[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]violent crime is up everywhere, you can thank black lives matter http://wtop.com/national/2016/06/us-cities-see-unexplained-rise-in-violent-crimes-this-year/ [/quote] Not clear what the real reason is. But, true, BLM sounds more likely than global warming.[/quote] Bullshit. BLM isn't telling cops to stop arresting criminals. They are telling cops to stop with the abuse. If you can't tell the difference between those two concepts then you aren't qualified to be commenting. And your "global warming" comment only adds to your idiocy.[/quote] The truth hurts it, doesn't it? BLM doesn't care about black lives. Look up murder statistics. They care about cheap media coverage, violent protests and blackmailing politicians.[/quote] What "truth?" Again there is no legitimate, conclusive or credible basis for claims that BLM is causing more people to be killed.[/quote] True. But there's legitimate, conclusive and credible basis to say that the main reasons why black lives are lost have nothing to do with the police. So, the main premise for BLM is pure BS. You will agree with that, correct? [/quote] No, that's not the main premise. You might not like the name, "Black Lives Matter" - and frankly I don't think the name fits either, but the bottom line is that they are about police brutality, not about random generalized crime. Look, nobody disagrees with you that "black on black violence" is a problem but bringing it up is an irrelevant non-sequitur. It's about as irrelevant as bringing up the fact that white people are more likely to be victims of violent crime at the hands of other whites. What does black on black violence or white on white violence have to do with police brutality? Again, BLM isn't about generalized violence, it's specifically about police brutality. Arresting and/or beating blacks for no reason other than that cops think they match the general description of some random perp in that only one characteristic is shared (being black) doesn't cut it. They are trying to deal with one issue at a time. Maybe that's not a great strategy either, but at least it would start improving trust so that the black-on-black violence issue can be more effectively dealt with.[/quote]
