BlueLivesMatter vs BlackLivesMatter...They BOTH MATTER, Stop pretending you don't understand what Black Lives Matter really means with the usual response of AllLivesMatter.
If you say #BlueLivesMatter, we know you dont mean that people who aren't police don't matter, it's just you feel like Police were being unfairly targeted by a group of people.
WHICH MEANS YOU understood what the hell the phrase 'BLACK LIVES MATTER' has meant this entire time and elected to be a JERK about it instead.
Police get attacked and assulted on a daily occurrence during traffic stops and more and its been like this for decades, but now it seems it is reported by the media as BLM type relation on cops.
This county also has allowed the media to portray about 15-20 bad altercations with the police over a 2-3 year period as a everyday norm, in which a minority is pulled over or stopped and will be unarmed and killed by the cops as a near daily occurrence. Im sure there are probably hundreds more incidents that weren't caught on video that we dont know about, but they are still rare compared to the 90%+ cop interactions that go perfectly fine.
Resisting arrest never leads to anything good, but a fight and/or death.
In regard to the BLM movement, now if a black person commits a crime anywhere in the US, non blacks are quick to shout, where is BLM. Blacks protesting gang violence, which they do, but the media doesnt put it on front page, is 100% different than protesting police brutality, since police are supposed to be enforcing the law and are held to a much higher standard than a criminal and their job comes with great responsibility. Many black criminals are caught for their crime and many cops get a vacation for shooting someone.
People are quick to say ALL cops are not bad, so dont paint a broad brush on cops over the actions of a few bad ones, YET they turnaround and do the exact same to black people and stress black on black crime because they commit half the murders and are 13% of the population. The same can apply here, only 1% of blacks commit these crimes, so its not fair to paint the entire black race as trouble makers over the actions of a few. Most black folks are law abiding citizens, even in the hood.
If you were to throw any race into extreme and concentrated poverty, discriminate agaisnt them because they are a minority, have no jobs in their community, and have them live in dilapidated housing conditions, the crime numbers would be extreme regardless of what race they are.
Cops put their life on the line to patrol these dangerous communities, so their life 100% matters and Black Lives Matter too (attacking the officer), but the 1st instinct shouldnt be to shoot a black person if there is a confrontation, but deescalate a white person in the same scenario. Until the many cops in this country drop alot of the arrogance and see themselves as law enforcers and the the LAW itself, where no one can even speak back to them or else, this Black vs Blue Lives debate is going to continue with acts of violence here and there.
its not about black lives mattering or not mattering, the bottom line remains that the black VOTE is what they're after, if it was worth more votes to denounce BLM, they would be right on top of that like white on rice, its all about the vote.

The Dems get 95% of the black vote no matter what. Why bother even courting the black vote

If this is true, than they should just remain silent on any black issues, they shouldn't rock the boat, why put yourself in harms way by taking a position on a really polarizing subject. if it were me and i had the black vote in the bag, i would keep my mouth shut.
True all lives do matter, but if they do matter way arent non black supporting blacks in trying to end alot of the police brutality they receive with video proof now, so folks cant deny it anymore.

I think the black community is just wired to vote democrat. If Trump was all over BLM and supported it, there is still no way they are voting 80%+ Republican
Gotta get em riled up enough to go to the polls in the first place. Dems are scared to death at the dropoff in turnout from Obama to Hillary.
Gotcha
