As evidenced here those leaning left will ignore the issue altogether, or attempt to distract, change the subject, make apple to orange comparisons, the usual deflection we have come to expect. The issue is, does BLM as an organization really care about black lives? Clearly they do not.
All I would like to see from them and their supporters is a more honest representation of who they represent and care about. This too is clear. They care about career criminals, which is fine as criminals have rights too and need representation. Just quit pretending that they are concerned about anything else, they are not.
I will also add as a organization, as a society where should our outrage and horror be placed? Should it be when the occasional thug gets jammed up with the law again ending up dead, or when a child gets shot by a thug? Which happens more often? Innocent kids are gunned down on a weekly basis in Chicago and other cities. Where is the coast to coast protest? Where is the national media coverage? Where are the politicians and pundits? At what point do we say, enough is enough, and take this problem head on?
A baby gets killed in cold blood and it's oh well, shit happens. Career criminal gets killed and it's stop the presses, this can't be tolerated for another day. So long as this is the case people like myself will remain mostly indifferent to thugs getting killed by police, just or otherwise.
Seriously for a moment, united forces is almost certainly a Russian account or NY hood/another drumming up recruits Captain.
There is a massive unemployment spike, overall crime was down 10 percent in Chicago during the lockdown AP say, drug arrests down 42 percent there. Now there is a lockdown relaxation spike.
Chicago is far less violent per capita than other republican or democrat led cities. It does not even crack the top 25, Tulsa is far more dangerous.
The presence of Republican majority government does not seem to make any difference so if they have the solution, its not working.
