Looks like you directed that to me, or at least got some on me with that broad brush you're painting folks with. I wasn't passing by your comment, as I had other shhhtuff to do today and am just now trying to get caught up. This thread went nuts today (yes, I am master of the obvious).Quote:

This is why you end up with statistics like this:
Attachment 81808
You can try and claim the 'moral high ground', but don't preach to me about how I'm wrong based on a worthless link which is the equivalent of a press release from BLM.
Statista.com shows 88 blacks shot to death by law enforcement so far this year in the country. Compare this to 179 shot to death in Chicago alone. You tell me. If you're being intellectually honest and there's an effort to prevent black homocide, where is the biggest opportunity to make the biggest difference?
BLM are specifically targeting law enforcement (which they admit) because they're an easy target. This also doesn't put any pressure on them to carry their own water in pursuing "justice". MSM and leftists are eager to push the measure. BLM also has a history of violence since the foundation of the organization.
Oh, and is it a coincidence that city government/police departments also have deeper pockets than some random gang banger?
Asking for a friend.
(All of my statements above in no way excuses police brutality no matter the race of the officer or citizen.)
