Not to mention, when the leaders tweet things like, "Ramp it up" during protests, what do you think that means???

They're inciting this.
No idea why you posted this. I never said that BLM wasn't responsible for many of these things. Maybe reread my post?

Here is someone who completely disagrees with you. How do you reconcile your statement/beliefs with his and Malcom X's comments that he references:

Obviously you can disagree with him, but his comments fly in the face of your statement that "everyone with integrity supports BLM." Does he lack integrity?

Well, I am starting to see racial tensions rise where I live. I've actually been accosted a few times. One person told me to my face that he didn't like the majority of Blacks. While most of the people around me don't seem to treat me like some hood rat, I have seen some things get rather crazy.

It's been 50 years since King and the discrimination is still alive and well. How long do you argue for non violence? Another 50 years?

Why doesn't BLM? Honestly, the prosecutors are not allowed to cheat, and if credible evidence is presented, then they get prosecuted and disbarred. It happened in Texas a few years ago. It should happen more frequently. I noticed the Innocence Project (founded by Barry Schect) was partly responsible for this happening, but most importantly, the released man made sure his prosecutor turned judge got convicted for his crime.

First Prosecutor Jailed for Deliberately Convicting Innocent Man

Mike Nifong, the prosecutor in the Duke Lacrosse case got disbarred, as I am sure many other prosecutors have. They may not get criminally charged like the Texas case, but there are remedies.

Sure all my friends and I have 20 arrests each, many for violent crimes, but we aren't criminals..

I'm not sure where you live, but I don't think that happens very much where I live near Houston. Though honestly, how would I know? I'm not a black person so I really don't know what they encounter around here, but most interactions I witness seem civil and friendly. Maybe I have rose colored glasses though.

The only remedy is being criminally charged just the same as they would do to others.
