The way I see it all lives matter was created as a way to take down black lives matter. Most white people don't see it that way and I had the same mind set. I didn't see it as a discredit of black lives matter till someone explained it to me and I felt so stupid.

how is it any worse than saying ONLY black lives matter? which is the message blm is pushing .kill cops ,kill whites because only black lives matter.if it come to a riot then even other black lives don't matter to them ,they loot an burn in black neighborhoods.

@shadowplay: It is innocent Black Lives that were murdered by untrained police that is the issue. Look at it as Blaxk Lives should Matter but the police use lethal force as if they don't.

@Pfuzylogic: look at the reasons why .so you believe the gentle giant bullshit? innocent? not even close. a 13 year old pulls an exact copy of a real gun and points it at police then people are outraged he got shot? treyvon was just an innocent ? when people react with violence ,how can they complain when they get treated violently?

@shadowplay: you must not be use to a well trained police force that models the mantra of "Peotect and Serve". Don't worry, once Hollary wins the election there will be some serious LEA changes. Police will start to medel correct citizen behavior and not violate constitutional rights. They (police) have gone through culture changes before when they were all heart attacks waiting to happen in the 70s. They will go through cultural changes again. They get paid too much not to. They don't want to lose their current job to people that will accept proper training.

@Pfuzylogic: say your a cop ,a person of any color points a gun at you .what will you do ? shoot or die? do you think police never ever shoot anyone that's not black?

17 Dead, 41 Wounded In Chicago Weekend Shootings,this is not police killing blacks ,it's blacks killing blacks ,where is the outrage?

@shadowplay: Their challenge now is not to profile and use lethal force on people that can not comply with their orders. That was what the last two major protests were about. They killed handicapped black men.

profile?? you can't be profiling if the reputation is deserved .stop acting like criminals and you won't be seen as criminals. black lives matter is a government set up group to keep blacks and whites at each others throats,so we don't see what the govt is doing in the background .we can't fight the govt if we are too busy fighting each other.both sides are being used and neither can see it

@shadowplay: That sounds a bit too conspitorial for me. If BLM is not used as a method to legitimize real concerns than more militant groups will form. BLM is a legitimate organization with with solid founding. It would be best to use then like the NAACP to get a more solid footing in communitiy stability.

@Pfuzylogic: yeah i don't think the people in Ferguson will agree. if you can't see what's coming you should wake up.i live in rural america ,the only thing people see is things like ferguson ,they have nothing to counteract the bad they see .no black leaders calling for peace ,just people in the midst of a riot ,shouting burn that bitch down ! quote of the gentle giants father. they see sharpton and jackson inciting the violence . they react to what they see blm people doing .they are just another hate group . open season on whites is one slogan they use and you see them as a legitimate force to be dealt with?

The good people will have very little impact on this. I can see the challenge involved in understanding the rue dynamics involved in resolving this.
