    Any time BLM protesters embarrass themselves by rioting or protesting in a situation where there is no wrongdoing you'll get an investigation by Obama's DOJ in an effort to make them look better. It's just SOP.

    Nah the issue is people taking the DOJ reports as some kind of conspiracy or ignoring grievances altogether.

    Yep, but they don't understand.

    Put in simpler terms by one popular white rapper...some people are more concerned with being called racist than they are of actually racism.

    So when you imply that the country still has issues of race some of them get rather defensive for some reason.

    ^^

    When BLM is out there defending some idiot who took police on a chase and then wouldn't put down his gun when asked....yeah, you'll get some people calling you out. Certainly not worth violent protests over, that's for sure. And folks wonder why these protesters aren't taken seriously? Just LOL

    People sometimes do have legitimate grievances.

    Especially the poor and marginalized are often taken advantage of because there isn't a system on the earth that has true equality for all members.

    I suspect what is being lost in the simple "racism versus no racism" dynamic is that income inequality is driving a lot of this.

    BLM is a train wreck.

    It was founded on some very questionable beliefs and by people that believe in and support scumbags.

    Legitimate concerns or problems in society are co-opted by BLM and sadly lose any real sense of justice.

    Too bad the BLM pigs and the Trump roaches cannot fight to the death and leave the rest of the world a better place.

    So you are saying that economics might play some role? As though a 42% unemployment rate is not good?

    Well we'd better quadruple the number of H1-B visas and legalize all illegal immigrants.

    In every instance where the DOJ has launched an investigation after a nationally covered story where BLM led protests and riots it was determined that the case in question had no serious wrongdoing on the part of police. That's just the facts kiddo.

    Every time the President has come out and made statements about a case of alleged police brutality, it has been proven that no police brutality existed. All his comments did was needlessly fan the flames of rioters.

    Fox News reports about anything that is sensational like this, in order to get their ratings up. CNN does too, unless the story contradicts the tenants of the Democrat left's political correctness or identity politics priorities, in which case CNN either remains silent, or they try to spin it as something other than what it actually is.

    This is one of the main reasons that Fox News ratings are consistently higher than CNN, as CNN refuses to report on stories that are reported on by Fox. So people predictably turn to Fox.

    There was a second night of rioting. Really? Here is a quote from one of the victim's sisters:

    Running for his life? According to the police, he was fleeing a traffic stop with a gun in his hand.

    Why the hell is he running, did he kill someone? A traffic stop is usually at most a couple hundred dollars fine. I do not understand these people, and it was a black cop that stopped him too.
