I know they want attention, but isn't this backfiring on them? The media tries to make them seem reasonable, but a true movement needs to win the hearts and minds of the people. It wasn't the riots in the '60s that won people over, it was the peaceful protestors getting beaten by the police or local citizens. Peaceful protests gain far more sympathy.
I believe the BLM groups have a good cause, but they always highlight the least sympathetic cases and you rarely see them talking about people who were truly examples of blatant brutality. We all know Michael Brown by name, but does anyone know the name of the guy gunned down while running away from the cop in South Carolina, or the guy who was shot in his car by the cop in Ohio? Those two cases and the Eric Garner killing just make me so mad, and yet we never hear about them. Maybe it's because the injustice was so clear that the cops in question were actually convicted. But Darin Wilson was clearly using self defense.
" just make me so mad"
Do get just as mad when a black thug shoots a cop?
When a black thug shoots a white person?
When blacks riot over an indecent BEFORE there is even an investigation?
When they break into drug store and liquor stores when rioting? (like THAT is really going to help their "cause)
What do YOU say when after all the rioting and burning and trashing cop cars the EVIDENCE shows that the police had done NO WRONG and all the rioting, stealing and burning was all for NOTHING?
You seem very quick to judge the cops but, somehow ignore the hundreds of thousands of cops who do their job very well everyday.
By your "reasoning" ALL cops are bad because a few.
Using that "reasoning", ALL blacks are bad because a few.
See what happens when you paint an entire group by the actions of a few.
Notice the signs? PSL stands for Party of Socialism a d Liberation. Funded by George Soros & friends. The other group involved is called Red Nation. This is the organizing flyer for the Riots against Citizens who want to attend a Political Rally. This isn't against Donald Trump, it's against Citizens.
The protests & riots in the 1960's were not "bought" in the interest of Political gain the way they are today.

I'm surprised that they didn't scare off most of their supporters with that 4 letter word on the flyer. "Join us for a WORK session.."? Probably be the closest thing to work most of these people have done in their lives.

Very true, because the protests were on the moral ground of American interests and didn't need to be bought. By the late 1968, most Americans understood that our government was not on their side.
Today's Trump supporters are the equivalent of 1968's war protestors.
It's all the ILLEGALS that want the border to remain wide open so all their friends and relatives can come over and join the free stuff party.
BUILD THAT WALL!
The wall is a foolish idea, supporting it shows you do not comprehend how to solve the problem, much like Trump. Want to know what would be effective? Mandatory everify with jail time for those not doing so, and requiring American citizenship, or a valid visa in order to rent or own property. Cost? A heck of a lot less then a wall, and effective.
The wall nonsense? Thats theater. its ineffective, and will be insanely expensive.
One thing about cases like this, the BLM thugs, and other leftist activists, is that at least to some extent they are getting media coverage. And people are getting a good look at the kinds of violent nutjobs make up so much of the left.
And like others...nutjobs like this make me want to support Trump.
Yep. Easy to see which group is irrational and violent, and which group is neither.

Given the sheer level of nonsense going on with both sides....I think both groups are a bit irrational and some of their fringe members are violent. Trying to make it all about one side means you are ignoring the idiocy of the other side.
