(Queen) Beyoncé wants everyone to respect all after shooting in MN

[TheramoreIsTheBomb]

After the MN shooting occured, Beyonce has had -enough-

In the wake of the police shootings of Alton Sterling in Louisiana and Philando Castile in Minnesota, Beyoncé is demanding justice.

The singer, who, while bold, is also notoriously press-shy, issued a powerful statement Thursday castigating police violence perpetrated against communities of color, demanding not only that it stop but that people contact their Congress members.

“We are sick and tired of the killings of young men and women in our communities,” she wrote. “It is up to us to take a stand and demand that they ‘stop killing us.’”

Beyoncé has been especially outspoken against police brutality since the surprise release of her music video for “Formation” in February. Politicians and political pundits have accused her of being “anti-police” for her criticisms. Boycotts have even been held against her. But while she’s stated her “admiration” for law enforcement, she stands firm that a police badge doesn’t absolve anyone of accountability:

We don’t need sympathy. We need everyone to respect our lives. We’re going to stand up as a community and fight against anyone who believes that murder or any violent action by those who are sworn to protect us should consistently go unpunished.

These robberies of lives makes us feel helpless and hopeless. But we have to believe that we are fighting for the rights of the next generation, for the next young men and women who believe in good.

This is a human fight. No matter your race, gender, or sexual orientation. This is a fight for anyone who feels marginalized, who is struggling for freedom and human rights.

This is not a plea to all police officers but toward any human being who fails to value life. The war on people of color and all minorities needs to be over.

Fear is not an excuse. Hate Will Not Win.

Shes right. Police brutality needs to end. It contradicts what being a police officer to all about. You're supposed to protect and enforce the law, not destroy lives and BREAK the law!

[Tackhisis]

Ridiculous. Those "young men and women" in "their communities" just have to grow up, renounce thug life and learn to be polite and reasonable.

[Kraenen]

So she's fallen to the level of conspiracy theorist and this is important?

[Sunseeker]

Meanwhile, tens of thousands of police went about their jobs without killing anyone at all.

Meanwhile, tens of thousands of police went about their jobs without killing anyone at all.

Meanwhile still, police commit unfair acts including but not limited to shootings of demographics other then blacks.

But the police who shoot non-minorities? never mind those.
And the vast majority of police who are perfectly lawful and doing their job right? yup, forget those too.

Edit: oh and lets not forget the police who are being targeted and gunned down.
I don't think there's a pragmatic and fair way to actually implement something like this, but I'm really starting to feel like the media, BLM-types, and people like Beyonce need to be held accountable for inciting some of the terrible and counter-productive things going on.

[Bapestar]

She is right ,but people on mmoc will bash her, because truth hurts. But yea, some black people need to change as well. She also made it clear this is bigger than just race, and extends to gender and sexual orientation.

Shes right. Police brutality needs to end.

No, you know what needs to end? The armchair quaterbacking by a bunch of ignorant dickheads with an agenda that NEVER wait for a final investigation - they just run their stupid, ill-informed and idiotically opinionated fucking mouths based on some bullshit shaky video or some crappy and unreliable "eyewitness" and then convict and condemn every single LEO.

Michael Brown, Eric Garner, and Freddie Gray - all completely BULLSHIT narratives put forth by idiots that don't know their fucking asses from a hole in the ground and seek to do nothing but cause racial strife and unrest. Fuck BLM - fuck their entire narrative, they are completely full of shit.

I like this guy. Well said.

[Stelio Kontos]

Queen?

Of what?

[the game]

Criminals need to stop breaking the law too.

Those may not be the best cases, that show police brutality, but it definitely exists.

Stop generalizing cops, you are painting with a broad brush.

[Independent voter]

Hope they listen to her. And they might, it's worked in the past.

[Pebrocks The Warlock]

I'd like to see what she says about tonight's shooting, likely silent.

[Masark]

Stop generalizing cartel members, you are painting with a broad brush.

Does this sentence also portray your views? If not, why?

[PC2]

As long as there is no proof a cartel member broke the law then I don't see the problem. You have to take it 1 case at a time.

[Kraenen]

Those may not be the best cases, that show police brutality, but it definitely exists.

Sure it exists. But does it constitute a "war on blacks and minorities"? Unless you have new evidence no one else has, no it doesn't.

[Tempguy]

But "us" killing each other must be totally okay with her.
