BLM thinks all shooting of blacks by police are wrong. They even protest when the person shot at the police first. If they would only protest the wrongful killings, they would get support from other races.
If if if. Its always an if when it comes to discussing BLM or black people in general.
"IF BLM would care about the killing of..."
*some one posts proof that BLM brought light to that very killing*
"Well IF they REALLY cared then their leaders would be there too"
*some one posts proof of BLM leader organizing on behalf of white people*
"IF they would only protest wrongful killings, they would get support from other races
*we know for a fact that white people make up a good portion of the BLM movement*
"IF they just protested non violently"
*players kneel*
"IF they respected our flag and military"
There will always be an if to some people and the sad part is they don't even realize that they are constantly changing the goal posts

He begged for his life and cop murdered him in cold blood. His murder took me back to Eric Garner who could not breath and begged he could not breath.
Look at this. You didn't specifically, or even at all, mention the founders of BLM but here you are in your second post pretending as if your first post was specifically about the founders. You made the statement that BLM needed to learn how to advocate for other races. When shown proof of them doing just that, instead of conceding and admitting to making a false statement you change the entire premise of your argument to being about BLM leadership.

Took that poster to task and knocked it out of the park!
This post should be stick’d anytime this topic comes up.
My brother did say basically the same thing in Minneapolis and was told " fine- just don't ***** at white people for not fighting black people's battles AND stop expecting white America to support you in those battles too"
Its like talking to the wall
Do you honestly think white people need anything from BLM?
All I’m saying is BLM had an opportunity and they blew it.
And all everyone else is saying is you were proven wrong, completely ignored it, then took the back door out.
Now that’s pathetic.

Please. That’s complete BS and you know it.
The same people would just use another irrelevant, distracting response to deflect away from the issue.
BLM is quite diverse and has support from other races, and a Google search would show how obvious that is.
The ones who don’t support or understand their purpose never will, because they say the same ridiculous things that have been said by you and other posters in this thread looking to deflect.
BLM has many legitimate complaints. This is a problem that affects everyone, just disproportionately more with blacks.
The two biggest challenges that they face (IMO):
1) Getting drug into protesting based upon the immediate comments of a victims family\friends, many of which weren't at the shooting and turns out to be lies. Protesting about someone getting shot in the back for example, then having it disproven is tough on the image.
2) The worst offending police forces, those that fight body cams and have the worst abuse reputations are basically part of the same party that largely backs BLM. With that said, BLM is somewhat compromised when dealing with many of their biggest problem areas in terms of policing.
If if if. Its always an if when it comes to discussing BLM or black people in general.

In the end it's clear what is being said. "If they would only shut up"..........
The officer seems to be traveling above the posted speed, but, sadly, the elderly driver seems to have crossed a double yellow line which is of course, one of the least obeyed pavement markings rule in the USA.
It is good that people are stepping in to help. As she fell out into the street, apparently she was not belted in. Let us all learn lessons here.
Except nothing was done about it except uncovering the officer's prior accidents and forced resignation from his prior police department because of them. The officer eventually received a "verbal reprimand" for his part in the accident.
Is that the equivalent of 40 lashes with a wet noodle?

The D.A. is wrong. The couple did not fail to yield. As noted, if the officer had been obeying the law there would have been no accident. A driver can not be held accountable for the illegal actions of others.
This also shows that people can come together and should come together to fight the injustices of our justice system. Next time it might be you.
