Yes because there is major police violence towards blacks, so much we need to get rid of a police force, or at least "rebuild" it. Oh wait, what? The proportions don't add up when you have 2x the amount of whites being killed by cops even though blacks commit over 50% of crimes? But I don't see white people rioting and protesting. Black lives Matter has the WRONG motives and is going about it the COMPLETE wrong way. All this is, is a giant race baiting movement to accomplish a political agenda, but what wasn't counted on was the backlash from average americans. Race relations were amazing before BLM. I wish it weren't this bad right now, but BLM is to blame. Who else led to the rise of the black Panthers? And the rioters? And the much higher police death toll this year? The only group I see at the root, BLM. You can see this, right?

  • You know the Black Panthers have been around since the '60s right? Hell they were even in the Forrest Gump movie.

  • So 1 in how many years? Notice I said riot's'. Isolated cases happen, yes, but we're talking about multiple riots back to back. We had a full 13yrs of no race riots whatsoever except for a single one. That's a long stretch of time before BLM creates havoc and starts a new riot every month, it seems Reading comprehension goes a long way

    Do you know what a freaking riot is? Its burning shit down, attacking people, mass robbing. All of those were handled or didn't include that. Obviously you didn't read the articles either because all of those except Oscar's case were all protests and didn't involve anything we're seeing now. Read your links before you post, jesus. I'm not saying race relations were perfect either, I'm saying that this sort of prevalence and utter barbarism we're seeing now is unprecedented in modern times. And it is. You're proving it. You're finding disparate events happening over years that are non-violent or don't kill people which, as far as the definition of a riot goes, is a protest. You seriously even listed the Anaheim Unrest, too, and expected it to be taken as a real "riot"? Yeah, that's really a riot lol [quote]a noisy, violent public disorder caused by a group or crowd of persons, as by a crowd protesting against another group, a government policy, etc., in the streets.[/quote] vs [quote] an expression or declaration of objection, disapproval, or dissent, often in opposition to something a person is powerless to prevent or avoid[/quote] The difference between the early 2000's and now is violence and destruction. Read your own links.

  • You said that race relations were amazing before blm and the purpose of those links was to prove that race relations were not as you say "amazing"

  • No, I didn't. Point to where I said race relations were "great" or "amazing" or anything.
