I don't take issue with addressing Black on Black murder. However, I do take issue with people trying to downplay injustices being done to Blacks. Police brutality and Black on Black murder don't have much to do with each other. They are two totally different subjects. The only reason most people try to say what Ray Lewis just said is to distract from police brutality.

oh please! it's time to own up to the self-created horrors running rampant in places like Chicago. not every single thing can be blamed on the white man.

stand up and own it.

are there bad cops? OF COURSE! but that doesn't mean they're all bad and that what they all do is wrong.

There is no police brutality. It's just black folks acting a fool with the authorities as usual and then surprised when they end up body slammed to ground or worse by police.

Anyone claiming that police brutality doesn't exist is either lying to themselves or not paying attention.

Police brutality exists all over America. I just watched a series of cases involving police and school children. Extreamly annoying. That however is a drop in the bucket compared to what black people do to one other and to their communities.
Only yesterday a grandmother (preparing dinner for her grandchildren) was shot while in her home (through the wall). It's an everyday occurrence in places like Brooklyn. Her family were in shock and crying.
In most cases the motivation behind the shootings is stupid, childish, idiotic.

BLM was about police brutality at first. Then it got headlines and the focus changed.
