It's very valid. Does it make sense to you that someone who says 'black lives matter' would kill a black woman?

The guy knows if he is arrested, he goes to prison for life, or even the death row, so he shot the cop to avoid it. It's fairly obvious.

Nothing in the story indicates he was a BLMer, so why are you trying to twist it into it?

National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund: Officer Deaths by Year

Death by gun vs other methods doesnt signify a impact.

I think he was trying to make an anti-gun argument.

I dont understand why people make this argument. Do you honestly not see the difference ????


Why the preventable death by law enforcement is different than that of a civilian killing another ????

No what? The story the OP posted said the number of cops killed by guns increased by 50% in 2016.

If you say that story is wrong, you need to post the 2016 numbers and show gun deaths as well.

Your post was specifically responding to BLM, and whether or not they were a significant impact on officers.

You werent talking about guns in and of itself.

So, are you saying there is no way to prevent blacks from murdering other blacks?

It almost seems as though you are saying they can't help it because it's hard wired into them, which would be quite racist.

That would be snowflake.

Officers killed on duty are up for 2016.

If people were marching down the streets screaamimg that people should burn down Mosques and then there was a 50% increase in mosques burning down, would you infer a correlation?
