Agree. I think a great place to start would be for them to make a big push to address/highlight all the violence/homicides of black on black crime in cities like Phoenix/inner cities like Chicago. That's where by far the vast majority of black deaths/homicides occur, not death by police.

I see both sides. I think the BLM movement can be offensive. I saw how some of the member protested in Phoenix. They were cursing and flipping off police officers. That disrespect is both offensive and counterproductive. That sets back the movement. At the same time, I think this movement will be positive and force police departments to address racial sensitivity and their approach to these issues.

He has no point, it's pretty clear what his agenda is. Thank you for your logic. It's threads like this that give AZ a bad rep on this forum... I agree with you, just as when people say "BLM", When people say "protect the rainforest" they aren't saying screw every other type of forest.

I was working downtown that night at around 11 pm took Central north and saw a lot of gangster looking guys driving away with their loud ghetto stereo some were smoking dope at a stop light and drinking 40oz in paper bags while driving. I had been working all week downtown noticed the people driving away were a rough crowd. I had no idea it was a protest until I got home. Driving a company vehicle not able to carry so I should have taken I-17 that night.
