Baton Rouge - 3 officers dead

[GrinningMan]

BLM does not do that... it's designed to raise awareness to help fire any remaining crooked racist cops out of the police force. It's not designed to hate ALL cops as guilty, and you know that.

Suppose you don't have to fire them if you just kill them, right?

If I had an apologist like you in my back pocket, all my problems would be solved.

#BLM has lost all meaning to its movement a long time ago... just like how man haters have adopted the term of feminism, which was originally for equality.

We've had, what, 4 black people turn to shooting cops in retaliation?

Those 4 have turned the BLM statement into something else? here's an idea, how about NOT giving them credit for BLM and charge them as criminals instead? Ever consider its YOU and the rest of the herd who's labeling them with BLM? Just as you labeling "Femnazis" as "Feminists"? How about you call out the bad apples instead of throwing out the entire crop?

BLM of course does this. Not only that, but even when officers are declared innocent, many BLM members still consider them guilty - look at Darren Wilson.

BLM is designed to spread anger and encourage violence towards cops for perceived past injustices, whether they actually took place or not.

“Three officers are confirmed dead and three others wounded after a shooting in Baton Rouge, a sheriff’s office spokeswoman said Sunday,” denverpost.com reports. “One suspect is dead and law enforcement officials believe two others are still at large, the spokeswoman said.”

“Officers and deputies from the Baton Rouge Police Department and East Baton Rouge Sheriff’s Office were involved,” chicagotribune.com reports. “Multiple officers from both agencies sustained injuries and were transported to local hospitals.”

Most recent update.

And I wasn't talking about just these recent police shootings... I'm talking about the group's behaviour in general.

Is this the straw that breaks the camel's back? Is gun control legislation around the corner?

[Independent voter]

They always say there were multiple suspects at first, just something I've noticed about these mass shootings.

Labels, labels, labels, labels...

I'm so tired of people labeling others (and apparently now, me)... trying to fool your brain into believing something that isn't the case because it makes it easier for you to understand instead of looking at the real heart of the problem.

Jesus christ, I'm just saying 4 criminals do not equal what BLM stands for, just as those few crooked cops killing those people aren't representational of the police - if you deleted the BLM hashtag out of everybody's minds, the crime still would've happened due to the videos, which is what triggered these guys. There's no secret BLM organization sending troops out to assasinate cops here, and you know that. The crooked police and the current blacks shooting police are, in my book, exactly the same.

Or, let me put this in another light - if you blame BLM for that - then why aren't you blaming the Police for encouraging racism? You don't believe the Police are doing that? Why not, is it because that's not their primary function?

Now you understand MY point (hopefully?)

Well it wouldn't be the first time black people were the source of new gun legislation/regulations. (California is a good example)

So the guy with the truck was religious? I heard quite the opposite in the news

ISIS even took the blame.....

I think it's time to pull our boys in blue out of predominantly black communities. Let them police themselves if they hate cops so much. They can get a small tax break or something that they can then spend on crack and 40s. Just kidding, you need a job to pay taxes.

So you'll get no-go zones because of what one man (apparently multiple suspects, but still) does. They're usually set up because the whole area is just trouble.

I think that's a general assumption until they have more concrete information. It's not like they have a little box on every corner that ticker-tapes out exact events. :P

Hell, we don't even know if this is actually a TARGETED attempt at cops or (gasp!) cops being called in on some suspect activity and end up in a firefight (ie. doing their job :P)

The only thing that will solve this is liberalism and a one world government.

"Problem in America.....shooting...."

Everything else is just white noise.

Yeah, ignore EVERY other factor...just focus on that.
Decay of society ? Nah,
Just because the words "shooting" or "gun" are involved, that is enough for you to place blame ....on an object or method...make a snarky comment,bypass ANY other facts (there are very few at this point) and pass judgement.

Holy Shit snacks...I love these boards...they serve to remind me of the "level" of human "thought" I am going to/have to deal with daily.

Weird that they would spread the rumor he was non-religious. What motivation would a non-religious type have for doing something like that?

[Tennis]

I read the same. He had a long history of mental health issues.

But but.... I thought Black Lives Matter was peaceful?

This have nothing with BLM to do. if you think it does you are very badly informed about real life and i do feel sorry for you.

[mvaliz]

To be fair - ISIS seems to accept responsibility for everything ASAP weither it's them or not, with a belief that they're more badass by it. Look at the homophobic guy in Florida - he was not part of ISIS at all and acted on his own volition, yet they took "credit" for him despite actually ignoring his whatever attempts at contacting them.

Agreed. This is happening because we do not have any equality in our nation. What do the people expect to happen when they refuse to let themselves balance everything out? A liberalized nation will solve all of these problems.

You must've missed stuff like people chanting they want dead cops
