I am saying they have no right to block Durham roads, as they did on multiple occasions.

Where have they legally protested..

Blocked roads, burning down stores, and overturning cars are what I have seen on the news.
You can't have it both ways ..The news is the gospel when showing a rough police arrest but
when showing the violent protestors it's a different story..

...and when police did arrest some who were blocking roads the next day there is a protest that
the police handled that wrong...

It's the way all police are being vilified that sickens me..
I would support a peaceful movement to improve arrest procedures
that acknowledges that not breaking the law or resisting arrest is the best way to protect against
being harmed by police.

I am unwilling to listen to anything the movement/protesters are trying to convey
after hearing the "dead cop chant"...

If they want the nation to listen then denounce the hate speech and violent & illegal protests
