Even if I don't get into the nuances of plea deals given vs charges, that's still jail time. Almost everyone that gets caught murdering a Black person gets out through the system and gets jail time.

Now say the same about cops.

Yeah, but it’s about the numbers! Hundreds of black men are murdered by other black men, most over drug and turf wars. The cops? Only 9 unarmed black men in all of 2019.

If BLM really cared about black lives, they’d focus their efforts where most lives could be saved. It’s all a ruse - a cover - for creating anarchy and allowing criminals to roam free.

Can you name a case where cop murdered someone and wasn't charged or convicted. Just because you think it's murder doesn't mean it wasn't in self defense.

Breona Taylor. Killed while she was sleeping in bed. Still no charges.

Not charged yet, but how is it necessarily murder and the polices fault? It's a homicide but who is ultimately responsible and the nature of the homicide has yet to be determined.

Black people already have resources devoted to dealing with crime in their communities. Educate yourself about what already happening.

Black people don't need your permission for when it's okay to deal with multiple issues. We're allowed to tackle police abuse and inner city violence. We don't need to wait for the latter to get eliminated before were allowed to deal with anything else.

The stats say most are murdered by other black civilians very low number murdered by cops
But I have very highly intelligent black friends who have no doubt that the greatest threat to black America is white cops
But then again 75 years ago in Germany there was not doubt in anyone’s mind that the greatest threat to Europe was male Jews

If you shot someone in their bed, what would be your outcome months later. You would've been arrested as soon as it became clear she was in bed and unarmed. The facts have already been settled. The cops shot her. And there's no justification for it.

Black people have the resources to deal with crime in their communities? What about Chicago, where 18 black men were murdered in a single weekend? Doesn’t sound like these “resources” are working.

And as far as multiple issues, that’s not what going on with all this destruction and looting and rioting and arson. It’s ALL about police. The fact that blacks are being murdered at ten times the rate by other blacks isn’t even mentioned. BLM is all about frying the pigs like bacon.

Seeing that many more whites are involved with drugs why is it that blacks do so much more of the killing?
