    Yes we do. And you, like many others pay attention and acknowledge all three, right?

    Yes and how to stop them and eradicate it.

    Much of the country is fed up with BLM and it's bringing anger towards the very group of people BLM supposedly made their cause for. That's not success.

    If they're angry at black people, the ones BLM has made its cause for, then maybe people just wanted someone to be angry at in the first place.

    So you chose that over people are angry at protesters blocking highways, destroying things, looting, and assaulting, chanting they want dead cops,etc?

    BLM doesn't incite violence. People who suggest that have never read their platform. There may be people within the organization that incite violence but that's not a representation of the group as a whole.

    If you're angry at protestors, fine be angry. Did anyone ever ask why the protestors are angry? Or what to do to make then not be angry?

    The protesters are angry because they want more rights than the rest of Americans. They also just want police to die.

    When protesters conduct themselves in the way BLM has, no one cares anymore why they're protesting. Not to mention, some of the protesters don't really know why they're protesting.

    If they don't care or bother to ask why they're protesting then that's just making it worse.

    Because everyone has equal rights granted to them by the constitution. The BLM bigotry is demanding more rights and exemption from crime.

    I'm not exactly sure when the BLM bigots started "protesting". I'd have to give it a google

    The best way to stop the protesters anger is to give them access to honest, non-inflammatory news reporting.

    Nearly every time a black person is shot by a police officer (never mind the officer's race), it is immediately national news; promoted in a way as to fuel the narrative of wanton killings of blacks by police.

    “From 2000 to 2013, the number of whites killed by the police increased 57 percent, while the number of blacks killed by the police increased 42 percent,”

    https://m.csmonitor.com/USA/Justice...ink-about-cops-and-race-is-far-too-simplistic


    Experts are concerned about flaws with the study cited in the article linked above, but give it their qualified endorsement.

    "Criminologists have qualms with the study, saying it has not yet been fully vetted by other experts and has flaws in its execution. But they suggest the findings could be a valuable attempt to debunk what they see as the current, simplistic narrative about police violence and race."

    On a side note, I'm getting reaquainted with the Christian Science Monitor. It's looking, more and more, like they still have their straight-up, unbiased news analysis.

    EVERY time a black guy gets shot by an officer? That's a bit of a stretch there.

    Fair enough. I'll edit it to: nearly every time.

    It has the word black associated with it, so it's automatically wrong in the world of rightwingers. It doesn't matter what comes after black.

    Platform and activities they incite are two different matters.

    Kind of like being Anti Racist but supporting Black against everyone racism as BLM.

    I feel terrible for this officer. His life as he knew it has been ruined. I wish him luck with this suit but I doubt it will go anywhere. It will set a slippery slope for every criminal to blame "a movement" for his actions.

    McKesson is a rabble rouser. He was a rabble rouser before any of us heard about BLM, and he will continue to be. And what's amazing is he graduated from a very conservative white college in Maine, Bowdoin, where he was student body President. He hasn't been a victim of anything white that I'm aware of.

    The National Laughinstock: Steve Scalise's Assassin Wasn't Incited by Rachel Maddow, or Bernie Sanders, or MSNBC, or CNN;
    He Was Motivated By a Very Local Right Wing Pro-Trump Radio Host


    Makes as much sense on anything else on CNN or the National Laughingstock, I guess.

    A bizarre Washington Post article that ran over the weekend ("In Alexandria shooter’s hometown, rage-filled radio host channels middle America’s inner frustration") has readers shaking their heads in disbelief. Follow
    [​IMG]Washington Post

    In Alexandria shooter’s home town, rage-filled radio host channels middle America’s inner frustration http://wapo.st/2tTEYde

    In Alexandria shooter’s hometown, rage-filled radio host channels middle America’s inner frustration

    Bob Romanik rages against politicians in Belleville, Ill., and for that people love him.

    washingtonpost.com


    The article strongly suggests, without evidence, that left-wing terrorist James T. Hodgkinson was influenced by a right-wing radio host in his hometown.

    The article notes that the radio host in question is a racist who drops the n-word with aplomb and likes talking up his Caucasian heritage.

    So what experts does the National Laughingstock turn to as to whether they think that this pro-Trump goof could have influenced the Trump-hating Hodgkinson?

    Why, they turned to this radio host's core audience, a group very familiar with his show:

    The journalist went to a black church in town and apparently asked members if they thought Hodgkinson was influenced by Romanik.

    Outstanding.

    And #VeryFakeNews.

    Actually, this makes sense, nothing drives a "progressive" to murderous rage than someone holding a different political position! Such folks are "evil" or "deplorable" or "Irredeemable" in the black and white world of the "progressive".

    So police shouldn't take any precautions whatsoever because they signed up for a dangerous job?

    Oh gee, ya gots me there. I just don't know how to get out of your disconnected conundrum designed as a relevant question instead of some persecutory bullshit masquerading as such.

    One up to you, eh.
