According to the "logic" of some in these forums; this news must mean the "Back the Blue" is a terrorist organization.

It's so sad that some folk's balls are so small that they view protests against wayward cops as an attack on all cops. So much so that they have to form a club ... as if guns and police powers aren't enough.

It must be really tiny.

Real cops must be embarrassed, but afraid to come out.

This is a bit inaccurate. If it were protests against wayward cops, I'm not sure how many folks would be against it. I certainly would not. But I can show you countless examples of good cops that have been assaulted, ambushed and even murdered because of these "protests". Having a counter movement to say that not all police are bad isn't really outside the realm of normalcy.

Happy to provide specific examples of the above if needed.

Yes it is but also to acknowledge that Black Lives are the ones taken more often by Police is to say ... isn't it about effng time something is done about it.

Without White Outrage to follow .... waah waah what about us?

White outrage? Is this why most riots and protests nowadays are mostly or all white? Thanks for explaining it. I was trying to figure out why that was the case.

While cops have been assaulted, the protest is not about assaulting cops.

I can show you countless examples of good protesters being assaulted by cops; and likewise, we can't conclude that all cops were there to assault protesters.

We can't blame a movement, for the acts of individuals; Individuals that may not really be part of the movement; Individuals acting contrary to the tenets of the movement.

Is it just me, or is this not an obvious fact?

Fine. So why can't people support both movements? Why is supporting either of them wrong?

It doesn’t matter what group you pick there will always be bad actors, or so we are told by the left..... Isis, Al-Qaeda although terrorist organizations they are not indicative of Muslims as a whole.

Tis’ a shame they don’t follow their own advice, yes there are bad cops but the vast majority are honest, hard working men and women who put their lives on the line every shift.

And to acknowledge that fact is perfectly fine.

It isn't the good men and women in law enforcement that people innocently go after... it is the large majority of those "good" men and women who cover up, lie and look the other way when officers abuse power.

It is disingenuous for 990 officers to point fingers at the 10 bad cops out of 1000 when the other 990 are quiet, look the other way, participate in covering up facts, or simply bury the information.

Then you still get 1000 bad cops instead of only 10 bad ones.

There are too many instances of reports being falsified or cops assisting others to change stories to cover up the real events. If you murder someone in the line of the duty all the cops should step up and make sure that person is identified and dealt with.

The only reason why we have any justice being served is because PRIVATE CITIZENS are recording things and police cannot manipulate that evidence.

if you want to see what I mean about cops covering for cops, look at the shooting of Daniel Shaver. The cop was taken care of pretty well for firing at a man crawling on the floor.

I'm aware of the BLM movement (https://blacklivesmatter.com/). Point me to the website for the other movement you're referring to.

Does a movement have to have a website in order to be valid?

 

[Bugenhagen]

Yes, I support the good men and women who serve in Law Enforcement. I encourage everyone to join me.

The good ones won't mind being released from institutional expectation to support the bad ones.

Not necessarily to be "valid," but to be an actual movement, there needs to be evidence of such a movement.

If I say that there is an Orange Lives Matter movement, does that make it so? People should debate that "movement" on only the strength that I said it exists?

Name any established movement without a supporting organization or website.
