I guess no one seems to remember the 8 years of Obama vilifying the police ( “cops acting stupidly” to “If I had a son…”, beergate 3 of many), then  BLM chants "pigs in a blanket..." and  “What do we want? Dead cops. When do we want them? Now.” that caused the five police officers assassinated and seven wounded by a sniper out to shoot anything 'blue' while these officers protected those protesters from being shot. If you chant something long enough, you get results, whether it be bad or good chants.

IMHO I'm sorry, but all these "peaceful" protests may have been started by BLM  but they have agitated the hate groups of antifa, anarchists, and others which gave them a huge advantage to move in. BLM is getting what they want...violence and there's no way to stop it now. BTW, have those who side with BLM, do you really know who heads these chapters? I think you should do a little research on their backgrounds. It's not pretty.

There is a difference between (1) the absolute truth and legitimacy to the notion that black lives DO matter and that racism and hate crimes are a problem that need to be dealt with; and (2) the myth that every single time a white police officer arrests a person of color or has to use force to subdue a suspect who is not cooperating with an arrest (resisting, going for what may or may not be a weapon, etc.) that it is because the cop is racist and the suspect is absolutely 100% innocent and a martyr for the BLM cause.


The problem I have with the BLM movement is the perception that they pick and choose which black lives matter and which black lives are irrelevant (David Dorn and the hundred if not thousands who are killed routinely in black on black crime), because they do not fit the narrative. That, and their assault on the inherent value of the nuclear family.
