Below is a breakdown of 2015 homicides in U.S. cities gleaned by The Brew from online police records. Additional information came from the Major Cities Chiefs Police Association. The list below is arranged by level of violence – going from the city with the highest homicide rate to the lowest. [I only included top 10. Go to link for others]
• St. Louis – 116 homicides as of August 4, up over 50% from the same period in 2014. Based on its population, St. Louis’ half-year homicide rate is 36 per 100,000 residents.
• Baltimore – 189 homicides through July 31, almost 60% more than the same period last year. The city’s rate is now at a historic high based on its population – 30 slayings per 100,000 residents. (During the 1970s, there were higher homicide numbers in some years, but the city had between 200,000 and 250,000 more residents then.)
• New Orleans – 103 homicides through mid-July, or 27 per 100,000 residents.
• Detroit – 163 homicides through July 31, or 24 per 100,000 residents.
• Newark, NJ – 52 homicides through July 26, or 19 per 100,000 residents.
• Camden, NJ – 16 homicides through through July, or 19 per 100,000 residents.
• Milwaukee – 95 homicides through August 1, or 16 per 100,000 residents.
• Cincinnati – 45 homicides through August 1, or 15 per 100,000 residents.
• Memphis – 91 homicides through July, or 14 per 100,000 residents.
• Washington, D.C. – 87 homicides through July, or 13 per 100,000 residents. (Homicides have increased by 26% over the same period of 2014.)
These cities with highest homicide rates in the country all have majority or large black populations. Racist comment? No, factual, but facts are racist these days.

Since policing isnt evenly distributed then we dont know what actual crime rate is. We do know self reported drug rates, and they are even by race and more black are arrested than white.
These are the 3 founding members; Opal Tometi, Patrisse Cullors, and Alicia Garza. Which one chanted that ?
So they're the only members of the movement? In that case, they should be raising a stink over all of the throngs of people supposedly part of or representing BLM. Are they?

You have no proof, it is that simply. you are claiming some feeling in you gut is enough to claim someone killed someone. You dont even have a person that you claimed one of them killed.

And you never answered the question on Fox.
I did answer the FOX question by asking you when did anyone from BLM do what you claimed ?
You have 2 choices here. You either define BLM by its founders and reported chapter members(who BLM says are independent operators, or you define it like you would the NAACP as a large national organization with thousands of members and that only the leadership of the individual chapter is responsible for being a spokesmen.
Either way, BLM's leadership(if you can call it that) has never been involved in what you speak of.
If you want to say some moron who used the hashtag chanted something, fine. But to me thats a dumb argument because you could use that about any group.
