Talk about a red rag to a bull.

But I admit the protesters did go a bit over the top

Yes, just as I thought, Donald Trump didn't call the BLM protestors terrorists .

Someone else said it about the violent demonstrators and Trump just shared the letter .

Trump did not do as you claimed 

Those protesters that were terrorized out of Lafayette Park were not violent! Are you defending that hold of the bible disaster?!? By retweeting that total garbage, whether you like it or not, he basically went along with the total lie that those peaceful protesters that evening were violent terrorists. They were not. To assert that they were is shameful. People need to pick a side now. An unhinged fascist president that is an existential threat to American democracy or the actual people of the United States.

80% my family are black mostly in Chicago and Jolliet area and most don't support BLM as they became hijacked and going racist as they never protest against all black being killed and target only 1 race..white

 

The message "Black Lives Matter" can be a statement in and of itself. It doesn't intrinsically have to be linked to the activist organization of the same name.

 

Clearly, there are far too many white people in the U.S., probably including a good portion of Trump's support base, who obviously need to be reminded that "black (and other minority group) lives matter."  Because they clearly haven't managed to figure that out on their own.

He claimed that the protestors were not peaceful , but terrorists burning and destroying .

That is besides the point thought : Trump isn't saying that the BLM demonstrators are terrorist's, as you claimed

You confirm that there is a massive race problem in the USA.

Most people realize that not only white people are racist. Racism exists for every "color". Some people are racists and some are not. And with an openly racist president that won't get any better anytime soon.

Racism and the POTUS is well espoused  by the opposition.So when I see many people of color praise him I know how this triggers some people who oppose him 

USA - what a basket case!  The place has gone mad.

 

Not much worse than the UK actually.....

 

The BLM cult grows

Great lol love it that’s gotta burn lol old Donald going to have a meltdown over this!I’m viewing thease last days in a hopeful way seeing the diversity of the protesters gives me hope that trump hasent rotted the heart and soul of the country there is light at the end of the tunnel my worry now is when he loses come November will he attempt a coup we allready know he’s trying to suppress the vote come on November enough chaos

More than a few, many millions and what of the non black citizens of America, what are they to think now? 

Not the brightest mayor, wouldn’t “all lives matter” be more inclusive?

The simple education for you my friend is some people don't think Black Lives Matter. Take time to reflect on that thought.

It seems there are still a couple of good people in America.

More of the same please.

I've been watching the very weak BLM protests in London I think it was. People just sitting around, no burning, looting, robbing. Come on.....really.

Ahhh yea as 99% of protesters are peaceful there is great strength in unity and I dare say diversity 

'Russia urges the U.S. to ‘observe democratic standards’ and respect Americans’ right to protest'

 

When even despots can claim the moral high ground with any kind of credibility it's time for serious introspection. Imagine the belly laugh from Putin when he ordered that message to be put out there.

Meh.

 

They resigned from the special task force, not the BPD.

 

Carry on.

 

 

It’s a start

It should be  ALL LIVES MATTER. A white Australian/ USA woman was shot by police in 2017. No outrage for her.

 

 On July 15, 2017, Justine Damond, née Ruszczyk, a 40-year-old Australian-American woman, was fatally shot by a 33-year-old Mohamed Noor, a Somali-American Minneapolis Police Department officer, after she had called 9-1-1 to report the possible assault of a woman in an alley behind her house.

Is that the exception or the norm. Therein is your answer. If you didnt know that then you are the problem.

Spraying graffiti fits right in with rioting. Nice gang tag they have.

It will be interesting to see the outcome if the movements to defund the police succeed in any meaningful way. Back to the old wild west where everyone is armed and sorts out their problems themselves.

A country which has got enough money to equip every policeman with a rocket launcher but not have enough for health care has some problems with priority setting...

Last I saw they banged up her shooter in jail for a long time. 
 

Anyway, as one of her countrymen said the other day: 

 

“'Saying all lives matter is like going to a cancer fundraiser and saying there are other diseases'," 

Feel free to organise your own protest about the downtrodden white peoples of the world tomorrow. I’m sure lots of fine people will turn up, goose stepping and all.

why do black lives matter over other colours ?

 

Seems very racist.

Where is the  declaration  does "black lives matter" claim anything about  superiority?

It is a simple declaration of objection to being considered "less" in system that  encourages deliberate divisions based on ethnicity across the board .

Mainstream media having been fueling this with their usual misrepresentations of Trump's briefings. I can't believe they can get away with this and not be held accountable for the damage they incite.

I mean that nasty MSM - how pesky are they? Televising police murdering people is slow motion - wouldn’t it be better if they just didn’t show this stuff?
