Of course. What better position to be in?Originally Posted by puppetmaster
So do you guys agree with Black Lives Matter on the matter of police shootings of black people?
For myself, yes. But, just because I believe in that does not mean I believe in the Us (black) vs. Blue (white controlled) agenda pushed by the organization. Law enforcement in this country is out of wack and headed towards the <insert Godwin's Law discriptor.> Death by cop is color blind.
I just want objectivity on this forum and will point out flawed sources or points of view at my leisure.
OMG! Local news keeps interrupting "Survivor!" WTF have we become as a nation when this is possible?
I do not. In my opinion they make a big mistake by compartmentalizing the problem into race. Truthfully I think the majority of them would be ok if cops stopped shooting blacks and just shot white people. Which makes them no better than the bootlickers on the other side that automatically assume if a cop shoots a black person they must have been a thug.

That's my position, as well.

There are no crimes against people.
There are only crimes against the state.
And the state will never, ever choose to hold accountable its agents, because a thing can not commit a crime against itself.
I can only assume that it would be OK with BLM if they stuck to beating them to death like Kelly Thomas, or tying them to chairs and pepper spraying them to death like Nick Christie, or melting their faces off with flashbang grenades like Baby Bou Bou.
Or any of the other stuff that they do to non-blacks.

Where does BLM stand on Louima Abner? I mean he just had a broken mop shoved up his anus by a cop. He was black, but it wasn't a shooting, and he survived, so it's OK, right?

Hands up don't shoot being a complete lie is just one of the many many cases where they have lied about shootings involving black people. BLM can $#@! off.
I am the spoon.
A big to-do by the media about mostly nothing. A few broken windows uptown and a looted basketball merchandise store attached to the Hornets arena. Charlotte isn't really the kind of city where people go bat$#@! and start burning things down.

"We have set them on the hobby-horse of an idea about the absorption of individuality by the symbolic unit of COLLECTIVISM. They have never yet and they never will have the sense to reflect that this hobby-horse is a manifest violation of the most important law of nature, which has established from the very creation of the world one unit unlike another and precisely for the purpose of instituting individuality."- A Quote From Some Old Book
Really it is entirely irrelevant. I have as much a right to carry around a book as I do a gun. To shoot me because I am holding either is tyrannical and evil. It is murder.
Because you are sick and what is wrong with the system. Unrestrained violence put into the hands of arrogant thugs will always result in oppression and bloodshed.
Still it si good to know you have no problem with being a murderer. Lets me know I don't have to worry about respecting you.
i can see their concern....
the shooter also has a right to shoot if he or she feels threatened right? Facts are, to get out of a car with a gun while ANY other person(s) are pointing a gun at you is dangerous and easily could be viewed as threatening. If it went down like it sounds, then I feel the officer could be justified. Who knows he could have been pointing his gun or attempting to? We may never know.
