That needs to be the focus, to help them better their community, to stop black on black crime, to elevate them out of the poverty areas and to give them opportunities to thrive. Not a war on white people and police.

You know what would probably help the black community get out of poverty?
If police didn't needlessly target them for minor, non-violent drug crimes (i.e. possession), and if the judicial system didn't unfairly punish them for those minor crimes. Because if a guy with a couple ounces of weed on him doesn't get the max sentence, then you have fathers who are there for their children, and you have black men who are able to get and keep employment, who then don't turn to drugs and violence instead.
This isn't a problem that the black community can bring themselves out of alone, this is a systemic problem that involves a million tiny nuances, and unfair policing is just a part of the problem--but it is a part of the problem.

Anyway, BLM doesn't "condone" or "support" killing police officers - they don't really "condone" or "support" anything. It's a leaderless movement. But if you're looking for them you can find people who are BLM activists who do make pretty heinous statements about killing cops, or idolizing past cop killers.
That, again, is if you're looking for them.

I would imagine that for as many BLM activists are actually condoning police killings--you have just as many police officers who have no problem throwing out the n-word, treating black people as criminals regardless of any actual criminal activity, etc.
The percentage of awful BLM members and racist police officers is probably pretty equal. Of those that I've seen and heard who are supporting the BLM movement--it's not about killing cops. It's about holding police to a higher standard, about re-educating and re-training officers so that deadly force is a last resort, not the first. I'm sure there are radical BLM members--just as sure as I am that there are racist police officers.
