I actually heard someone comment that the only reason the cops were arrested so quickly was because they were black....let that sink inRemember the Thomas Nine !! (10/02/2018)

One was a rookie make, mid 20s or something, the other was a new mom, in her early 30s. The make was shot in the head and unresponsive. The female was shot in the face and through the jaw. She made radio calls for help but was unintelligible.
There was video of bystanders who, after the shooter ran off, stood and mocked the police, made fun of the mom for not having a jaw on her face anymore while also trying to render aide to her partner with a head shot and yelled at them to just die. Then protesters showed up at the hospital and attempted to block the ambulance carrying the 2 cops. As far as I know these cops had not been involved in any questionable behavior and had no complaints, they were just cops in the wrong city and the community supported their attempted murder.
Thats what I think of when I hear that. Not black lives don't matter.0 -

Funny that "Blue Lives Matter" wasn't a slogan back in the day when Ice T wrote cop killer, or when NWA wrote Fuck Tha Police.
It only became mainstream as a response to BLM, and it went right out the window on 1/6/21.
Weird, huh?0 -

There were groups that cheered the killing of Kennedy...MLK, etc. NOT acceptable.
But the anti-police crowd seems stronger now than even just 10 years ago. I dont think someone who signed up to be a cop 10 or 12 years ago projected what the job would be like today. I dont like the "well they signed up for it" argument in response to police killings. Doesn't make sense to me. No one signed up for that.Sure, maybe they'd thought they'd be cussed out, but never shot in the back of the head while writing a report.
Maybe its just because of the internet and we see the videos now, but it seems worse than 10 years ago. I wouldn't have pictured what I saw happening before. If you havent seen those videos, I think its worth watching. 2 innocent people got shot and the witnesses just laugh and mock them trying to bandage themselves and call for help.
And back to my first point. When I hear blue lives matter its not about being anti black, its protesting killings like that.0 -

I don't know a single person here or in real life who encourages or approves of police killings.
The response of the people who blocked the ambulances etc was equally horrifying. Our society's deeply fucked, no argument there... but to suggest "the community" encourages or finds acceptable the murder of police based on those incidents is nonsense. It's a sweeping generalization, and no different or any less wrong than saying all cops are murderous racists.
The state I've lived in my entire life is as blue as it gets, and literally no one I know or have ever known finds the killing of police officers acceptable.

You get quite a different view from people living in different areas.
