This man publicly murdered and maimed many. He taunted with bomb threats and sang.

I am stunned to see some say that what he did was right....shocked. Disgusted.

If you read public Facebook comments on this topic, there are many who are upholding this vomit-inducing opinion.

You need a dictionary.
Martyr is a person who sacrifices something of great value and especially life itself for the sake of a principle, to kill (someone/or self) for refusing to give up a belief or cause. That principle/belief/cause can be good or evil, just or unjust.

I like this attempt the most. Ha ha.

The dictionary definition. Thanks.

You make sense until you remember we are not in a classroom.

If I make a video talking about mlk was a martyr, I'm giving respect. If I make a video about how David Koresh was a martyr, I'm giving respect. A personal video + use of word martyr = showing affinity for that individual and their movement.

A discussion of mlk being a martyr for his cause in an academic/journalistic/etc setting is neutral, as you suggest in your dictionary definition. A discussion of Koresh being a martyr for his cause in said setting, again, is neutral, as you suggest.

Which one was this?

Akai Gurley was an innocent killed by an over aggressive rookie cop. Why is the life of black innocent or guilty suspects less valuable than a police officers? I get her anger.

To her credit, she posted the video to show how conflicted she was. She's admittedly not proud of or happy about her feelings. She also doesn't condone violence. She is working through her issue which she has self identified. She deserves some credit as she showed courage being openly honest about her feelings. This is the first step in personal transformation. Imagine how powerful it would be if people did this.

The crux of the issue we have with blacks regarding LE, and really all other issues such as education, income inequality, etc., is that many people ultimately believe, whether they admit it internally or not, that black people, or most black people, have a culture problem. Others believe they have lower IQs and are just inherently lower functioning people. And these "facts" are the reason why they statistically are not doing as well as others. They see these views as not being P.C. instead for what they actually are: misinformed at best, overtly racist at worst. It's okay to feel this way, but if you understand what the feelings are, only then can you begin to address them.

Sure, she can hate the police. Lots of people do. She can think Johnson is a martyr. She can post her thoughts online.

I can think she's an idiot. There are bad cops, and dumb ones who make mistakes. Mass shooters, whatever their cause or motivation, are terrible disgusting people. Always.

We need more people in this world like her. She's not an idiot, she's a person who is angry. At least she realizes it and knows her thoughts are not helpful. All you are doing is hurling judgement. She didn't advocate for cops dying.

No, we don’t need more like her.
She doesn’t view these 5 police officers as human beings. She doesn’t view them as husbands, fathers, brothers, sons. She doesn’t view them as little league coaches, volunteers, Christians. She views them as white police officers. Period. She just doesn’t see them as human. In fact, I would say she views them as less than herself.
I see nothing redeeming about what she has posted. If she is conflicted - deal with it privately. Why the need to post to social media? Other than to refer to the killer as a martyr....
I think she is sick. And, totally undeserving of any kind of crowned winner of a beauty pageant. There is nothing beautiful about her.

She saying there lives is no less or more important than the lives of the unarmed men the led up to this situation. Just because she has odd opinion doesn't mean she sick.

Are you talking about yourself. PP, do you always refer to yourself in the third person?

No, the PP was talking about the attention whore who posted the screed you also see to believe. You seem to suffer the same lack of common sense and idiocy. Fortunately, the police are not run by your sort.

Ah, you are the other idiot looking in the mirror as you spew your venom against those who disagree.

After the events of last week, if you don't have conflicting feelings, you might not be fully human.
