Well, his opinion is largely based one BLM being "based on a lie" because as he claims it was founded after the Ferguson. Missouri incident. That's factually incorrect. So his entire opinion was formed from misinformation that he 1) accepted as fact 2) is now passing along as fact.
Okay, care to share the stats that back up this correlation?
Blaming BLM for lone wolf (ex-military) cop killers...
What kind of stats would you like? Show me the stats that say they don't. That's just silly.
No the equivalent would be to blame Isis for "lone wolf terrorists". That would be a much closer analogy. Isis isn't a representation of all Muslims, just as BLM isn't a representation of all Blacks.
Except that we know both shooters had nothing to do with BLM and simply chose those protests to shoot at because they knew there'd be cops there.
Just because "shooters had nothing" to do with BLM in no way means they weren't an influence.
One of them comes off as a rightfully frustrated man and the other is a sour lemon because the interview didn't go the way he wanted it to.
Well, yes, it does. If someone kills a bunch of people at a Yankees game, you don't get to blame the Yankees for having a game. We know in both of those instances there were looking for police officers to kill. The BLM protest was just a convenient place to do it.
I completely understand what you're saying, but the reason I asked is that; if a group is legally assembling to exercise their first amendment right, why do the people who represent the establishment being protested have to show up and attempt to manage it? Seems to me like that's asking for trouble at this point.
Not my link bro, just a link. Might shed some light on what the movement is supposed to be about though rather than what the media outlets are painting it as.
I read through and I am not impressed. I saw no mention of the 90% of black murders in the US being committed by blacks, or despite only accounting for 13% of the population, blacks commit over 50% of the nations murders. I guess all those black lives don't matter? It struck me as a website looking to blame one communities problems by blaming another, without bearing any responsibility.
That is an absurd analogy. Now if the Yankees PA guy was chanting for fans to kill other fans, then yes, the Yankees would bear some responsibility.
Okay... but following your logic through, these lone wolf cop killers aren't a representation of BLM.
Did you find the part where they advocate violence against police officers?
I'm 100% against police brutality, but fostering an atmosphere for cop hate is not helping any one. According to BLM's own website it was created because of the Trayvon/Zimmerman incident...that has nothing to do with police brutality.
Except that Dallas was where most of the violence happened. So as I said earlier, there's no correlation.
So you're actually acknowledging that the intention of the movement has nothing to do with violence against police officers?
I've seen many videos where they do...would you like me to post them? Their website is one aspect of their movement. If they are engaged in protests and don't want to be associated with advocating violence against police officers than they need to be vigilant in ejecting that type of protestor.
absoloutely not
wrong, that's one scene of 5 murders.
How could you possibly argue that those cop ambushes weren't a direct result of the BLM movement?What's even stranger is how the cop killers were actually ex military (sniper & marine) and not part of BLM, but that seems to somehow be overlooked. Maybe ban the military?
So you're expecting them to police the general public and break laws in order to do it?
Even though you just said that the movements founding had nothing to do with police brutality. You're starting to fill in a lot of blanks so you can keep up the rhetoric about them being violent.
A peaceful protest (in your own words) where a murderer showed up, and you're going to blame BLM for it? You can't be serious.
Because the perpetrators had prepared statements that they'd intended to do it. PTSD is a hell of a thing.
