I'm sorry, where in that article does Black Lives Matter condone murder? And that site as a whole is horrible. Wow.

Whoa.

It's a real life Trump supporter.

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 figured from the rest of the post about black on black crime that I was referring to the fact innocent black people are getting killed every day by other black people. A lot! 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.

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.

If BLM was truly out to improve the lives of African American people their focus would be on stopping black on black crime as that is by far the biggest problem for them in the U.S. Instead it is headed by a criminal who has developed a hate group trying to disguise itself as something else. After the Dallas shootings there were plenty of tweets from BLM individuals celebrating the death of those officers. Officers who go out every day and put their lives on the line to protect people of every race. Officers who have been killed protecting the lives of people protesting against them. I am not saying there are not bad cops, of course there are, but a few bad cops are by far not the biggest problem for black people in the U.S.

This is horrendous logic. Every major city in the US has groups and organizations to address violence and poverty in ghettos. Take a city like Chicago for example that has dozens upon dozens of organizations who's sole purpose is to address the black on black crime issues. Black Lives Matters is a group to address police brutality. That is their cause. An aids organization shouldn't be told their cause has no merit because cancer is a bigger problem.

He's not? Pretty sure he has said multiple times he is. Well that's weird if he isn't but I'm glad he isn't if true.

I bet you're probably right.

Of course, these things aren't equivalent; I doubt you'll find many cops - even racist cops - who openly and publicly support killing black people for being black, which is as close as I can come up with to the guy who goes on twitter after Dallas and says "F*** yeah, 5 cops dead, now for the 6th, 7th, 8th..."

But yes, agreed, they're both not the "average" member of the group you might run into. The average cop isn't racist. He is probably poorly trained in the use of firearms - which, incidentally, is likely the biggest reason for this incident happening.

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.

Obviously not. I don't like BLM, I consider much of what that movement has done to be incendiary, counterproductive, simplistic and tribal. But like I say, you have to be looking pretty hard for the BLM people who are truly violent... for example, just off the top of my head, if you happen to be writing for a conservative website and want to just trash the whole movement...

Fine, support the killing of police officers by a racist terror group. I am out, a bunch of hating idiots on here. Keep buying the b.s you are fed though, so funny how if this was a group that was called white lives matter you would be screaming racism. I think all lives matter, you losers condone killing cops and think that is ok. Don't even bother giving me an infraction, I am done on here. I used to love this community but I want no part of a bunch of yahoos that support a hate group whose main goal is to shoot and kill police officers. Goodbye.

Everyone is wrong I'm right. Screw your logic I know everything.

I thought he said he's a conservation officer. Busting those bad guys that are fishing with barbed hooks, and dirt bikers without headlights.

I could be wrong. Maybe he'll set me straight.

Literally no one here is supporting the killing of police officers. Literally not a single person. And I would imagine a huge percentage of those supporting the BLM movement are also not in favor of murdering police officers, merely holding them to a higher standard.

Of course all lives matter. Does this guy who was shot at, for absolutely no reason, while attempting to care for an autistic man, while being in no way threatening--does his life matter? And the autistic man who was the actual target of this officer--a harmless man playing with a freaking toy truck--does his life matter?

Philando Castle--who was cooperating with the officer who had stopped him, who was merely reaching for his ID as he was told to do, who was then shot repeatedly with a 4 year old child in the back seat--did his life matter?

Just stop with this. Police are given a huge amount of responsibility, and when they do their job improperly, people can die. If anyone at any other job screws up that badly--they get fired, and if they're responsible for someone's death due to negligence, they get arrested and prosecuted. Yet police are allowed to jump to conclusions and kill innocent people and they get a paid vacation and desk work? Bad police need to be punished for their actions, period. Saying that bad police deserve punishment isn't supporting cop killers.

Whoa, someone really linked an MRA return of Kings article as something other than "here is an example of the biggest garbage dump on the internet"?

Not sure what the argument is here. Best case scenario a cop tried to put three rounds into an autistic man playing with a toy train and worst case scenario he tried to murder a man who had completely and utterly surrendered. Lunacy.

Typical leftie garbage.

It was a truck, not a train.

K I'll usually be the first to defend the police but this one is just ####ed.

He shot the guy doing nothing because he missed the mentally ill person who was doing nothing? Jesus
