Why was BLM a "bad" thing?

[TitoFan]

BLM focuses on Black Lives but only a certain select few Black Lives it seems. When it comes to ANY (just, unjust, or whatever) police shooting of a Black person they are 100% all over it....and that's fine, it's good to hold the police accountable, it's good to hold politicians accountable, but at the same time some criminals happen to be black and some criminals who happen to be black EARN getting shot just like some white criminals EARN getting shot. But BLM doesn't want to look at why or how something happened, they just look at the result and the shit hits the fan.

Lyle, show me one bit of evidence where all BLM members don't "want to look at why or how something happened". It's too easy to say that. In the middle of all the shootings, if a justified one occurs, hell..... unfortunately it gets swept up in the outrage. It's not right.... but it's understandable. There's a PATTERN going on here, Lyle.

Michael Brown and the "Hands up don't shoot" narrative that is a LIE forensic evidence and video recording earlier that day shows NOT a "gentle giant" but a big violent man.

Eric Garner was not killed by police he had a heart attack struggling not to get arrested....he was arrested for selling loose cigarettes because the MAYOR OF NEW YORK WANTED TO CRACK DOWN ON THAT....his life matters but that's the cops trying to enforce a shitty law created by shitty politicians and that sucks.

Trayvon Martin physically attacked George Zimmerman until he feared for his life and shot. It doesn't make Trayvon an evil person, it doesn't make Zimmerman a good person, it's a situation where mistakes were made on both sides. If I'm that young and I feel as though I'm being followed I either run or hide or call the cops/tell an authority figure...I don't just attack someone who is following me that's ridiculous. And the MEDIA pushed a certain narrative which exacerbated the situation (and they ban Alex Jones )

For every Micheal Brown there is a Stephon Clark, Lyle.

For every Eric Garner there is a Walter Scott, Lyle.

We can go back and forth all day, but I already stated in my opening post that: "Yes... some of the blacks shot by white officers in the last few years have pretty much asked to be shot. Suspicious behavior, compounded by failure to follow direct police orders.... yeah.... those are all a recipe for disaster."

So poof..... there goes that counter-argument right there. I KNOW there are justified shootings. My guess is many BLM'ers do also. So what is a movement supposed to do..... skip and hop over individual cases? There's a PATTERN. That's what we should be concerned about.

Meanwhile in Chicago...
Year to Date
Shot & Killed: 292
Shot & Wounded: 1526
Total Shot: 1818
Total Homicides: 347

Where is BLM on THAT? They are sooooo wrapped up in police shootings they could give 2 shits about gang shootings. How is it different?

No disrespect, Lyle but..... what's your point? BLM is protesting unwarranted shootings of young black men at the hands of white police officers. The crime statistics in Chicago are another matter altogether. Apples and oranges. Why should the crime statistics in Chicago prevent BLM from protesting what they think is wrong? Chicago's issues are massive. They need well thought out solutions. They actually need forceful solutions. But again..... what's the point here? Do the crime statistics in Chicago have any bearing whatsoever on the number of white police officers who, either due to improper training, racial biases, or any number of reasons exercise total abuse of power when it comes to young black males? No... I don't think so.

BLM was started by Socialist Lesbians which doesn't discredit their cause or movement but it gives an insight as to how they view the world, they view things through that lens and to other people that view is distorted.


And kneeling for the National Anthem...yeah that doesn't help endear this cause to anyone else, it alienates and divides others who otherwise might attempt to help find a solution to this violence.

You may be right about who started BLM who knows. But I CAN tell you that many decent black people have joined BLM because they're seeing the same thing I'm seeing..... a disproportionate amount of shootings of unarmed black men by white cops. Nothing more...... nothing less. Some are warranted? Sure. There's black gangland rampant shootings in Chicago? Damn right. Some BLM'ers are wagon-jumping idiots? Certainly. But none of this invalidates my point.
