Hard to say, but if they were inspired to kill by BLM it hardly matters, does it.

Despicable that you would parse like this to defend a violent group like BLM.

Whether the killings were a direct action taken by admitted members of BLM or if the killings were inspired by BLM makes no difference. The seed was planted, and grew very quickly.

Yes, we've seen your vocabulary. Let's not forget the racial epithet you used to describe a black conservative. Your post was worthy of a KKK poster.

But I think that's part of the problem. You have an organization that has gotten people all riled up and which does have -- in my view -- some pretty outrageous goals (about as outrageous as some of our White supremacist, White take back our country gun nuts here on City-Data, some of which want to overthrow the government), and then you can't control everyone in the organization. Donald Trump got people all riled up to the point that he suggested roughing protesters up. When you are in any group and you get people riled up enough, there will be some that lose control and can't be controlled. That's a fair criticism.

However, that does not mean that the rest of the people lose their right to protest, and there may be times that limited civil disobedience is necessary.

However, BLM leaders have not publicly tried to control or calm situations down.'

This is why I support black lives matter, but not Black Lives Matter.

Man, it's a fairly new organization give them time to catch up.

" Pigs in a blanket" and the rest that goes along with it don't sound like your favorite local Rotary Club to me.

Blacks have been calling police that for years. Police brutality has been going on for centuries nothing new what you see was going on before BLM. These people who had these feelings before BLM. The behavior from the police and from the black community has been going on before a lot of us were born. Nothing new. Just need to find a solution to all of this.

NWA even made a song about it called F the police

Ice T had one too called Cop killer

The solution has been stated numerous times.


Don't break the law.
Don't run from the police.
Don't attempt to take the police's weapons.
Don't attempt to shoot the police.


Oh... did I mention, DON'T BREAK THE LAW.




As for police, some are dirty. That happens in any position of power. Look at Congress. People who have an agenda will push it once they have the power to do so. What needs to happen is that the good LEO's should start trying to get the bad ones out of power. In the meantime, everyone needs to follow the law and that will help avoid the number of confrontations the public has with the police.


I know you're going to mention profiling, so I'll beat you to it.


If you're in a city where the majority of crime is committed by someone who looks a certain way those are the people that police are watching for start working in your community to change the mindset of those people so that they stop committing the crimes and when the crime dies down, so does the instances of police profiling.
