I believe a lot of cops harm people because they have the power to do so but, I support the protest to a certain degree. I do not think all police or white people are bad. I don't agree with people that have been beating up innocent white, mexican, black, and other races because they don't support the BLM cause, they have every right not too. Its their own choice.
Please be respectful of others views and opinions.
I fully support the BLM movement along with defunding the police and reformation of the entire system. No one thinks that all police or white people are bad, that not what the moment is about, it is about equality for all Americans. ACAB means all cops are bastards, coming from the latin word bastardize meaning corrupt. Cops work for a bastardized system that benefits from the oppression of marginalized people. I do not think all cops are bad people, I they work for a system in need of reform. And no one agrees with those beating up people because they don't support the movement, obviously they should support the movement and they are racist if they don't, but physical harm will never change someones opinion so it is not the answer.
Completely defunding the entire PD groups in the United States is extreme and the country would completely lose control of the country. There are parts that do need to have tighter precautions in place for officers who abuse their power, but they are in the minority not the majority. These are men and women who should be given the same respect as veterans because they also put their lives on the line everyday to keep us safe. On the other hand, I have a hard time supporting the BLM movement. I have been called racist, cracker, white supremist, and that I should burn in hell by people apart of the movement who don't know me whatsoever and are judging me strictly off the color of my skin. Why are people blaming me for something my ancestors did 200 years ago or people I have no relations with whatsoever? Is that not what the movement is trying to prevent? You even said that I am racist because I don't agree with the movement. All lives matter, not just Black Lives. I am sorry the African American population has been oppressed and I would never try oppress any minority group and any way. It is time for the BLM movement to realize that All Lives Matter, not just the people apart of their movement.
@Lee Scott I never said I wanted to defund the entire PD, that would be crazy. We do however need serious reform as the people who pledged to protect our citizens are killing innocent people without consequence. If a few doctors were killing people, those doctors would be fired, so should police officers. A great example of this would be the case of Breonna Taylor. A woman who had her life taken from her by murderous cops who haven't even been charged for her murder yet. When something like that happens how could you not agree that that institution needs reform? Im also a white man and I have never been jugged for my skin color, I don't say that to discredit your situation, but just to point out that that is not a common thing. I do believe that you are racist if you don't support the BLM movement because what other reason would you have to be against a movement for equality than not wanting equality. You are currently contributing to the racism in this country, it is not just your ancestors, you said yourself you do not support BLM, blaming your ancestors for your racism is a coward move. Obviously all lives matter, but not all lives are in jeopardy right now, black lives are, and that is what the movement is trying to stop. You say you would never try to oppress a minority group but you are actively doing so right now but not supporting the movement for racial equality. We realize that all lives matter, and that is why we believe that black lives should be included in the statement all lives matter, because right now, to our country, they do not.
@Lule Flatt There are parts of this argument that we can agree and compromise on, but the personal attacks are not cool. I did say that there needs to be reform and there needs to be stricter policies and punishment for officers who act out of line. I never even had direct ancestors from the south during the time of slavery. My most of my family came from Europe in the early 20th century with a small part being Native Americans (Also a group discriminated against and still is). You have no right to call me a racist and coward without knowing me as an individual. That is exactly why I will not join a racist and corrupt movement. If you have to put a color in front of All Lives Matter than you are a racist.
BLM is not a movement but a corrupt organization polar opposite to civil rights. It is a tool for the globalist to take full control. These street thugs, and many are convicted criminals, are control pawns that have no idea that part of the plan is for their demise.

How can you even stART to think that BLM is a 'corrupt organization polar opposite to civil rights' when it is just a reaction and movement in response to the unlawful killing of black people, that tries to highlight the injustices committed by and toxic, control-hungry, violent community that makes up the US police force. The people at these protests are just normal people who want to combat institutional racism, I'm sure some people have criminal records, A) many protesters are targeted by police with bogus, unconstitutional charges B) Some people have criminal records, these can be minor or large, but whatever it is it doesn't not invalidate their opinion?
@Mimi Brown
Pro-BLM, don't see how you can't be. If you aren't you are racist full stop. If you are Anti-BLM, you are pro-racism If you are neutral on the subject, you aid the oppressor, therefore might as well be the oppressor, therefore are the oppressor, therefor if you are neutral you are racist.
@Mimi Brown You are an unlettered person and don’t understand anything about racism. Get yourself a book written by Bob Woodson , a well known educated Civil Rights Leader who even today goes into underprivileged communities to start programs to help them . This man as well as many historic Civil Rights Leaders Denounce BLM. They say BLM is not a movement to help Black People but a corrupt organization getting paid to cause destruction, chaos and murder by a Left Wing Communist Billion George Soros.
Educate yourself about how BLM is causing racial division and not at all helping hard working Black families. They literally are destroying Black owned businesses and communities. If you support BLM you either are a thug or a person that can’t think for themselves, understanding right from wrong.

@condr78 how is it a corrupt organization when they are just trying to fight for their basic human rights, many people that are different races have come together to protest because someones ability to live should never be questioned tbh ur the one who needs to educate urself
@Mimi Brown no u
no u
i fully support the blm movement and i think alot of alm supporters dont understand that we arent saying all lives dont matter they do but they cant until BLACK LIVES MATTER. if u dont support it ur racist. yes i also believe in acab and i know not all cops are bad but they choose to continue to work in a corrupt racist system and with all the protests and the way they treated and harmed people there for fighting for basic human rights is sickening. if u justify the deaths of george floyd or breonna there is something wrong w u because what the cops did should NOT be justified in any circumstance. since when did cops become judge jury n executioner right there.
I am not for or against blm. But I do think you saying that if you do not support it then you are a bad person. There are many good people who are neutral in the matter that are good people. You saying good or bad is your opinion. you are just being a monothinker when you say that.
