BLM chants "Pigs in a blanket" after Texas cop killed

[Kar-Esseria]

Was he the one that got shot at the gas station?

No. Different case. Saw somebody driving erratically. Pulled him over and was shot as he walked up to the truck.

Sgt. Scott Lunger....

Oh, okay. I was gonna say a friend of mine on Steam works as security guard not far from where that occurred, and he actually told me about it before it hit the news. He said he doesn't put his uniform on until he gets to work to avoid being mistaken for a police officer for this very reason.

At first I thought it sounded a bit paranoid, but after this? Nah, he may have a point there.

How many cops have been killed in the last week?

A more interesting question is how much time in the media has been devoted to talking about murdered cops, and how often would cops hear about those murders themselves and discuss them, and does this effect their perception of the situation.
Overemphasis in cops time on talking about or hearing about cops being murdered may influence their readyness to engage in lethal force, as well as their ethical standards for doing so.

[Fanosolia]

Clearly this is SJW manufactured outrage and blacks being disproportionately killed by police is a myth.

Yeh but see, you're doing it right now.
This is a cop who got shot.
This isn't the time for you to bring up that shit.
The fact blacks get disproportionately murdered by police does not mean all police are shit, and does not mean black people should revel in the opportunity to be dicks to the police, especially to police who are murdered. It makes it seem like you don't actually give a fuck about people being murdered, but more about YOUR people being murdered.
That's precisely the kind of SJWist attitude that's the problem here and in other places.

Ah but isn't that the nature of many protests? to make a statement whether it be the time or not, or whether or not it's purely for attention. I might not be the flag worshiping patriotic type, but I detest those that go to the funerals and burns a flag. They'll still do it to make that point. No matter how much of assholes they might look to those with moderate view or conformation bias detractors.

For all we know... it might just make the problem worse as the police will start thinking most black people are like the BLM.

[Kar-Esseria]

I'm not. Assumed it was just this particular bunch......

Hey, if it's convenient for people to associate the New Black Panthers with the original Black Panthers for their political agendas...

You mean we can't compare anti-Semitic black nationalists of today to anti-Semitic black nationalists of the past? Since when?

Like they were thinking positively of blacks before BLM.

No idea, but this is the second one I've heard of from Texas.

Plus one from Illinois.

[SD_Film Artists]

Are we operating under the assumption that this was a centralized decision on behalf of Black Lives Matter?

No idea, but it'll be interesting to see if and how they comment on it.

[Eastern Equestria]

Are we operating under the assumption that this was a centralized decision on behalf of Black Lives Matter?

Yeah, while this was certainly disgraceful on the part of those specific protestors, I somehow doubt that all members of the BLM movement would act in such a way. And let's not forget that the issues of institutionalized racism and police brutality which spawned BLM are still as prevalent as ever.

It'll just escalate tensions more until there is a race riot.
Which will promptly piss off more working class whites, confirm to the police that blacks are just violent by nature, and impoverish black communities even more.
It's such a clusterfuck.

Because obviously every cop in this nation of 300 million people is a racist. *nods*

It's almost as if the more radical fringe aspects of blacks are the worst enemy of black people as a whole.

Just because the media is paying extra special attention to these specific cases doesn't make it prevalent.

Not to mention, the media doesn't even care if they're actually cases of racism or police brutality, and just like to spin those rumors whenever a black guy is killed by a white cop.

[Unified Soviet Socialist Republics]

I dont think they care at this point.

These people are more concerned with getting their 15 minutes of fame then fighting for civil rights. They disgust me, and they are doing an injustice to all African-Americans.

In my opinion the Tuskegee Airmen and the 55th MA Volunteers and the 92nd Infantry among other African-American military units have done much more than the Black Lives Matter movement.

There's enough of them if it's still a persistent problem.

They weren't, but this only will instill more reasons for police to be trigger happy around black people.

Unfortunately true. They have a narrative to push and they push it.
In this case, at least, it's reflective of reality that cops unjustifiably kill black people more than is done for other demographics.

There wasn't much focus by the media on the 10 BLM policy changes suggested, because that runs counter to their toddler narrative they wrote with their crayons and play doh that it's just that cops is racist and needz to stop!
Same as their idiotic oversimplification of the wage gap.

It prevents progress and escalates tensions.

Well we do have a history of it. Look at the treatment of the Native Americans, Africans, Italians, Poles, Irish, Germans, Japanese, Chinese......

Much like school shootings, these cases are far less common than people like you would think, or the media who makes money of these incidents would want people like you to believe.
