After the Justice Department concluded that the use of military-style equipment made matters worse in Ferguson, President Obama put some equipment off limits — including tracked armored vehicles, bayonets, and grenade launchers — and required a showing of need for tactical vehicles with wheels.

A little FACT you failed to mention, OBAMA'S Justice Department.

BLM lacks substance and doesn't care about blacks or the truth.
"15 unarmed blacks were killed by police last year. Most were attacking the cop."

Worth repeating and emphasizing!

I was once a security guard for one of the gay community's parties, so they had a bunch of us watching over things, they knew there was going to be potential drug overdoses.


So i actually witnessed one man who was so violent from a drug cocktail (not sure which drugs) well this person was being held down on a table, and he all of a sudden shot up and knocked out the light bulb above him. Wow, that shocked me watching that. 4 strong men were holding down this one average body man and wow.. it was eye opening.
In "Nam" I saw men shot multiple times and nerver slowed down because they we so drugged up. We called them the "running dead". They wear dead and didn't know it. just like cutting a chickens head off and the chicken keeps running.

Why would I need to mention it? Obama gave the order so of course it came under his watch and he had the backing.

I was told the use of a different bullet helped. You didn't want to fire a bullet that went through, you used a bullet that tumbled. I'm pretty sure he was speaking about Vietnam too, dunno for sure.

Morris can be heard on video screaming, "Help me, please. My heart. Call the ambulance." He is heard telling the officers multiple times that he couldn't breathe.
At one point after Morris' plea for help, an officer can be heard yelling "I'll break your f****** wrist."
While Morris is restrained face down on the ground, one officer can be seen with a foot on his leg, another officer had a foot on his buttocks, and a third officer had a foot on his back.
Morris was eventually rolled into a recovery position as he continued to say that he couldn't breathe, authorities said."

The case has drawn attention ????
On what planet is all this attention? Mars? Because here on earth it hasn't gotten much.
All of us white folks need immediate "reparations" for this.

Civil rights are everybody's rights.

Some cases attract more attention than others for a variety of reasons, the point being that while the groups name is BLM, some of their sought reforms are for the benefit of everyone. (some of their other reforms are wacky. )

I mean, gee...if I were to start a campaign to stop texting and driving by youths and targeted young white women (a major victim group), they're not the only ones that would benefit from the initiative even though they're the most impacted.

"I was told the use of a different bullet helped" NOPE. The mind was dead, therefore NOTHING that happened to the body registered.

"I'm pretty sure he was speaking about Vietnam too, dunno for sure" Instead of guessing, why don't you just ASK him outright?
