Black Lives Matter

I do try

Hence #AllLivesMatter

When do they become a hate group? when they are clearly full of radical black nationalists, who call for killing of whites and cops...

Is that not enough for you lot?

They have it here too in Britain. We shouldn't tolerate them, unlike America we don't have real free speech so ban that group and its stupid supporters who can't think rationally.

They act on pure emotion and suffer from a serious victimhood complex. They make it out like you can't walk down streets without being killed by cops LOL

They're hysterical. Not shocking that so many students on here support them young people are so stupid.

Well you dont really choose your religion, you do to an extent and i do believe that there is a discussion to be had on the dangers of religion to society i just dont believe that that discussion should be specific to islam. The difference is that the police force is an organisation, if i were to say that all americxans are responsible for the actions of the police that would be similar to saying all muslims are responsible for isis. Put it like this... Everyone who joins isis is responsivble for what isis does yeah? So therefore eceryone who joins the police force is responsible for what the police do.

That's the most idiotic thing I've ever heard. A policeman in Wichita is responsible for the actions of a policeman in Dayton? Like I said people join ISIS for one reason so when they do something all members are responsible but people join the police for a number of reasons

You see I don't get why people say this. Yes technically speaking all lives do matter but this is a campaign to tackle the prejudice and discrimination black people uniquely face, the issues a black man faces are different to that of a rich or normal white American man faces, the latter being able to uphold his basic human rights.

I'm not active at all in the BLM campaign, it's too complicated and complex for me although I see its validity and the necessity for it to gain attention. What you've done Is like having a person say "gay lives matter" in a campaign to legalise homosexuality then replying all lives matter… yes that's true but a straight guy isn't being killed because he can't control his feelings, you've just basically told him "shut up you're not the only one with problems you don't deserve a voice, #AllLivesMatter even though I don't know the purpose behind this campaign" . We're all different and face unique issues which other groups in society do not.

I find it absolutely appalling you diminish the values of this campaign by counter attacking it with an invalid bid of 'all lives matter' which is just an attempt to prove the value of their rights is not significant. If you believe all lives matter then fight the inequality black people face.

I think that the movement would be better titled "black lives matter too." When "black lives matter" is mentioned, people naturally ask, "well, shouldn't all lives matter?". Whereas if you say that black lives matter too, you are implying that other lives do matter, and are stating that black lives should also matter too.

People join isis for a number of reasons... And saying the police force is responsible for something isnt to say that they are individually accountable for each others acvtions, its saying that the people in charge of the police force right now should be thinking about what they can do to change the attitude that a significant number of police offocers seem to hold at the moment.

People join ISIS because they have been radicalised. There are lots of reasons as to why people are radicalised.

Significant by what measurement? Relatively speaking it's an incredibly insignificant number

good stuff mane, I juss hope we never get events in like what happens in the US where innocent black people are killed

The Black Lives Matter Movement in the U.S. is built upon a level of indignation that is only partially justified. Police do sometimes abuse their power, and the victims are often people of color. There is no doubt that race plays a role. I would argue that the greater contributor is poverty. The social reality is that more black people live in poverty and the contentious areas for police are often predominately black neighborhoods.

Police officers come into these areas and are confronted with both, criminal behavior from some and a hostile attitude from most. Police officers are black, white, hispanic, and all other races. They are also working class dudes. The average level of education is marginal and the pay is low. The community know exactly what police can and can't legally do, and that can be exploited.

Imagine yourself in their average shoes. They are probably male, and somewhat athletic. Considerable pride is a motivation. Wearing a uniform, having authority, and getting respect are a large reason for choosing the job. However, they really do want to fight crime and be a hero. Instead they find themselves day in and day out dealing with criminals and underclasses who know exactly how to provoke them and get away with it. The delusion is shattered, and they realize the few will get a legitimate chance for glory. Instead they are a glorified doormat.

I would never be a police officer, because I don't have the temperament for it. I would have the best of intentions but I would eventually retaliate when provoked by people whose behavior deserved my contempt. I would throw them down harder than necessary, I would put the cuffs on too tight, I might bump their head when putting them in the van, and I might even hit the brakes real hard to give them a "rough ride". I would never be capable of cold blooded murder, and neither are almost every police officer. There have been exceptions and those cops deserve to rot in prison for the rest of their lives.

A well trained guard shouldn't bite someone just for teasing it. The owner will still be liable for it when it does. Don't expect me feel overly sympathetic for the victim though.

Well i dont know about you but if this many stories came up abou t people in an organisation i was in killing people, i would want to do something about it.

'This many' - like I said relatively speaking there aren't that many at all

It doesnt matter really, if it was anyone else they would have been investigated a long time ago.

That's because other than the military, no organisation has the authority to shoot people

The police dont really either, theyre supposed to only use their guns as a last resort. Not because someone was stealing cigarettes. They certainly arent allowed to kill someone after they have already been arrested as they have many times.

The police have never killed someone because they were "stealing cigarettes".

Thats what they said mike brown was doing
