your link, or what it has to do with the murder on Lakeshore Dr.

Right, because "the blacks" and "the liberals" are obviously big fans of homicide...

Are people making absurd posts in this thread racists or just dummies? The Lakeshore Dr. murder has NOTHING to do with "BLM" "the blacks" "the liberals" or any other invented boogeymen. Complete logical reasoning fail.

I mean, why isn't BLM protesting the budget crisis in Springfield? And why aren't they protesting Putin? And what about the starving people in Africa?

Don't they know that police misconduct doesn't exist if you don't also protest completely unrelated things?

This was a homicide. Has absolutely zero to do with your opinions on BLM or CPD.

Okay let me rephrase.

They would have to worry about police brutality of all races, and from all races.

I.e., Black cops shooting Blacks. And if you have a rare situation of Black cops shooting Whites.

No they just respect their own lives and those of the general public more than the lives of armed offenders resisting arrest. Nearly all the so-called victims would be alive today if they got on the ground with their hands behind their backs.

Laquan Mcdonald was high on PCP suspected of breaking into vehicles, brandishing a knife, and lunging at officers and damaging police vehicles and not complying with instructions to drop the knife and surrender.

Michael Brown robbed a convenient store and beat a cop so bad he nearly fractured the officer's skull and finally did not comply with instructions to surrender.

The list goes on and they would likely have suffered the same fate no mater what race they were but the fact they were black fits the distorted narrative that the police are evil racist murderers.

If you want the police to respect your life then don't commit crimes and if you do do not resist arrest. When you resist arrest whatever misfortune you suffer is your own fault as it becomes the officer's judgement how much force he should use to safely subdue you.

^ And what about the "gun in mouth" incident when commander Glen Evans saw a Black man holding a blue steel handgun on 71st and 500 E., who ran. They could never find the gun. When they found him hiding, he stuck a gun in his mouth asking where did you hide the gun.

Well victim then sued for money claiming he never had a gun to begin with. He was in prison for other related. They took him out of prison just so he can testify against Evans for the gun in mouth. I'm glad that the felony charges against Evans was dropped by the judge.

If you don't commit crimes you will have exactly zero trouble with the police. I didn't like the police in the town I grew up in so I avoided them as much as possible; i.e. I didn't commit crimes.

Not to condone police misconduct but that could be reduced by fewer encounters. That's where the focus should be.

The new black panthers are nothing more than a terrorist organization. stop trying to dignify their actions.

Actually morally speaking, there's nothing wrong for the police to stop and chit chat with you. Provided he does not frisk you, but that's a separate topic. Sometimes stop and talking to criminals bring out the criminalness in them so that weeds out the criminals from the non-criminals.

Agreed. Police should be riding bikes and walking around and interacting with and building relationships in the communities they patrol. That would encourage more reporting and deter criminals.

That sounds great but certain communities hate the police, or authority in general, will not talk to the police, believe in "Don't Snitch" religiously etc. The only way to get information is to bust people for small crimes and give them a walk in exchange for useful information or pay them.
