If you can find instances of BLM condoning cop killings, I'll close my account https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g8Yqv8mnywU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hqQXmnMr_w8 Bye Felicia. He wont close his account. Hell just welch or come back with some denial nonsense like yeah, but thats not real BLMers! Exceeeeeept... Ignoring the fact that the first video is the same few seconds of an afternoon-long protest on repeat: Theres no doubt that some protesters who claim the mantle of Black Lives Matter have said offensive things, like the chant pigs in a blanket, fry em like bacon that was heard at one rally. But before we condemn the entire movement for the words of a few, we should ask ourselves whether we would also condemn the entire Republican Party for the racist words of its presumptive nomineeor for the racist rhetoric of many other politicians in the party over the course of years. http://time.com/4413786/splc-black-lives-matter/ For starters, I dont think Black Lives Matter belongs in the online conversation about whether Americans should be denouncing violence on all sides. The movements end of stopping unjust police killings is laudable; and its leaders and the vast majority of its members openly favor nonviolent means. Plus, unlike Nazis, nothing about the future it desires is inseparable from initiating violence. That doesnt mean it is beyond criticism. It is a large, free-wheeling movement without clear leaders, and individual participants have no doubt acted badly on many occasions, as is true of groups as varied as the Sons of Liberty in 1775, anti-Vietnam War protesters, and the Tea Party. I have criticized Black Lives Matter activists in the past for disrupting a Bernie Sanders event and for the tactic of blocking freeways. https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2017/08/drawing-distinctions-antifa-the-alt-right-and-black-lives-matter/538320/ The last video isn't even related to BLM at all: This clip and some background information about it were referenced in another video debunking Black Lives Matter myths that was posted online on 10 July 2016. At approximately the three-minute mark, the narrator notes that the dead cops clip captured a small group of protesters who hung around after the end of the Millions March in December 2014 and were disavowed by the organizers of that event, while video of the official Millions March event shows that it was a peaceful protest: https://www.snopes.com/black-lives-matter-protesters-chant-for-dead-cops-now-in-baton-rouge/ <cite>ThanksUglyGod posted [p:896317550] in Dang, I gu...
