What do you think of the Black Lives Matter movement?

I couldn't disagree more. There are certain people who support the movement that also support the killing of cops, however most of the people involved in the BLM(from my personal experience) just want the equal treatment of Black people in America. BLM is not a terrorist organization. For example, the man who was killed for shooting those officers in Dallas clearly stated that he was NOT a part of BLM and did what he did for his own reasons. But this is just my opinion.

I think it started as a peaceful organization. But now terrorist are useing it to be violent toward their intended targets.

ALL LIVES MATTER.
PERIOD
END OF STATEMENT
NOTHING you say can trump this. NOT ONE single life is more important than any other life.

In two simple words

LIVES MATTER

I would have more respect for them if they addressed the true killer of young black men. Other young black men.

This is about as loaded a question that was "answered" the minute it was posted. Ok SPC answer these UNloaded questions:
1. Who is the recognized leader of the BLM? No ASSumptions, I want a name(S).
2. Where is their national recognized headquarters? They have to be somewhere
3. Name or post a video of a CONFIRMED member of the BLM advocating for violence.
4. What did they DO and then call the cops on?
5. What definition of terrorist organization are you using. Every agency has their own, so which one?
6. Post where they called the police and directly asked them to "protect" them?
7. The shooting in Dallas....WHO was responsible, and WHO was he affiliated with?
8. How is it that a legislator can tweet a threat to a sitting President and no one bats an eye....any minority tweets harm to a cop or is stupid enough to make a video of it, he gets arrested?
9. In the cases of the cops who were shooting these unarmed individuals, neither were going to or trying to harm the arresting officers. The last one clearly shows the cop scream "gun" while the man was STILL pinned under the car, and was shot to death. So if a cop has me pinned under a car, not one but TWO cops are holding me there, there is NO WAY without either cop releasing me I could even come close to grabbing a weapon, but they yell "gun" my life is over. That's justice for you? That's acceptable to you?
I reckon you get around your buddies and said "another nigga gone thank goodness". "We should've sent their asses back to Africa when we had the chance". "That Beyonce bitch, needs to have her mouth broken for speaking"... up against an injustice that plays ok on one side, and makes you instantly guilty on the other?

I am 74 inches tall. I weigh 320lbs. I can bench and squat my body weight with no problems. I've served my country proudly. How many cops have you come across that told you they will not fight or argue with you, they will shoot you straight up? I've had NO LESS that 15 tell me that. How does that make you feel, knowing that the rules of force will be violated just off size and looks? To be fair to those cops, some of them I knew personally and they explained why they said it, and there were/are no hard feelings between us. They explained why, with facts not arrogant bias, and I talk to a few on the regular. But there have been a few who were dead serious. Is that ok to you?

See this whole post was a chickenshit means of not having a productive conversation about what something is in fact, but a means for you to spew out some BS that was even clarified by the local PD Chief. But maybe as a SPC you know more about investigations and tactics that that cop who's served 30 years on the force.
"Officials said they had found no evidence that the gunman, Micah Johnson, 25, had direct ties to any protest or political group, either peaceful or violent, but his Facebook page showed that he supported the New Black Panther Party, a group that has advocated violence against whites, and Jews in particular". I didn't see BLM mentioned AT ALL in there. Did you? I will list where I got this from so you can read it yourself.
"During the standoff, Mr. Johnson, who was black, told police negotiators that “he was upset about Black Lives Matter,” Chief Brown said....ok Mr. Superinvestigator, if he was in anyway affiliated with BLM what he told the Chief was the exact opposite of what was mentioned by you. Who's wrong? The man talking to the suspect or you?

BLM is a terrorist organization? Did they capture or take prisoner anyone in the US? Did they actively engage in ANY governmental coups?
http://fortune.com/2016/07/08/black-lives-matter-speaks-out-against-dallas-shooting/ maybe you can scroll to the part where they said they were AGAINST the shootings.
"Prior to the shooting, the protest on the streets of Dallas was peaceful and controlled. It was led by protesters who spoke out against the police killings of Alton Sterling and Philando Castile. The deaths of these black men, which happened on consecutive days, catalyzed outrage and prompted protests in cities across the country. However, just because the movement aims to end police violence against black lives does NOT mean it encourages violence against police by black people. Black Lives Matter has never, ever insinuated that other lives don’t. And dismissing the movement’s real agenda ignores the torment and terror protesters faced Thursday night, too"

Chicago police detained more than 7,000 people at secret interrogation center: This was done without giving the arrestees their Miranda rights, access to a lawyer, or the families of those arrested a chance to meet with their loved ones. This would be paramount to kidnapping, denial of due process, illegal detention, but that is only done by BLM and terrorist orgs right?

If the "moderate Imams" don't stand up and denounce the practice of terrorism, they are complicit in it although silently, That came off an RP member. Now how many cops are there on the force in the US? Using this analogy, EVERY SINGLE PO would be equal to a terrorist and their goal would be to "rid America of "non Americans" through the use of a badge and gun". Hold up I found a cop who IS currently serving AND spoke out against the injustices some cops can dish, but are unwilling to acknowledge happening

A cop violated the trust of the people he was "trusted" to police buy raping them. Do you know what a woman goes through mentally after being raped? The actual deed of raping was the "easy" part, getting her treatment, and to accept she did no wrong for the rest of her life is the HARD part, and some never make it. This cop singled out black women thinking no one would ever believe them over him

If you want I can keep going with this, to prove that not only did BLM have nothing to do with this, you're just as bad as the people you are condemning. A badge and a weapon does not make your life ANY better than mine, give you the right to hide behind your badge and do harm to me then use catch phrases to get out of trouble. I made my argument with references and quotes. Try answering the first questions, then counter my listed sources. Also if there wasn't a shred of truth to this and it wasn't a "black" thing, look at the makeup of the crowd.....if BLM is that bad, why is it that there are a substantial number of NON-Blacks marching in solidarity?

Hi,

You seem reasonable and level headed. I hardly voice my opinion on social media but when I do, I take it amongst my fellow brothers and sisters in arm to discuss the elephant in the room. Clearly, some of the problems at hand are about some race issues and a lack of trust by the black community. I wasn't even born into the U.S. I came from Africa as a refugee but I witnessed that distrust first hand. Why is it becoming taboo to discuss our differences? Some argue that because then we must promote unity/similarly (i.e. Equality) but whenever inequalities resurface, then it is taboo to address those inequalities. Even Martin Luther King Jr. would have been viewed a "thug" considering his arrests, mugshots and incarcerations. On another hand, we all know he had followers who split from his nonviolent ideology to violence. That is what I believe (if I'm not mistaken) is what SSG Stephan Pendarvis meant that BLM started out as a peaceful organization. We all have heard the talking points and sound bites of how "All Lives Matter" and the rebuttals and line of reasoning for why insisting on "Black Lives Matter". We as Americans celebrate our individuality just as much as we do our commonality. I already know how much heat I am about to get for posing the next question but pardon me if I feel that something is broken here. Why is it so hard for some white people to understand that black people have been holding on to their dear inalienable rights for far too long?

SSG(P) (Join to see) Nonsense, you have no idea what constitutes a terrorist organization. Get educated. BLM isn't even an organization it's a slogan. Educate yourself before you make such an uniformed post.

It's kind of like Islam. Some are just along for the sense of belonging. Some are in it for what they can get. And some are just looking for an excuse to party. Then there are the few sociopaths who hide in the crowd to cover their crimes
