A vast majority of protesters are indeed angry/sad but they are mostly nonviolence. Do you think the family of any of these victims truly want riots and disorder? NO. The only people painting black people as savages are white racists and the media -And how convenient that they cover the riot(s) more than they covered the unjust deaths of THREE black males all because a super-celebrity couple who truly do not affect the vast majority of Americans lives in any real way filed for divorce! And frankly black people have nothing to lose in a society that always treat us like we're the lowest form of subhumans.
And don't act like BLM haven't gotten anything done. We are now more than ever engaged in a conversation about Police Brutality and systemic racism. More people are willing to learn about and maybe even entertain the issue. Police are leaning toward greater transpercy (don't believe for a second that we would know about the video for Terrence Crutcher if it wasn't for BLM movement.) There was real pressure to not hide anything at all. That is change. It's a small one sure but it shows that people are shifting.

Correct. And that does get attached to BLM and further brings even more negative attention that leaves a stigma to it.
I don't think BLM has gotten anything done to be quite honest. Police brutality and systemic racism is STILL very much prevalent. The reason for that is because there is lack of education on these topics. People would rather destroy businesses, ambush people, and riot in the streets as opposed to holding rallies to EDUCATE. Key word: EDUCATE.
Get it?

Oh.
Of course you're just going to sweep what I said under the rug as usual.
That's your "go to" I'm assuming.
Let me ask a question. So when a black police officer shot and killed another black guy, why was a white guy ambushed in a garage and stripped naked?
Oh and I forgot to add: A 26 year old protestor was shot and killed AT A PROTEST. Stories are varying but I will wait to see which one is true. How the hell does a protestor shot at by another protestor (allegedly) when taking a stand against police brutality?
Please explain.
