I understand branh. I know there are 'reports' that instigators are bussed in from other areas to start trouble, break windows, etc. but it's probably more likely it's just local opportunists doing most of that (and often after a lot of the main protestors have left). BLM, as a movement, is largely not violent and not "rioting."

I do think there is evidence of very questionable police violence against black people, and I'm also concerned with how many police agencies look more like para-military outfits (especially when pursuing the War on Drugs).

I don't agree with much of this stuff though, from a political standpoint: //www.city-data.com/forum/polit...r-demands.html

Thats so true....on top of that KKK doesn't like many white people as they are more Neo Nazi's who were /are also white.

Can we agree that anyone who is not for all good life's matter are bad people!

The entire BLM movement stands for racism as it doesn't want to discuss the poverty and wrong doing to many black people in areas where the government has given up on them aside from voting times when they need them.

People at colleges yelling BLM should be ashamed as it is all College life matter and not dividing people in groups as it is what they are doing and blaming everyone for everything.

There is wrong doing in all layers of society that needs to be solved and it starts at the top where Clinton's seem to be above the law.

Start with charging them like.any other person in society would be charged for the same wrong doing. Examples are set at the top!

Or, they do know what BLM is about and are educated, having watched and listened to all the audio/video and come to a different conclusion than you have.
It's one thing to write you are for a certain set of things but when your words and actual deeds show different?

That tends to negate what's written...

Yeah, it's not that they would try to incite violence or anything.
