who knows, they could have actually saved some lives by protesting instead of business as usual

Marchers condemning police shootings enter Taste of Chicago, clog downtown - Chicago Tribune

The ‘Ferguson effect’ is destroying Chicago | New York Post

"Violence in Chicago is reaching epidemic proportions. In the first five months of 2016, someone was shot every 2¹/₂ hours and someone murdered every 14 hours, for a total of nearly 1,400 nonfatal shooting victims and 240 fatalities."

Ferguson was a lie and has had a damaging ripple effect.

It's absolutely PATHETIC that BLM in Chicago protests police killings.

Voices: In Chicago, gun violence defies comprehension

clean up your own streets, morons!

"In June alone, Chicago counted 72 homicides. Police in this city of 2.7 million reported 315 homicides during the first six months of the year, more than larger metropolises New York and Los Angeles have tallied combined. The homicide toll for Chicago is about 50% higher compared with the same period last year. More than 2,000 people in Chicago have already been shot."

We are aware now. They can stop spreading awareness and start working on the issues. It takes a village.

I'm not a fan of the BLM because rather than doing something constructive, they're merely disruptive and the very thing they were initially protesting has been lost because there wasn't any one person organizing them and making sure the message was clear. Notice Sharpton and Jackson haven't gotten involved.

But they do protest what's going on in their own communities.

The BLM is just a black movement organized by black racists who have focused on a teeny tiny problem which has always been a teeny tiny problem, and have found a way to lather up their army of sheep. This has happened before, and just like the past it will not end well for anyone... however it will end.
