Black Lives Matter is an honorable movement and is in no way racist

    Exactly. So until there is actually an official group stop blaming the entire group for the actions of a few of their members.

    I have no problem holding the members that say inappropriate things accountable for those things. I do have a problem labeling all others for those statements when they didn't make them.

    Such weak, flaccid words toward a group of hatemongering radicals that have been calling for violence and upheaval since day 1

    Where is the anger and conviction often found in your rants against cops?

    It is pretty clear though that those who consider themselves leaders in the BLM movement and those who organize events for them are pretty racist, terrible people though. Sure maybe it's not everyone involved, but the core is pretty rotten.

    There are many BLM members that want "dead cops". There has been dead cops just the sole purpose of being cops. At what point are we going to put 2 and 2 together and stop seeing them as childs play and take necessary action against their radical speech.

    Yes, I'm furious that black people can have wide and varied opinions on any subject. Just outraged. :cool:

    Actually, I'm just playing rope a dope and you're the dope. But you carry on with your little Facebook crusade and completely avoid providing any solutions to well documented societal problems in favor of your little Mayberry RFD concept of America.

    You don't think the murder of that officer was shameful?

    Shameful yes.

    Shameful that anyone's life is snuffed out for no reason other than filling gas up.

    Shameful that those who cheapen his death by trying to blame it on BLM without any evidence.

    Shameful that those use his death to strike a blow against civil rights movements. Do black lives matter more? Nice strawman @politobunny. They never claimed their lives matter more, just that their lives matter like white folks matter so much.

    And shameful for you for being disingenuous once again - trying to "win a debate" on an internet forum for the sake of winning and nothing else.

    You think the reason this officer was murdered was because he was putting gas in his car? Really?

    LMAO at anyone who thinks the murder of that cop was not a racist and hateful act......Open your eyes and drop the political correctness bs.... BLM is not a group of people. It is an outcry from an ignorant and uneducated black community. NOT the black community but a black community. A group of people who are equally stupid and believe the same thing.

    I don't care to argue in here about anything because this thread is hot garbage, but really, you didn't say that "no one should get shot [while] putting gas in their car." You said "shameful that anyone's life is snuffed out for no reason other than filling gas up."

    Those are two different statements.

    But anyway, as of right now, no motive is known for sure.

    They think you think. You think they think. Way too much thinking. Maybe don't think is the best course.

    I would be more inclined to believe it was a racist act if the victim wasn't a cop and just a civilian. A white man killed a cop in Louisiana recently and no one is making that a racial issue.

    I think white civilians are taking people's actions towards the police as actions towards them.

    You want to break from political correctness?

    How about the notion that law enforcement is not even one of the top 10 most dangerous jobs in the nation.
    How about the notion that LEOs gun down far more unarmed civilians than civilians gunning down LEOs.
    How about the notion that in many municipalities around the nation, the local government often relies on more than half their revenue on petty **** like traffic citations which obviously generates a conflict of interest.
    How about the notion that in American culture, due to 400 years of disparaging the African American race, it is sub consciously ingrained on majority of the population to not give the benefit of the doubt towards Blacks.

    Empirically, civilians should be more afraid of LE than LE should be cautious of civilians.

    Many others don't though.

    I mean the whole reason why there are blacks in this country is because a lot of people many years ago who ostensibly cared about freedom didn't believe that black lives mattered, and created a series of institutions over hundreds of years that were premised on the idea that they ultimately didn't, or did so much less, right?
