It makes more sense to go after the biggest problems and; if it means letting the cops doing their jobs, a lot MORE Black people might've been alive in 2016.
Sorry, fam. You're deflecting. The people are protesting extrajudicial, state sponsored killing. Why? Because the state is accountable to the people. "What about black-on-black crime" is a non-starter because the perpetrators are criminals. Criminals are not accountable for the safety of the people. The criminal justice system is. Is that so hard for you to understand?

You don't know if Black murderers are going to jail? Really? You don't want to take a shot in the dark about whether the American criminal justice system punishes Black people for committing crimes? Especially murder? Really?

There's also a 'new right' which is different from the alt right.

Black Lives Matter was a clever scheme used to quell the youth uprising. Cause some division. Make a lot of money off of the suffering of people.


The evil thing about Black Lives Matter is none of them started anything associated with what's going on. They're all being paid to represent something they're not part of. Unless you include working against, and undermining through either incompetence, immaturity, or both as 'being a part of.'

They're a COINTEL group. Plain and simple.

“What does BLM do with the money that’s donated?” Immediately following the question they stated they aren’t affiliated with the brand. That’s after helping prop the brand in Ferguson over the grassroots Movements being formed."

It depends. They can't get witnesses to come forward so more often than not, yes, they do get away with it.

this is a myth. that "no snitching" thing was never a things amongst most black people. It's mainly just a gang culture thing. People obviously inform the police otherwise they wouldn't know who did all these murders. And the point is, the murderer is clearly known, that person goes to jail. They are not getting the Zimmerman treatment.

So you have read a blog, took their opinion as truth, and decided to perpetuate lies? I personally know quite a few BLM activists in Los Angeles and not one of them receives any payment for taking a stance against police brutality.

This is one way Trump drummed up his support. By spreading fake news! There is a movement where the sole purpose is to attack black folks fighting for equal rights. This was the case during the civil rights movement and it's the case today.

But if the evidence is there, specifically video evidence, when they shot an unarmed person, whether in the back or otherwise, they most likely would be convicted, no?

Some people just refuse to answer honestly.

First sentence is something we don't know to be true because no one tracks police shootings nationally, so every conclusion you reach based on that first sentence is pure "this is what ziggy100" wants to be true territory.

High crime has nothing to do with police, harassing law abiding black citizens, nothing to do with stopping black Americans more, nothing to do with increased physical abuse by police towards those black citizens.


Your basic premise is just wrong. Police tactics and training combined with beliefs about certain groups of Americans are the issue of police mistreatment of black Americans.

What you are saying is criminals cause the police to be violent towards and mistreat black Americans that can only make sense to someone if they connect crime with the black race which is a fundamentally racist position.
