This a post worth a respectful response. I definitely preach this every in some fashion. It's 2 different dynamics. Not all, but many police are way overzealous and out of hand. They are cowards who use a badge to show they're tough. There is also subset of police brutality that in more likely to happen when the person involved is black. Sometimes it warranted and I have no sympathy for a black man that does not love his community or fellow human being.

Just because we address one issue like police brutality and police brutality towards blacks does not mean most of us in the black community accept the shite that many of us grew up around. I made it out but went through a lot of harassment for no reason. There is a difference between a cop showing strong force and committing murder. The murder by cop is what people are pissed about. Nobody gives a fck about an unruly person being tased. In many of these murders over the last 7-10 years, it was just that murder. Others were debatable. But to act like all nobody should protest or say shite about and as if it's all in our minds is the saddest sht going right now. Running from the cops or resisting arrest is not grounds for hunting season by cops. Use a taser.

The guy running with his back turned to the cops in South Carolina is murder. The guy sitting in his car that told the cops he had a legal gun in his car and slowly reached for his wallet was murdered. The most recent decision that let the cop off in St. Louis when his story leaned way more heavily toward a planted gun on the victim was murder. I personally know 2 people who were murdered by cops unarmed. One even standing in his own doorway arguing with nothing in his hands. That was murder.

All most blacks want to be seriously heard before being judged and grouped together bad blacks because we support a cause. It's natural that most white people will always side with a white cop before knowing details and a black person will side with the person killed before knowing all the details, but to act like there is no reason to escalate protest tactics when the peaceful sht was ignored people will go further.

Well, I agree with a lot of your statement here, actually. The kid running away with his back turned is murder. Same goes for the Danzinger Bridge shooting after Katrina of the special needs kid.

And I am all for throwing the book at these cops.

But I also see the truth. And I also have read the facts. And more whites die at the hands of police every year than blacks. I also know that blacks are more inclined to commit violent offenses and more inclined to resist arrest.

My problem with your solution or form of protest is it's not the right venue and it only seeks devisiveness.

If you shared your outrage and protested for all of the races taking a beating from a militarized police and lost the devisive name "Black Lives Matter," and protested all lives who have been lost under a state police and actually focused on the war on drugs, I would think you would have much more support from the middle class community.

But you can't see that and you obviously are not honest enough to say that the black culture needs an overhaul. A complete and total overhaul. The number one indicator of poverty is a broken single parent home.

The war on drugs would do wonders for this; and so would the welfare plantation the blacks continue to vote into office. That isn't going to change and your movement resembles an Alinskey tactic only meant to be devisive to split the country.

Until you, at least, recognize that; then there will be no serious discussion about the possible rise of blacks in this country.
