“Pigs In A Blanket, Fry 'Em Like Bacon!” – Chant at a #Blacklivesmatter protest in Minnesota
“What do we want? Dead cops! When do we want it? Now!” – Chant by "Million Marchers" in New York City
The whole Black Lives Matter Movement is pure crap designed to help liberals get their names out there and to increase black turnout in elections for the Democratic Party.
It’s a movement funded by liberal white Americans like the Ben and Jerry’s Foundation and supported primarily by privileged black liberals that does nothing but produce a bigger body count.
For whatever reason, black Americans have always had a more hostile relationship with the police than other groups. Maybe that comes from the bad old days of the civil rights movement when the police weren’t always fair to black Americans. Maybe it comes from the sky high crime rate in black America which insures that percentage wise, more black Americans profit from criminal activities or know people involved in regularly breaking the law than people from other races. Perhaps it’s just a “Which came first, the chicken or the egg?” problem? Did police hostility cause black Americans to become more distrusting of law enforcement or did hostility by black Americans cause the police to become more distrustful? If that hostility and distrust ceased on one side, would it disappear on the other side, too? Whatever the reason for it, it exists and the Black Lives Matter movement has greatly exacerbated it for its own purposes.
The sad reality is that the police have to do a dirty, dangerous, unpleasant job that sometimes involves killing other human beings to protect themselves or others. There will NEVER be a time when mistakes aren’t made. So, if the goal is supposed to be to stop the police from ever making a mistake, it’s pie in the sky.
Moreover, the overwhelming majority of police shootings are justified and those that aren’t are USUALLY punished in a court of law. There are undoubtedly cases where guilty police officers skate in court for their crimes, but as Nicole Simpson could tell you if she were still alive, murderers don’t always get convicted in America.
Because this really isn’t a huge problem for black Americans, the #blacklivesmatter scumbags have taken ambiguous cases and elevated them to practically legendary status.
Take the death of Eric Garner. The cops were trying to arrest him for illegally selling cigarettes. The cops weren’t the ones who decided that should be illegal, but it’s their job to enforce the law. Garner resisted arrest, the cops used an appropriate amount of force subduing him and he died because of underlying health issues (“acute and chronic bronchial asthma, obesity, and heart disease.”)
You may think Eric Garner was choked to death because it takes lies like that for #Blacklivesmatter to justify its existence.However, it’s not true. In fact, the person most responsible for Eric Garner dying is Eric Garner. He was doing something in public that he knew would lead to an arrest if he was caught. Then he resisted arrest despite the fact that he knew he was in poor health and that being put down on the pavement could be particularly dangerous for him. It’s genuinely sad that such a small infraction led to a series of events that caused Eric Garner’s death, but it was his own fault.
Then there’s Mike Brown. If you believe #Blacklivesmatter, he was a gentle giant who was innocently strolling home and then was needlessly shot to death by an officer while his hands were up. Except none of that is true. Brown had just robbed a convenience store and was killed by an officer he was attacking in an attempt to take his gun.
Yet, what do we hear? “Hands up, don’t shoot!” “That could be my son!” “What if I’m next?” It’s all garbage – well, unless you’re a criminal who’s resisting arrest or more likely, trying to kill an officer. There are actual statistics on this that show how silly this whole hysteria has become.
In 2015, 990 people in the United States were killed by police officers. Of those 990 shootings, 730 of them happened while an attack was in progress. The majority of them were black, right? Wrong. 494 were white and 254 were black. Just to put those numbers in perspective, there were 468 murders in CHICAGO alone in 2015.
Put another way, not only are black men far more likely to be shot by other black men than police officers, there’s a better chance that a black American who obeys a cop’s instructions will be struck by lightning than there is that he will be shot by a police officer.
Does that mean the police never make mistakes? Nope, they do. Does it mean that bad or careless cops who kill someone without good reason should be able to avoid justice? Nope. Does it even mean that there isn’t anything that the police can be doing better? Nope. I’m a big proponent of more police officers using body cameras and many police departments need better training when it comes to dealing with the mentally ill.
When #Blacklivesmatter sleazeballs preach so much hatred against the police that we have snipers shooting the cops in Dallas and people applauding that on Twitter, they’re getting people killed.
When the #blacklivesmatter scumbags get a community so hyped up to hate the police that it makes it impossible for the police to do their jobs, it almost forces the cops to pull back. This leads to huge increases in criminal activity which gets people killed.
When the #blacklivesmatter dirtbags convince black Americans that the police are all racists and any encounter with them could be fatal, it makes people extremely nervous, fearful and edgy. Nervous, fearful and edgy people may do extremely stupid things – like resisting arrest, refusing to listen to the cops or going for a weapon when all they need to do is keep calm and let the cops do their work. This gets people killed.
It’s great that a white guy pretending to be black like Shaun King got a NY Daily News column out of this, that some of the #blacklivesmatter idiots are getting the attention they crave and the Democrats are getting a few more votes from black Americans, but how many more Americans have to die for it?
“The media is the modern lynch mob. They are the ones shouting fire in a crowded theater.”
That’s exactly right, and we need to figure a way around them. Twitter, Facebook have also been censoring “conservative” news items. These sites have been exacerbating tensions and have been spreading false narratives and promoting downright hate.
Leftist professors have been distorting history and indoctrinating students successfully for years. Disagree and receive a bad grade. Complaints fall on deaf ears due to tenure and sympathetic administrators.
Young people don’t get their news from the nightly broadcasts. The little information they get regarding current events comes in the form of a tweet, Facebook post and memes.
“This writing is useless except as preaching to a flock that already believes. It doesn’t actually engage.”
The conservative media is, almost all the time, a massive echo chamber.
BLM is now a paying organization, with funding. So, they continue to exist. Their cause is their paycheck.
I hold the media, Hussien and the rest of the liberal nutbags responsible for this....but mostly the media.
Funny how the media couldn't seem to find their cameras when over a million patriotic Tea Partyers marched on DC, but when 15 or more BLM protesters gather the media is right there cameras rolling. One day, the media will get what's coming to them.
In the year 2525.
I volunteer to put the noose over their head.
Haha! You very funny man!
All white people have to die, apparently.
Great post. Thanks.
DEFUND socialist/totaltiarian collectives, foreign and domestic. DISMANTLE/DESTROY (as necessary).
It's easy to…
live - free - republic
Yeah blm is a domestic terror group not unlike all the others in the Mideast and SA. But you will never see the splc or whatever they are called say a word about them. The splc is the watchdog for the liberal leftist marxists. They only denigrate conservative minded people who believe in the Constitution.
Exactly! We need to do away with all race groups. The Black Caucus needs to realize that there is no true black in nature. I learned that from an art instructor. All true black is man-made, as in paint, cloth, etc. All humans, except albinos, are different shades of brown. Enough with the nonexistent blacks already!
There are NO black humans. Some folks need to get over themselves.
There’s going to be a race war? Too bad. Obama knows who has the guns. Private citizens, hunters, truck drivers all have guns. In the case of the truck drivers, we have a rolling army. Obama knows that casualties will be the unarmed, and he wants them dead. Obama gave demonstrators free phones so that they would gather and get mowed down. Obama is leading his followers to the slaughter.
Not many, just all the white ones, cops first. /sarc
I have said from day 1, BLM are equal to the KKK! The dems created the KKK and this is also their creation, look at history. They know full well what they are doing. Call their racist actions out, why does America continue to let the Democrats get by with this crap?!
They have already done that in some respects. Bullet resistant vests are only certified for five years and are very expensive, a big line item on the budget. The Fed knows this and offers every year to pay for them.
They have literally thousands of grants (translation: other taxpayers money) to spend on municipal governments.
They mandate that municipal governments have all their employees,particularly first responders take classes in National Incident Management and if you don’t, you better not have an emergency, cause FEMA will tell you too bad, so sad.
Uniform Crime Reports are supposed to be voluntary. Not really though, because if you don’t report, you and your state get no grant money.
The Obammy’s 21st Century Policing is going to be mandatory one day to get grants as well.
I have told my chief that one day an agent of the Federal Government will walk in his office and offer to fund his entire budget in exchange for federalizing his whole department under Title 18 and Title 21.
Listen to the words of those in BLACK LIVES MATTER. It is obviously a hate group advocating violence. BLM needs to be taken into court and made poor through fines that can be imposed for advocating violence. Do not take the side of any hate group.
The black leader Marcus Garvey created the most successful “Back to Africa” movement in the US. This even went so far as to propose an entire shipping line, “The Black Star Line”, to transport black Americans for repatriation to Africa.
However, times have changed so that a modern version of this is actually feasible. How would it happen?
First of all, the US would purchase a 100-year lease of a large unpopulated expanse of an African country. Then using state of the art city design, build a modern city with good infrastructure, including an airport capable of jumbo jets.
Half the city would be for “parolees” in US prisons, given their liberty on condition of permanent emigration, excluding particularly nasty criminals facing life or death sentences.
The other half would be for black Americans seeking a new start outside of repressive America.
The up front expense of this would be several billion dollars, as well as years of subsidies for food, fuel and other resources. And it must be a desirable enough destination for black Americans to want to go there permanently. Thus they would have dual citizenship for a time before becoming citizens of their host country.
The city itself would be surrounded by a large fence and wall, so to interact with Africans, the Americans would have to leave the city for a time.
Just like the TSA was federalized and what an improvement that was. /s
The left is banking on Hillary and the MSM to turn white self guilt into votes. They are calling this a rehash of the 60’s. At least in the 60’s we weren’t afraid to defend ourselves.
Africans are unfit to be a part of a modern society which success is dependant upon qualities they lack. Maybe in a mud hut village killing, raping, and robbing other groups is beneficial. Maybe that was true in the stone age. We need to separate. Blacks need their own area, where they can institute a legal system that reflects their morality and biology. What is perfectly normal to them is repugnant and horrible behavior to more civilized races. In a way that’s what BLM is agitating for, whether they realize it or not. Their own legal and moral standards. I am fine with that except I wish to take it a step further, complete and total separation of the races, either with segregation or outright repatriation to the African country of their choice with a small stipend to help get them through the journey home. Just like that, no more oppression at the hands of whitey. They will be flying around in futuristic spaceship cars and building pyramids with their telekinesis again in no time.
