Black Lives Matter

[Deleted]

Thug lives however be they black, white or something else...

Anyway, what I'd recommend for the SJW crowd is this: If you're going to claim that black people (or any group of people) are unfairly targeted and murdered by police on a systematic level, damn, at least come up with a poster boy that isn't a thug and didn't try to resist arrest LOL. It's really hard for sane people to have sympathy for violent offenders.

And no, poverty is no excuse for crime. I MIGHT have some sympathy for thugs provided they: a. were genuinely starving and couldn't get any job or work b. committed theft by stealth without assaulting or killing anyone and c. went to different charities to get help and failed, but that's not the case here is it? No, a lot of these criminals make it too obvious with the whole gangsta "fuck the police" culture. That might work for GTA but not the real world sorry LOL

The real agenda is lawlessness and it shouldn't surprise anyone that crime has gone up since BLM activism started. When you make it hard for police to do their job guess what? (They don't do their job. Shhhh.)

Now by thugs...what do you mean? Was black people too hard for you to type? Your post would have been shorter if you just said "I'm a racist."

LOL, this is perfect example of soft bigotry of low expectations.

[unbound]

Thug refers to people being of criminal intent and is not bound by race. Blacks refers of all of one race, if anything you're post is the racist one.

I'm not sure what you expect to accomplish here, you are just stating things that are said in every BLM post ever.

[Rezhial]

I can't tell which thread is better. This or your "Deadbeats" one.

[Oviorasi]

Not here to sell books but I'm reading a really good one now by Jesse Lee Peterson. It's called "The Antidote" if you are interested. Bought it 3 days ago and I'm about 1/2 through with it. Peterson is black but his viewpoint is very different from many so-called "black leaders"

MERGED lol that's where it'll led. Merged and forgotten.

Do you think it a-okay for officers of the law to brutalize, murder and destroy evidence of (so-called) thugs?

Are you saying it is up to OFFICERS OF THE LAW to decide the extent and punishment of citizens?

Keep in mind, violent offenders are still citizens of the United States and still have certain rights under the law. Not to mention that in the US, we have deemed the courts of law as responsible for passing judgement and punishment on citizens. Not the officers of the law.

No matter one's station, disposition or potential crime- all citizens of the United States are entitled to not be brutalized or murdered.

Personal sympathy is not required and frankly intellectually insulting to offer. The ladder of law has no top or bottom.

If cops legitimately fear for their life, im A-Ok with them killing someone committing a crime.

This is America. Everyone is kinda always legitimately in fear of their lives.

No, I don't think they should "brutalize, murder and destroy evidence".

I do however think they can shoot in self-defense, even if it's not the optimal course of action. (Just because it's not optimal doesn't mean it's not justifiable.)

Also a very tiny percentage of arrests of blacks or whites go this bad, we're talking a few hundred out of millions of arrests, most of them deserve it for resisting, so this is no evidence of "systemic brutality". It's bogus.

Im not kinda legitimately in fear of my life. I wake up, make my coffee, go to work, drive home and make dinner, spend time with my family and then go to bed. Nothing to fear.

Now if im a cop, I wake up, make my coffee, get called into potentially dangerous situations and see a criminal coming at me with what looks like a weapon, im going to shoot him.

[Lochton]

Well, really. All lives matter until you are some thug or worse that'll need a quick disposal of.

As people already throw around the markings, isn't it racism to only think of one 'race'?

[TwistedSkull]

Wow someone has an agenda.
