That's fine. When we talk about BLM in the future and the good reforms they paved the way for, you can interject that you didn't like them bc they did a poor job of crowd control...
Yeah, about those good reforms. What are they exactly?
The only reason we have wide spread adoption of cameras on officers is bc of BLM.
The only reason we have supreme court rulings defending public recordings of police as a constitutional right is bc of BLM.
The only reason we even talking about funding mental health professionals to deal with those types of calls of bc of BLM.
Don't sleep on what they've paved the way for bc you don't like them.
Okay, I'll give BLM credit for all of the above. I'll also credit them with $20 million in destruction to Chicago, the deaths of 31 people, and such upheaval that the Democrats are losing voters (including me) and will likely lose the election in November.
Are you honest enough to do the same?
And quit your bull****, Eddie, that I don't like the changes made when I've posted here DOZENS of times that police are badly in need of reform.
Indifferent. Right to peaceful protests, sure we all have it.. But what the hell does that accomplish anyways? We don't live in a society where people that CAN Make a change WILL make a change. Those with power are only consumed with themselves.
Citizens have no power in this country, and haven't in decades. LOL. Hell look at the rigged system. We got two gangs running government.

The difference is that they pushed and supported the changes I brought up. The damage was done by people outside their control.
Like I always bring up... There's ALWAYS property damage and violence from A MINORITY of the group when there's a societal shift. it happened during the Civil Rights movement. It happened during women's suffrage. It happened during abolition era. If you can't separate the two then you're just falling for the smear tactics of the opposition.
It's like denouncing the US military in World War II because there were civilian deaths. The bigger picture is the thing that they are focused on, not the collateral damage that is out of their control.
You trying to denounce BLM because of the collateral damage from some outliers means you just want to talk about police reform, and not actually do anything about it. There's no other organization, NONE, that spotlighted police violence and the need for reform. So saying you don't support the only organization challenging police violence is practically the same as saying you don't want to see any changes made to the police.
surprised to see so many white BLM people protesting against other white people. ironic. Also seeing the heartache and loss from innocent stores that had nothing to do with anything get destroyed. that made me turn away from BLM even more so much so that i am adamant about anything having to do with them. they have destroyed any sympathy i might have had. I have to remember not to entangle the good black people with those demons of BLM.
Not good tactics to use, when you're trying to get people to like BLM, but now they have destroyed any goodness they might have had. Im shocked that the leaders are allowing them to act as criminals and not stop them.

Yep: a major reason I dislike BLM is that it makes all of us people of color look bad.

So then you will be okay after Biden wins when all of us libertarians and conservatives start blocking traffic, burning buildings, assaulting & killing people and stealing all your stuff because we want societal change?
