A large group of people protesting a highly emotionally charged event on something they've probably dealt with their whole lives..... theres bound to be a bad bunch.
Get back to me when BLM follows the lead of EDL or KKK.

They've murdered a number of policeman already so there's that.

Huh? They were specifically demonstrating against UK victims. Did you read before commenting?
And clearly everyone here lacks basic comprehension skills as the article clearly says they demonstrate for people f ALL RACES - yup, white people too! - who are affected by police brutality.
The organisation protesting just happens to be BLM but theyre fighting for anyone affected.

Actually I did, why don't you engage your brain before responding.
They go back and forth but seem to primarily be latching onto the American side of things and the UK is a subthought.
Untrue.

Because it's all about image, those hanging around on their bikes, dressed in their tracksuits are usually up to no good. Like it or not they're trouble makers, maybe not to you but it's what they do. It ranges from drug use to vandalism, harassment, theft, etc. The image associates them with gang culture which is tied to all sorts of crimes.
They were also really expensive.
Yes, that's no excuse to vandalise things and be a hooligan, read a book and make something of your life instead of being a nobody, causing trouble then crying when the police suspect you of something, likely hood is if they did a back track with complete honesty in the past month they'd find at least one crime. My area has plenty of youth clubs, they just seem to get vandalised and taken for granted, eventually people get fed up and a Starbucks is the Better choice.

Youve made a massive assumption.
Theyre ALL troublemakers?????
Every single one of them?

Who says it is unreliable?
So are you denying all those murders happened then?

No but it wasnt the responsibility of BLM nor is their aim to commit violence. It was already proved to be a single man not the BLM protestors.

It wasn't a "single man". Another lie from you. They have been multiple perpatrators and they were supporters of BLM. One even went to the funeral of one of the criminals that BLM were moaning about.

Why does your OP contain links to ads and to articles which purport to be about police brutality in the UK but which are actually about about Zimbabwe?
How many deaths of ethnic minority people in police custody are there in the UK? Not many: about four a year on average. That includes those that die of natural causes and those that were already injured or ill when arrested.

Is it not possible to protest against something that happens in your own country even if it may also happen elsewhere? If theres a problem theres a problem.
And tell that to Sarah Reed, police officer who attacked her was found guilty.

There are supporters of religion who commit heinous crime. Supportors of celebrities and tv shows who commit crime in the name of the thing they say they love.
Fanatics and criminals will always latch on to causes and events and use that as motivation.
Doesnt mean the thing they associate with itself is bad.

But many (NOT ALL) BLM supporters have done horrible things in the name of black lives matter. Calling for police to be killed, calling for evil whitey to be killed. Looting, killings, holding up cars and planes, Being horribly racist.

No, it doesn't necessarily. But BLM is bad and based on lies and distortions of the truth.
In any case no one linked with the EDL has actually murdered anyone. Not even close to the 11 cops murdered by BLM people. In that sense the EDL is far better than BLM and I don't even like the EDL.

Well the 9 who held up planes at london city airport were all white so....
And its a large organisation so there may be many but thats not the majority and if you were to go to a BLM meeting or gathering, youd never hear them say "today lets kill some white people/disrupt lives/cause a riot" all they want is for law enforcers to start respecting their lives.
You heard nothing about this protest until this thread, why?
Because it was a peaceful trouble free event.
If there was any trouble you'd have known about it but there wasn't yet many many people attended this demonstration.

Wow. Completely racist view point there.
The EDL is completely built on racist standpoints and wanting to remove ethnic minorities from the country.
BLM is not.
Once again, BLM ultimately couldnt care less what white people choose to do in their lives.
They just want the lives of their own protected.
Makes me laugh because BLM is being portrayed as the equivalent of KKK, EDL and other racist groups but thats based purely on the existence of these groups.
If these groups didnt exist, BLM wouldnt be compared to them or wouldnt be seen as racist.
But unfortunately, we seem to only be only to understand BLM based on the models of pre existing white groups.
So because these white groups tend to be racist. We then in turn assume a black group is also racist.
Yet thats not what BLM was born out of. It was created to raise awareness for circumstances where blacks are poorly treated.
EDL exists under the guise of preserving english heritage yet they spend more time talking about other races and little time actually discussing english heritage.
They never support white people and their downfalls but if a black person had an issue they know BLM would be there to help.
EDL would be too busy yelling at muslims outside a mosque to do anything.

Will there actually be black people at this protest, or will it be the same, upper class white kids who blockaded Heathrow a few months back?
