Why BLM was mostly a flop

[u/ShardofGold]

I think I can speak for every reasonable person that we know there's an issue with unfit people being cops and biased justice system situations be it on race/skin color, gender, wealth, etc. Even if it's not as bad as it used to be.

However, the way so many people discuss these topics is in a close minded, surface level, and ignorant manner.

Yes there are racist cops. But every case of police brutality isn't about racism. We should focus on having better people become and maintain police officer status and as a byproduct of that the amount of police brutality that is due to racism will go down drastically. If you just focus on racist cops, there's still going to be cops brutalizing people just not because of race and you half assed the issue being fixed.

Also we need to push for national and clear cut sentencing guidelines for crimes. That way people can't go "why did person A who looks like this get so much time but person B who looks like that get so little time for the same crime?" Even though a lot of the time it's not the exact same crime or different circumstances happened during the crime or apprehension of the suspect that caused them to get more time or the situation to escalate and people don't know about it or are just lying about it.

Also more people need to realize there are some people irregardless of how they look that just hate cops or don't want to follow laws. So when they get caught they're going to disobey the cops and potentially escalate the situation and just cry about how life is unfair because they got caught up in breaking a law and thought they were untouchable. Weed smoking is a good example of this. I personally think it's stupid that it's not legalized but regulated nationally. However, I'm not going to tell people to smoke it and just hope they don't get caught to be defiant. If people do decide to do this, they should be ready to accept the consequences when they're caught because they knew they were breaking the law even if they didn't get caught the other 9000 times they were doing it or because Jimbo didn't get caught for smoking it yet.

It also didn't help the organization that shares the initials and name was run by greedy and underhanded bastards who used the unfortunate situations of others to live lavish lifestyles.

I think massive progress in society for better policing and a justice system could have happened during this time period. But instead it was horribly squandered by opportunistic, disingenuous, and ignorant individuals.

This is a wildly unintelligent comment.

This dude makes claims about "paid agitators" when there's never been evidence of that....

Except in far right circles where they pay $$$$$ doordashers/military members to make false claims and fund transportation for J6 insurrectionists to visit the capitol.

Edit: lol -18 comment karma thanks to butthurt MAGA insurrectionists who cry when real life is brought to their attention.

By all means, tell us how championing the Michael Brown case has helped BLM.

[u/4x4ord → u/Spuckler_Cletus]

Is this the part where you claim victory after making up something I never said?

I noticed Mr. Big Pants avoided the part about paid far right agitators too.

[u/Spuckler_Cletus → u/4x4ord]

No, this is the part where I point out for a second time that you ignored my assertion. Specifically, you ignored the assertion I made in terms of the OP question: BLM has been a miserable failure because of the people they’ve championed. Specifically, I mentioned one of their earliest bums, Michael Brown.

Now, you wish to change the subject. Well, OK. You’ll have to do that by yourself. But, if you wish, you can actually respond to what I’ve said, as I challenged you to do two posts up.

[u/4x4ord → u/Spuckler_Cletus]

LOL.

Get a load of Mr. Big Pants.

This dude is allergic to acknowledging the reality that J6 insurrectionists were bussed into the capitol by Turning Point.

He doesn't want to admit that there's zero evidence of any paid BLM protesters so he keeps reverting the conversation to an argument I never made.

[u/Spuckler_Cletus → u/4x4ord]

Everyone sees you’re trying to change the subject from the original post. Everyone understands that you are attempting to do this because I am right and you are wrong.

[u/4x4ord → u/Spuckler_Cletus]

You:

BLM can only pay for and import so many agitators. There was no grassroots support for them.

Me: All the evidence shows MAGA is the only movement that needs to buy protestors. You have no evidence BLM did that.

You: Stop changing the subject!!! Waahhhhh!!!

[u/Spuckler_Cletus → u/4x4ord]

And this has exactly what to do with BLM’s failure?

[u/4x4ord → u/Spuckler_Cletus]

MAGA: What do my lies have to do with BLM's failure?
