What do you think of the Black Lives Matter movement?

18 U.S. Code § 2331
the term “domestic terrorism” means activities that—
(A) involve acts dangerous to human life that are a violation of the criminal laws of the United States or of any State;
(B) appear to be intended—
(i) to intimidate or coerce a civilian population;
(ii) to influence the policy of a government by intimidation or coercion; or
(iii) to affect the conduct of a government by mass destruction, assassination, or kidnapping; and
(C) occur primarily within the territorial jurisdiction of the United States.

As used in this title, the term “organization” means a person other than an individual.

If they really cared about black lives and stood behind the name of their group, then why don't they take a stand on all the black against black shootings in Chicago and other cities?

i have seen all the blm rallies on internet and the news in my own community, if the kkk or the neo nazis did this all hell would break out, the blm states the same as the others except it s white, so whats the difference, blm is no different than the klan, wake up and smell the roses, blame the cops and whitey because they dont have an easy life, my brothers at work black tell me what i already know these young people not willing to work, and doing harm to others are is what is giving blacks a bad name, step the fuck up and support your familly, make the difference, life isnt easy you need to put in, get the education, get the skills

Black Lives Matter? White Lives Matter? Yellow Lives Matter? Red Lives Matter? Any Color Lives Matter? What do all these statements have in common? All these statements are racist. I can’t respect any organization or group that says “their color” matters more that another’s; and that’s what people are doing here when they infer their color matters more than another’s. That’s what’s happening with these people.

When there has been death and so much misinformation, complete with people beating drums, I needed to think about this a bit (actually a lot). All the information I’ve seen in these conservations is good, honest and from the heart; that’s what I love about RP. I can’t say I agree with most of it, but on a level I can see where people are coming from.

SSG Stephan Pendarvis nailed it 100% when he basically said this organization is going to get highjacked by every nut case out there.

Come on… we all know current events. I am just guessing, but a good 90% of what these people are protesting for were based on lies, and events that just didn’t happen the way media portrayed them. The race baiters won.

What is even worse is our President stood up and took sides in public before all the facts were in: If I had a son… the police acted stupidly…I could go on but I won’t, we heard it all with our own ears; I don’t need anything else.

How long can a country go on listening to passive aggressive statements being made by their leader before people start to act? I would say about seven and a half years. We’re starting to see people act, and in my opinion it’s exactly because of this kind of language from our leaders. These people are hurting, mostly from their own, and our own leaders are using political scapegoats to further their own agendas; and if you think the politician’s agendas are yours also, look again. Look at the numbers and policies over the years that were supposed to takes us away from this situation (and I’m talking back from the 60’s to present day). The person you think may be your friend may be your enemy.

All I can say is look at “everything” honestly. The truth will set you free.

If I had my way, there would be no duch thing as any type of "________ Lives Matter" movements. Black, Blue, All... it doesn't matter how you look at it, none of them are a step in the right direction. I disagree that BLM is a terrorist organization. However, I don't think it helps anything, and there are those out there that use the name of the movement to commit horrible acts. And as a law enforcement orofessional, I think even less of Blue Lives Matter. The absolute wrong answer to BLM was Blue LM. Its dividing and draws a line in the sand. And lastly, if society has one common sense bone it its body, it would understand that ALM is a given, and is therefore stating the obvious. We should all be on that team from the start.

What people need to understand is:
1. There is no conspiracy where white police officers are attempting to kill black people for no reason. That is ludacris.
2. The situation in Dallas should be reason number one that BLM is pointless. Officers of all colors and creeds placed themselves between protesters and the shooter, without initially realizing that police were the targets. That is how the profession works, and it is an extremely sobering fact to consider.

Stop the madness, people.

"No one who claims to speak for the Black Lives Matter movement has promoted violence as a means to achieve an end. The message the movement spreads has nothing to do with inflicting violence or pain against police officers — or anyone else, for that matter. It is simply a call to end the police brutality and misconduct that disproportionately take a toll on black bodies" Someone show me where this is wrong. No I do not need to see some TV pundits opinion of what they are, prove that one said it. The whole cops are pigs thing? Please.....so when a minority says it, it must be real, but being that whole kill a pig thing has been said by multiple confirmed "orgs" that just so happen to have less melanin in the skin, we'll leave them alone and focus on what we "think" someone from BLM said.

At Cliven Bundys ranch he called on people to come to his land and defend his right to break the law. So you keep breaking the law, until they've finally had enough of your BS and come to collect. Now you have shooters in "sniper" positions to take out LEO's who were sent to do a job. I wonder how many are going to say that BLM was not authorized to have a police force, had no right to take his cattle, and he is a hero. Hell it worked the first time, lets go to Oregon take over a cause that had noting to do with them, and even the families involved distanced themselves from them, but they are patriots right? So in Dallas there is a man in a "sniper" position shooting at cops being he was upset over the treatment Blacks were given at the hands of police. Someone tell me there isn't a weird parallel between the two. BLM rather than get into an engagement with them pulled back. When they tried again in OR, the old man was shot and people actually had the nerve to blame the cops. So you want your cake and eat it too? That old man had a weapon on him, tried to draw it, and was put down. But it's the cops fault, NOT the old man who got what he had coming? Hypocritical much?

Oath Keepers " We will NOT obey any orders which infringe on the right of the people to free speech, to peaceably assemble, and to petition their government for a redress of grievances". A protest is a fundamental right of any citizen given by the Constitution. They came to Ferguson, and they were asked, why are you here, and that was the line given. Who are you protecting? This is interesting. No answer, and most were with the local PD. So this group is allowed to show up and pick and choose who they align with, but if the common citizen does that, you'll be looking at bars for awhile. Hell they had better toys than the cops or the citizens had. Naw they can't be a "bad" org, there are cops, military, LEO's other first responders in this, so they have to be legit. So a troop cannot be a member of the Klan, Bloods, Crips, or any other questionable group, but the Oath Keepers are ok?

"The Three Percenter’s Club exists to serve the American people, to protect and defend the constitution and our way of life. 

TTPC's mission is give our members the capabilities and resources necessary to execute Military Strategies to defend against foreign and domestic enemies. 

TTPC forces provide the capability to combat any threat, force, or occupation who's purpose is to gain, sustain, and exploit comprehensive control over land, resources, and the people of the United States of America. 

The Three Percenter’s Club's capability compliments the other militias and resistance groups capabilities. 

The Three Percenter’s Club is charged with providing Tactical, Logistical and other functions to enable other Militias and Resistance groups to accomplish their missions and to provide support during local and national emergencies by assisting civil authorities in maintaining emergency preparedness. 

The Three Percenter’s Club is organized to accomplish this mission." This is damn near the exact same thing the Black Panthers did in their time. Where are the OG black panthers at now? I've seen SM's on here talking about being members of this org. If you can't join the others, it's ok to join this one? "Those with felony convictions are welcome in the Three Percenters, who work closely with the Oath Keepers. There appears to be substantial membership overlap and their most prominent members appear in public together; for example, Vanderboegh and Oath Keepers President and Founder Stewart Rhodes both spoke at a 2015 Salem, Oregon rally against a law requiring registration of gun sales between private individuals. This arrangement with the Three Percenters may afford the Oath Keepers a measure of insulation from public scrutiny of actions by Three Percenters. - See more at: http://www.politicalresearch.org/2016/01/05/profiles-on-the-right-three-percenters/#sthash.HosmsONL.dpuf

So for all intents and purposes, if you join the "right" org, you're good to go. If you defy the government at the "right" time you're a true patriot. If you want to be a ass and bring out people who are going to shoot cops you're good. If the cop tells you to drop the weapon and you get shot, it's the cops fault? If I join or support BLM, or any offshoot from it, I am a criminal and can be subjected to the law or if I was AD, busted down to where Moses cannot give me a stripe, and that is right.

It is a terrorist organization based upon racism and lies, IMHO.

If Black lives matter so much, why do they not clean up the mess that other blacks make? Crap a black person stands a much better chance of being killed by a black than a cop. Of course recognizing that fact limits the chance to riot and get that big screen T.V.. Oh and they miss a chance to blame Whitey.

Black lives matters movement are Obama foot soldiers, and they do indeed incite violence, and as far as i'm concerned, there is nothing innocent, or peaceful about what they are doing.

I think it just gives some folks a reason to act out- tearing up their own town and cities and for what. The fact is, the first time something goes wrong, those same folks will be on the phone call the Police. its just a fact.
