I don't blame you and I'm surprised I don't see more people like you. It must be hard to have leftist ideals while actually hanging around the left these days. Sometimes I feel the same hanging with people on the right when they start whining about the BLM protests, you can be skeptical about the numbers of police specifically targeting black people, but a lot of the people marching simply want justice and police accountability-nothing wrong with that.

BLM was great, until it started to hate. At that point, fuck that racist shit. I've seen too many videos of unprovoked violence towards whites, and calls for murder, to ever support or have any time for BLM.

Police have a hard job. It does attract some bad people, but also some very very caring people. It must be soul destroying to work in black communities, clearing up the brains of murdered children (what was it, 14 people killed last weekend, in one city), dead at the hands of mindlessly vicious and uncaring black people.

Blacks have an issue in their communities, an issue of insane and destructive behaviours and a lack of regard for any of the tenets of civilisation.

Black lives have always mattered. But Black people seem to not care.

Yeah 67 people shot in Chicago and I haven't heard of any protests over that. Can you imagine if the police had 67 unjustified shootings in one city in one weekend?

Anyways I try to judge the individuals and not the group (BLM) itself, but if we are to judge the group there is certainly room for improvement. You're not wrong.
