Im active in the BLM movement and I can tell you that is NOT the case. When the Dallas event happened, the shooter was asked about motives, agenda...affiliations..........not a single mention of BLM. The movements spokespersons had condemned the attack immediately after it happened. They've condemned the ambush attack in Baton Rouge. That killer produced a video stating he was not affiliated with BLM. The movement has never, is not currently, nor will it EVER endorse or condone the killing of cops. That's counterproductive.
So please, stop spreading bullshit. Folks are starting to call you mfs out on it and your attempts to promote false narratives to promote agendas. Yall need to stop digesting bloggers and Breitbart spin and actually research the truth. If BLM was a terrorist organization don't you think the anti terrorism commission would have already made the recommendation that they be listed ?
Folks are reaching by suggesting just because a black person instigates or kills a cop that he/she is affiliated with the movement. (BTW over 70% of cops killed this year were by anglos). Is it okay that we ally you with the KKK since they happen to be anglo and Christian ? Do we now label Christianity a terrorist organization simply because the KKK labels itself a Christian organization ? To even remotely hint at such is premium grade A BS. And the notion that you mutherfuckers are actually investing into that dangerous narrative suggests you will consume anything and regurgitate it..
Most white folks get it, I happen to associate with em. But SOME of you folks here....my gawd.....just ******* amazing.
Heres a suggestion. Go to a protest or BLM rally and stand on the fringes and when the crowds start to thin, go up to a protestor or to one of the events organizers and ask them what their agenda is. If you want to help, they'll give you information to the local chapters website and you can get involved. If you don't wish to get involved simply walk away or get out the way. But don't launch criticism for a movement that's trying to promote transparency and police accountability. In the end, BLM will force wholesale changes to how the police, POLICE everyone. All of society will win. Unfortunately some folks are too hung up on the bs lies and this notion that BLM wants special treatment and that we are separatists. Hardly the case.
The problem, as with most issues on a national level, is the uneven media coverage.
Do you actually see the news covering the peaceful, and respectful protests? No
What you do see is the news covering every protest that resulted in conflicts. Whites yelling at Blacks, Blacks yelling at Whites -- all trying to talk over or put down the other.
How about when protesters cause a disruption on major highways? How about at college campuses in lecture halls? I've seen that several times on the news.
Colleges are creating 'safe spaces' for students where just the name of Donald Trump is considered hate speech and threatening. Meanwhile, BLM protestors disrupting a college lecture hall and guest speakers is perfectly fine.
Don't you think the students that are there to listen to the speaker feel threatened by the protestors? It's hypocritical at the very least.
So yes... I'm sure that the BLM movement has it's roots in peaceful protest, but that does not excuse or absolve those members who are on camera calling for killing cops.
