This FoxNews article is a prime example of sensationalism with a clickbait title that is contradicted by the actual article itself. The title said the BLM protestors left when they discovered the deceased was "white", but the article said they left when more information about the situation was released.

Apparently the "deceased" was an armed carjacker, who had just carjacked a woman at gunpoint and then he proceeded to fire shots at the police while being in pursuit. During the pursuit, he jumped out of the car and started pointing the gun at passersby. This is when officers shot and killed him.

Also, the BLM protestors that left were all white judging by the clip that was uploaded.

The moral of the story here. Don't just stop at the title of an article. READ THE WHOLE THING.
Rubbish. Every person who BLM comes to the defense of was a criminal who fought with police. That drunk driver in Atlanta shot at cops with their own taser, yet that didn't seem to deter anyone from defending him.

Actually, it’s funny how Libs react to it, especially when it’s not even an issue, but think everything and everyone other than them is racist, lol.

I thought this thread would be about Adam Toledo.

Look on the bright side, no stores were looted.

What people say isn't necessarily what people believe, and Libs are smart enough to understand how politics works.

Lol. I do agree they know how politics works. Cry racism every time they don’t get their way and blame everyone else for their self-inflicted problems.

They’re definitely using a crisis to their favor. Looting, rioting, causing violence, etc..., to get free stuff is working out well for them. Going to be very interesting to see what they do when the free stuff runs out.

BLM doesn't support a guy for carjacking a woman at gunpoint then getting into a firefight with police in which he is shot and killed.

Conservative headline: They Don't Support Him Because He Is White!


Seriously. The propaganda is thick in this clickbait headline and you guys just discuss it like the facts don't matter. Personally, I don't think tht BLM has the cred. Their message is far too unfocused and their are people in their leadership who are obvious grifters. They are supposed to be about justice, but they have far too many hangers-on with their own racist agendas. But when people accuse conservatives of being anti-intellectual knee-jerk emotional brainwashed sheep, it is takes like this that inform that view.

So much for "unbiased media", Fox twisted the truth hard as heck to make that headline fit. Trash news, trash TV channel.

It is difficult not to think of such people as ignorant, uninformed, willful, and BIGOTED.
