Nationwide Protesters adopt slogan ‘Black Lives Matter’
Cray24 Political News ^ | March 10, 2015 | Jason Uduak

The phrase “Black Live Matter” has emerged as a movement.

A lawyer, Benjamin Crump the lawyer for the families of teens killed in police shootings responded to the Justice Department’s report surrounding the conditions which led to the death of Michael Brown. He stated with an interview on, Face the Nation that the Department of Justice cannot sanitize these shootings of unarmed colored people.

Representing the families of Trayvon Martin, Michel Brown and Tamir Rice; Crump does not agree with the report not bringing civil rights charges against the officers involved in these shootings. The report only brings the conditions of the Ferguson Police Department to light in their misappropriate handling of people of color. Crump says proving a shooter was race motivated is too high for a civil rights charge and that the bar for these charges needs to be lowered. He believes with the proof the report shows for racism apparent in the department has to mean that same racism spills into the individual officers.

Just days after the Justice Department’s report was released, Tony Robinson was shot and killed by an officer in Madison WI. Robinson’s death is being protested by dozens who shout, ‘Black Lives Matter’. There are other black suspects who have died at the hands of police officers that are prompting nationwide protests against racial policing.

Eric Garner died in July after being put in a choke hold by a New York police officer, Tamir Rice was fatally shot for pointing a pellet gun at a playground in Cleveland and Dontre Hamilton who was shot by an officer in Milwaukee later found to have acted in self-defense. These cases are some of the high profile incidents fueling the protests across the country demanding a change in civil rights charges.

In Madison protesters slogan is being adopted by activists and protesters nationwide. The protesters are peaceful and city’s chief of police says he understands their anger and assures them his department will defend their rights and asks the community to act with restraint.

"Nationwide Protesters adopt slogan ‘Black Lives Matter’"

Except for the unborn. For them it's just some anonymous landfill.

Between abortion and black on black crime, it is clear that by and large proponents of "black lives matter" are quite frankly, full of shit. And that they are using their position of POWER to get their way sounds racist to me, but what do I know?

Black lives only matter when they attack whites (or white hispanics) and are killed in self defense. Seems they don't give a rat's furry butt about black on black murder.

Until they do, I'll continue to ignore them.

#BlackLivesMatter...but not enough for you to raise them properly and not condemn their futures to the fate of a violent thug.

They are hollow words indeed; until those parading with these signs really show they themselves believe them, it means nothing.

Rules for Radicals #8#12

“Keep the pressure on. Never let up.” Keep trying new things to keep the opposition off balance. As the opposition masters one approach, hit them from the flank with something new. .. . “Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.” Cut off the support network and isolate the target from sympathy. Go after people and not institutions; people hurt faster than institutions

IF they were at all socially responsible, they would take a long collective look in the proverbial mirror.

Let us start the All Lives Matter movement, although it is probably racist

If they did, they’d put away drugs, fathers wouldn’t abandon their families, mommas would stop being baby factories, they’d stop whoring, pull up pants, speak proper English, learn to be productive good citizens, get weaned from the government teat, stop the hundreds of years of blaming others for their miserable failures, begin worshipping God again, go to school, stop murdering, etc. Nobody can do that except blacks themselves. Until then, it’s just another empty slogan to shake down the system for more money. Are we going to have to hear this stupid slogan for another few weeks? Months? Years? Or decades? I hope it fades as fast as the equally meaningless “Sock it to me” did. It’s just about as important as that phrase.
