Police officers shot in Baton Rouge

I doubt that's true. People were angry with BLM before they came up with the excuse that black people are the real problem in order to justify disliking them.

Wait what? Whether you call it an excuse or not it's been around since the beginning. The high black crime rates didn't just get invented.

You trying to sidestep their concerns and make it about something else so that you can ignore their legitimate grievances while also trying to make black people look like they're the violent ones instead is pretty racist imo.

You say it's "trying" to make it look like they are the violent ones, but no..do they not do that themselves? We can't ignore data, they *are* the violent ones.

You just responded as if people try to act like there is a problem where there isn't really a problem in order to draw attention away from racist cops, but nope: the problem is very real.

So you're saying that black people are violent.

Sure man, you're totally not racist. What was I thinking. Totally legit points being made here, keep it up. 👆

And yet your post of "makes it seem like black people are the violent ones" makes it seem like they aren't, but the cops are the violent ones instead.

Why is that okay?

TBF, that's the reason everybody is mad at everybody. The good blacks don't seem to be monitoring the good blacks, the good Muslims don't seem to be monitoring the bad Muslims, the good whites don't seem to be monitoring the bad whites. That's where EVERBODY'S problem lies.

We all tell others to change but have no willingness to change ourselves. IMO, this is just instinctive human behavior. We do it both on a large scale and a personal scale. And we are all guilty of it.

You miss the point though, one side isn't going "Cop Lives Matter" and yet ignoring the largest taker of cop lives.

Yet the other side screams about black lives and yet honestly seems to not give a shit about it.

6 cops shot.

Because that was the actual purpose of BLM. Its a response specifically to the string of unjust killings by cops. You trying to change the issue to black on black violence is like going to an AID's research clinic and yelling "you should just stop having gay sex you perverts!" and is quite frankly, a really offensive and shitty thing to do.

Actually saying you care about black lives and ignoring the largest taker of those lives is a really shitty thing to do.

Nobody says never talk about police brutality, they just wish people would get as outraged over the much more rampant violence.

hence the double standards 👆

I mean they just want to scream and scream about what the cops do, but what their own people do is just..meh, par for the course I guess?

Preventing crime is supposed to be the purview of the police. The outrage of BLM is that instead of doing that they are killing unarmed non-threatening black people and getting away with it.

And national media ignores instances of black cops shooting and killing white people. This infuriates whites and contributes to racism in general.

But nope cop out time. Their very name says what they are about: black lives. So thus the biggest taker of black lives should be the priority, yes? If you're a pediatrician the very name means you specialize in seeing f*cking kids. Why should a group caring about black lives not be concerned about the biggest taker of black lives?

Also unarmed non-threatening black people? Anton Sterling had a rap sheet half a mile long and had the cops called on him because he was waving a gun in someone's face. Come talk to me when a non-criminal black men gets shot just for being black. Or was Mike Brown the unarmed non-threatening guy you meant?

A career criminal waving a gun in innocent peoples faces isn't non-threatening.

Well, just create a White Lives matter movement and maybe it will even out the racism.

Honestly the media plays a massive role. There are cops trying to reform corruption. There are blacks trying to reform their neighborhoods. The only thing is that the media doesn't show us this. It only shows us the worst because well, the media is inherently sensationalist and more than likely bribed.

You can't because we live in a society where people have literally had to apologize for saying "all lives matter" lol.

Imagine if people rounded up someone and made him apologize for saying "2+2=4" or "The capitol of Texas is Austin".

I don't apologize for that. They do. Equally.

Yet they are silent when some of their psycho supporters do virtually the same thing to police..

You'll get no argument from me on the media.

It isn't a cop out to say that police should be doing the jobs they signed up for and have a responsibility to perform. It isn't the responsibility of black people to police their race, its the responsibility of the police. Instead injustices are being carried out, causing the backlash of BLM. The point of the name is that black lives are being senselessly lost and then the responsibility for their loses aren't being upheld. Thud people feel like black lives don't matter to police or the judicial system. So no, the movements priority should be the thing the movement was f*cking founded about.

More blaming the victim shit. Despicable.
