BeLookingIDIOT: FBI crime statistics tell a different story. Black people make up only 14% of the American population while white people make up over 65%. Black people still murdered white people over twice as much as white people murdered black people in 2018. You have been sold a narrative. https://ucr.fbi.gov/crime-in-the-u.s/2018/crime-in-the-u.s.-2018/tables/expanded-homicide-data-table-6.xls 1 Like

CoolUsername: sapientia:"Large movements for blacks,that's racism"- I don't understand how this makes an iota of sense to you. Did they tell you every life life don't matter before? This is like someone's loved one getting murdered,then he reports to the police and they dismiss him with "other people loose their loved ones too" ![]() This all issue is about police brutality,you guys should stop shifting goalpost. 1 Like |

BeLookingIDIOT: Factoring in the fact that despite making only 14% of the population black people commit almost half of the violent crime, your narrative still doesn't hold water. https://www.statista.com/statistics/585152/people-shot-to-death-by-us-police-by-race/

LordReed: BLM organisation are becoming or have become inseparable from the movement such that support for one is essentially support for the other which I am categorically calling bullocks.That's not my point. If you read my post again,you would see that the point i was making was, " they can become inseparable if people are not intentional in separating the two, as the line separating them can become blurry if you are not paying attention". The time to warn against and curb the influence of interest groups or extremist ideas in any society is at their inceptions or when their influence has not yet been fully entrenched into the collective mindset. Once that happens,it's already too late. Consolidation of power do not happen overnight, extremist ideas do not take hold at once. They take time and are usually a gradual process. It's easy to dismiss the BLM organisation currently because they do not yet hold considerable influence, but the thing is they are trying to. Same goes for the extremist ideas floating around. If there's one thing we can learn from history during this period is, whenever there's a disruption in the societal mindset or a vacuum in the society, there are always individuals ready to take advantage of it. The Nazi party and the Church during the middle ages are two extreme examples of how seemingly obscure groups of people and ideologies can slowly and gradually become very powerful and unchallengeable. If there was ever a time to start ringing the alarm bells against interest groups and extremist ideas floating around during this racial equality climate, now is that time. In summary: It's prudent to be very intentional about separating the BLM organisation from the black lives movement itself. Not because the BLM controls the movement now but because they are trying to. Same goes for any extremist ideas trying to bundle itself with the racial equality conversation. In Terry Crews case, He is speaking out mainly against any extremist ideas floating around in the racial equality conversation and not against any organisation in particular. Below is my original post, so you can read it again in view of explanation. I doubt that is what he meant. I read his statement as someone saying we should all have the presence of mind in separating the movement from the organisation, as sometimes that line can be blurred. 1 Like |

BeLookingIDIOT: Unarmed doesn't necessarily mean harmless. If in the process of arrest, the suspect gets shot while attempting to wrestle an officer's gun away from them, it is treated like shooting an unarmed suspect. Now, I'm not saying that the police is perfect by any means, there is definitely a police brutality issue. There's a 2016 video of an unarmed man who called the police on himself because he was off his meds, the police came and sat on his back for 13 minutes while he complained that he couldn't breathe. The man eventually died, it it didn't go viral because he was white. It didn't fit the narrative so international didn't carry it and nobody cared. The stats show the truth. The media selectively reports what they want to generate the emotions they want from you. 1 Like |

POLICE BRUTALITY EXISTS IN EVERY COUNTRY AND WHITES ALSO HAVE THEIR SHARE BUT IT'S HARDLY IN THE NEWS. IN US AND CANADA MORE WHITES ARE BULLIED EVERY YEAR BY THE POLICE THAN BLACKS (THERE ARE STATS TO PROVE THIS) BUT THE MEDIA ONLY SHOWS YOU THE SIDE THEY'RE ASKED TO SHOW.

CAPSLOCKED: It was clearly instigated by Democratic party members and George Soros. The news media and the Hollywood elite helped to fan the flames. This sh!t never seemed organic to me. It's like Marxism and communist apologia are the new religions being pushed in the west. It has seeped into western schools and is being perpetuated by the news media, the gaming community, Hollywood, and every form of entertainment. There's almost no series that started within the last 5 years, apart from anime that doesn't want to bash us in the head about how white people are evil, or men are trash, or how Christianity (never Islam) is the worst thing ever. 1 Like |

CoolUsername:Was George Floyd or many such cases trying to wrestle the officers gun? There are equally cases involving blacks that don't go "viral" The fact remains that cases of police brutality are disproportionately against black people. Anyways,if the outcry against police brutality causes a reform or positive change in their behaviour won't it be beneficial to all,be they black or white? Why are you generating so much fuss about it then. 1 Like 1 Share |

BeLookingIDIOT: I'm going to preface this by saying that I'm not defending Chauvin's actions in any way. But the facts are: 1. George Floyd had been resisting arrest. 2. Coroner reports state that he had dangerous levels of fentanyl his system and was Covid-19 positive. 3. He had complained about difficulty in breathing before he was restrained. 4. The police men still pinned him down for 8 minutes while he was complaining and he died. The police men were reckless and showed disregard for his safety, thereby, excarbating his problems and leading to his death. A textbook 3rd degree murder. Chauvin has been overcharged with and he should be acquitted of 1st degree murder by any objective judge. A similar case occurred in 2016, an unarmed man, Tony Timpa, was restrained by the police and he died. Nobody cared because he was white and didn't fit the narrative. [/quote] BeLookingIDIOT: The numbers clearly show that isn't the case. This is an emotional response to the media spin on a legitimate issue. Yes, police brutality is a problem. No, it is not a black problem, it's everyone's problem. But now black communities have been destroyed by rioters. Sacrificed because the left didn't want to look bad by deploying the national guard. Police reform will be good but BLM is talking about defunding and outright abolition. See what happened in CHAZ when the police were ordered to stand down. |

sapientia: Oh wow wow. And you support the EndSars movement and are anti-police brutality?? Reeeally? Pray tell, why? Do we youths not kill ourselves (youth-on-youth crimes)? Do we not have so many vices? Cultism, Internet fraud, drug abuse? Isn't it hypocritical for us to face our killer politicians and police officers when we kill ourselves as well? Sooo, you no think say SARS officer life matter? Why do you support their means of livelihood being taken from them? Every life matter. Yes. Including BMCs, Arewa youths and Buhari-supporting northerners and the alms beggers or whatever political term there is for people of other factions. There are people doing well in Nigeria. Nigeria is very well working for people like Dangote and Otedola, so I wonder why you speak harshly about the country's economy and leadership. Why are programs and opportunities and agencies and policies (relieving ones especially) aimed at the poor?? Do the richs' lives not matter?? You understand police brutality on Nigerian youths, but you somehow don't get police brutality on blacks? This do not make sense to me one bit. 1 Like |
