I see liberals always saying that the good cops should call out the bad cops. Well, maybe BLM needs to condemn what this lady is saying and make a point that they do not speak for the movement.

I'm trying to speak from a neutral point here but if they don't condemn stuff like this it's not going to help their cause.

LOL, so anyone who goes and get a jacket made with "Black Lives Matter" is automatically a "member" of a specific Black Lives Matter organization??

Anyone can get a jacket made with anything on it.

If BLM is an actual organization, they should have a record of this woman being a member - like the NAACP and UL (urban league) have regarding their own members.

If I wear a jacket that says "vive la France" does that automatically mean I'm a French citizen...

So if a white person said the same thing about black people you'd play it off as "sarcasm "??

IMO, people who make such statements are making terrorist threats, and should immediately be arrested and charged.
Such statements could also be considered assault. Again, they should be arrested and charged.
Yes, freedom of speech is guaranteed, but there are consequences. Such people need to be reminded of that!

The woman referenced in the media article is co-founder of a Toronto, Canada wing of Black Lives Matter. Why is what she saying about killing any cops relevant to black Americas....?

She is Canadian...

Also, not sure if BLM is an "organization" in Canada or if they have any non-profit status or official designation by the Canadian government. I honestly would not know how to look that up for Canada either.

To all the posters who like to go on and on about every black person being "in" BLM please stop thinking that BLM is an actual group that has some huge membership. It is a hashtag. Most of the groups who protest and who say Black Lives Matter are not a member of any BLM group.

Any random person can get a jacket made with a message embroidered or ironed onto it.

Yeah maybe she hates BLM but she's just wearing it because it's the only clean jacket she has .. I'm sure.

BLM doesn't have membership cards but obviously this woman is sympathetic to the BLM movement and agenda .

Viewing it any other way is denial .
