BLM Tears Down 'Blue Lives Matter' billboards

Postby Inter-Universal Republic of Earth » Tue May 17, 2016 7:43 pm

http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/blue-lives-matter-display-defaced-at-dartmouth-college-republicans-say/ar-BBt9Bgk?ocid=fbmsn

I believe that the BLM members were in the wrong in this situation here, due to censoring the opinions of people they disagree with.

So what do you all think? Was BLM in the right? Wrong? Or do not have enough evidence to come to a clear result?

They were in the wrong. Most police officers do a good job and even if they don't, they don't deserve to get shot. Neither do people who get arrested unless they're a threat.

This is a disgrace. Most cops are genuinely good people, and their job is extremely stressful. they get enough shit from just being a cop, and now this.

*i thought it was the Bureau of Land Managment who tore down the sign when I read BLM. Nope.

What bullshit.

Honestly, I'm really tired of this. One day it's the fucking idiots from Gamergate, the Alt Right, and the radical side of 4chan. The next day, it's the radical side of tumblr, left wing progressives, and starry eyed, dewy eyed college students.

Almost as disgusting as arresting drug using "criminals", harassing minority communities, shooting unarmed black youths and robbing suspects during arrests.

tbh “You cannot co-opt the movement against state violence to memorialize its perpetrators. #blacklivesmatter,” seems like a perfectly accurate statement
ask moderation about reading serious moderation candidates TGs without telling them about it until afterwards and/or apparently refusing to confirm/deny the exact timeline of TG reading ~~~ i hope you never sent any of the recent mods or the ones that got really close anything personal!

signature edit: confirmation has been received. they will explicitly do it before and without asking. they can look at TGs basically whenever they want so please keep this in mind when nominating people for moderator or TGing good posters/anyone!

well, the job of a firefighter is completely from that of a cop and a huge number of them are technically volunteers so i'm not sure why you made this post unless you were deliberately making a false comparison to change the subject away from cops

Are you not aware of the Drug War, or how police treat homeless people (vagrancy laws, etc)?

They are an organization built on harassment, which sometimes becomes violent.
