You aren't paying attention. BLM is advocating violence against cops and white people.


Funny, it's not the black man that got an education and works for a law firm, bank, a school (except that guy in MN) that are being killed by police. It's guys robbing stores, running and fighting with cops, resisting arrest and for the most part, selling cigarettes in poor sections of town. Thr guys being arrested with a warrant. It doesn't excuse murder, but there's a demographic who are in this situations and it's not surprising. The Henry Louis Gates of the world aren't being killed for busted tail lights. Speaking of HLG, do you remember when the police arrested him? There are pictures of him obeying orders because he knew he was in the right. He complied and survived.

Plenty of white trash out there who do the same shit. Ever watched Cops? Just sayin'.

I don't disagree. However, whites aren't killing black cops over the deaths of white's in police custody.

I sure hope that all those African American BLM protestors realize that the message they are trying to get across just got shot down by their own race.

I-Man at the end of the day, WE ALL want to go home to our families. We can heal or continue the "eye for and eye" attitude. Remember, the real enemy loves this. I will not help them destroy this country.

How you like those assault rifles now, bro?

The "real enemy"? White cops? Black men engaging in criminal activities? Tom Cruise?

There you go again.

Let's review:

'Merica! Fvck, yeah!

Russians don't hate America, so why the hyperbole? The, "real enemy?" Perhaps your are still mentally chained and challenged by your military training. It is a small step, and an easy one, to go from patriotism to racism, bigotry, and whatever other form of hate people can glean from identifying their differences from others and calling them the enemy.

We are one world...and there are whack jobs everywhere. Most Afghans couldn't identify Dallas on a map, and never had, and still don't have, any means to bother our country...so why the fvck are we over there blowing people up? Why are we still in Iraq? Why did we create utter chaos in Syria, Yemen, and Libya? Why do we continue to press Russia in their back yard?

Oh, that's right...we're 'Mericans! We need our crooked business leaders and politicians to get kickbacks...and they need additional markets from which to extract wealth.

Blacks in Africa? Browns in the Middle East? Yellows in Asia? Fvck 'em...there furriners and we're 'Mericans!

Right?

Oh, and you will not help, "them" destroy this country? You better look inside this country for the people who are looking to destroy it. Plenty of those folks to target first before you go defending us against them furriner bad guys.

What? I'm using common sense and my awareness. If whites were killing black cops, it'd be all over the news.

You use your head. Please show me where all the white men are out attacking black cops because some white guys were killed in police protection?


Did some reseach and ThinkProgress kinda proves my point

I sure hope that all those African American BLM protestors realize that the message they are trying to get across just got shot down by their own race.

The protesters I saw interviewed emphasized how the event was going before the shooting started. Said the police were easy going and non-confrontational and the crowd was the same way.

Of course, they could be paid actors.

That's not the point I'm trying to make, They protest demanding justice for the blacks that cops kill, only to have some random black snipers target and kill white cops. That's not the message they are trying to send, and the act of those few domestic terrorists are not making their case that much easier to make.

The AR-15 isn't an assault rifle. The AR doesn't even stand for "assault rifle". It's a military looking weapon therefore it's "dangerous."

I'm not talking about that, and in fact I should've said, " more dangerous." Guns are dangerous, especially in the wrong hands. But guns aren't the issue. Edgy police, bad police, criminals being criminals, peoples unwillingness to obey law enforcement, etc.. are the reasons these guns are going off.

I get what you're saying and there's some truth to it, but it's whitewashing (ha! get it?) the underlying racial tensions a bit. There's no way of knowing for sure, but it's not a stretch to imagine the Tamir Rice incident or what happened to this dude in MN coming out differently if they had been white.
