WRONG, Blacks are 3 times as likely to be killed by Police as whites, get your facts straight
And unpardonably ignorant false equivalencies underwriting four centuries of white supremacy sicken me.

No, I think your point is to devalue the BLM movement - which has a legitimate case to make over how blacks have been treated for ages - and to just point to a useless piece of information - that all are capable of violence. Well who would have thought!
I sense a lot of anger and hatred in your posts. Is there a reason?
No, my point is that not only does BLM but that all lives are at stake here. We already have seen the injustice on black people but we can't just focus on one group at the expense off all groups.No, I think your point is to devalue the BLM movement - which has a legitimate case to make over how blacks have been treated for ages - and to to just point to a useless piece of information - that all are capable of violence.

The wonder and awe of "all things".
Yes, it was such a striking moment to hear someone object to 'black lives matter' (a needed point when some individual police officers (not most) were basically doing extrajudicial executions, and seemingly according to skin color) by countering that 'all lives matter' or 'blue lives matter' or such (as if saying 'black lives matter' implied they matter more than other lives).
Instead of saying "Yes, black lives matter because all lives matter" (what few or none were saying), they were saying a different thing.
They were saying "I (or we) matter too", as if that was in question or not actualized already. As if they were treated as if they did not matter.
It was such a moment, in my view, because suddenly I heard a suggestion of pain, suffering, longing, among some people (of other races) where they are in effect saying (if I can paraphrase the feeling side of it) something like "please, someone care about me!"
Because you've been posting totally racist white supremacist video, and making up false statistics to try and minimize the huge injustices that Black people face.
Who is? This is just a nonsense argument. Think the females who tried to get the vote in earlier years made such a stupid comparison - like all kids need the vote as well. Their aim was as legitimate as those advocating for equal treatment for blacks now - and directed towards such.

On the plus side, it's certainly making some people more creative.
Yes, as my title did say BLM
I don't know where you are going with this. I advocate for equal treatment for blacks.
And your answer to this is?
That is indeed a problem.
But stating it that way disguises the larger problem of police shooting
people of every race for no good reason. (Even more white people
die that way.) And then there are the beatings & harassment.
But even more striking is that 95% of the victims are male. Gender
overwhelms race, eh. But most people accept it as normal that male
behavior causes their own deaths. As I see it, cop behavior causes it.
They're trained to be excessively violent, conditioned to be fearful of
civilians, inadequately vetted (for hatreds, biases, bullying, etc), expected
to treat interactions with us for financial reward, & aware that they're not
fully accountable for their actions.
It makes sense for BLM to exist, & to vigorously advocate change
for their benefit. But they're not the only demographic with keen &
justified interest in advocating for their own rights.

To counter such pathetic drivel so long as it seems more responsible than ignoring it.
Well don't try to derail the legitimacy of the issues raised by the usual 'all lives matter' nonsense. Surely you will have noticed that this issue is important to many more than just in the USA - I'm from the UK, and we too still have race issues, as do many other countries. No one is trying to make out blacks to be more important than others in any context but they do have legitimate grievances, and ongoing, so why would any reasonable person not see such?
Counter pathetic drivel Doesn't seem to be working. I don't think anyone is ignoring it. With a black president elected twice, I think are making strides in the right direction
Yes, something is systemically wrong. Unfortunately, many white people seem to want to locate that systemic problem everywhere but the obvious.
The race gap
Only in total number, but not in proportion to group size.
Another view....
Many white & black people want to see the problems of policing
as solely about racial discrimination. They ignore other & larger
problems because the focus de jour is BLM.
How to deal with BLM, ALM, WLM, & even MLM?
Recognize that they all have common goals, & that different
perspectives shouldn't create hostility. Better & safer policing
for all is the great need.
