Can they put the faces of 4-20 year old kids killed by the rioting mob

It needs to be renamed Ex-con lives matter! People who obey the law don't normally get into confrontations with police.

This isn't necessarily true. Cops think they are above the law and harass people on a daily basis for whatever reason they want. The age of cell phones has shown that. It has to get boring quite a bit being a cop. They will look for any reason to find someone suspicious.

You make a good point. Nonetheless, it's mostly the uncooperative people who get shot. I know that black people are taught to fear the police. They do go to jail more often than whites do. Of course the education factor is much lower for blacks and therefore this can lead to theft from lack of an income.

If the black people want to go to college for free then I'm down with that. It's not my job to lift them up but I'm happy to give them the education so that they can achieve success on their own. Feed a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you've fed him for a life time.

Black music is a horrible influence on young people. Raping and killing are common themes in their music. They need to stop using the N word if I do. Once again, I feel like they live by a double standard.

They can already go to college for free. There is financial aid.

One time I was sitting at home with my daughter watching Tv when I heard the doorbell ring. I looked through the window and saw this sketchy looking meth head outside. When I cracked the door and asked him what he wanted and he asked if he could use the phone. I told him no and went to close the door and he jammed his foot between the door and the door sill. I pushed on it got it closed called the cops and told them what happened. I described him as a white male, 6’, shoulder length hair wearing shorts and a wife beater.
About 10 min later I saw them pass my street so I went out to flag them down. I had just had surgery to repair my rotator cuff and labrum so I am jumping up and down waiving with one arm and my other in a sling. When they saw me they gunned it and would have absolutely run me over if I hadn’t jumped out of the way. They got out with their guns drawn and ordered me to get on the ground, jerked my arm out of my sling, cuffed me and threw me in the back of their car. It took about 10 minutes to explain to them that I was the one that called. They said that I fit the description yada, yada, yada. I’m 5’6”, short hair, pajama bottoms, short sleeve shirt and had my arm in a sling.
Turns out the dude sold drugs to an undercover officer in the neighborhood next to mine and made a run when they tried to arrest them.
I wound up having to get my shoulder repaired again because of it.
It happens to both whites and blacks.

Hell of a fallacy there.

We only see the bad things being posted and going viral. Consider that today 80% of departments have body cam requirements and the amount of ordinary people there are to capture everything on phones. Only the negative aspect of their job is broadcast and promoted, you can see the positive side if you look.

99.8% of cops just want to do their job, protect people and property and go home. However, the media and SJW will have you focus on the .2% for a reason. Don't be fooled. Law and order enforced by LEOs is the only thing holding this country back from being a 3rd world hellhole. We need more, not less police, and they need more not less funding to provide more, not less training.

The biggest issue with policing is they don't spend enough time training on deescalation, community policing and physical combat.

Yes. Because all cops are like that. All white people are racist and all black people are oppressed. All Asians are good with computers and/or know martial arts. And as for the Dallas Cowboys wanting to put the names of the five cops that were shot dead on their helmets? No way. Not on your life! NFL must be uniform and it can't change. You and those like you are the reason racism will persist. You don't think for yourself, but just follow what is deemed to be acceptable. Are there bad cops? Yes. Are there racist people? Absolutely. But here is the rub; people are allowed to be racist but are NOT entitled to use that against anyone to harm them or discriminate when it comes to employment.
Take this little piece of advice or don't, it matters little to me...
Try and think for yourself, do your research and don't accuse people of the very thing that you are doing, which is judging a group of people based on the actions of a few individuals.

That is in no way what was conveyed in my post. I'm not judging anyone. I am basing this off personal experience, history, and the age of technology. I had numerous run-ins with police in my younger days. I've changed a great deal in the last 20 years. I also have had 4 friends in my lifetime who were/are law enforcement. One eventually left and started his own business. He's told many stories over beers of things he's experienced. I don't need your advice. I'm well versed on the topic.

That's where I feel this movement is targeting. Those that haven't worked, but feel "entitled."
