    There is no weakness in admitting being wrong. When the world has one view and a relatively small base of Trump supporters has another, I think you should - at the very least - give a listen with an open mind to the other view.

    Yeah, reading the resident lefties on this forum has been a hoot. Such angst and drama. Lots of obvious propaganda. Lots of excuses.

    No. I am talking about the rioting as a result of Floyd's death.

    Sure, but national protests over 1 man being murdered is not normal. And its not BLM's claim. BLM likes to use examples of where the killing of a black person was justified in their protests. Like Tamir Rice for instance. A kid that was shot by police because he was pointing what looked to be a real gun at the officer that shot him. When I saw a picture comparing that toy gun to a real gun you could not tell the difference between the two. But BLM is making it out as if he was murdered because of the color of his skin. If everything that they said was true I'd probably support them. But they don't. Most of it is either false or extreme hyperbole.

    Bold: Agreed. My point was only to show that braying about being in the majority and being on the "right side" as a result is not something that they should stick their hat on.

    The 1004 was from a simple google search (which led to WAPO). The rest was via my own investigation using various sites using WAPO's list of people shot by police as a starting point. I focused on unarmed people shot by police. (41 cases are a lot easier to investigate than 1004)

    And basically, if you look at the videos, BLM rioters are mostly young white people, more than likely endoctrinated in college.. well.. in the US educational system in general.

    BLM has turned into a front for a myriad of socialist anti capitalist groups.

    The naivete revolves around believing that all this pain and destruction was about a man being suffocated by police.

    yep, police abuse has a ripple effect, which is why we must address it and try to prevent it, good cops need to protect the people from bad cops

    No, but that doesn't mean that all the peaceful protests were violent. 15 people would be a VERY small number if that many violent protests had been going on.

    One, by the name of Floyd, is even smaller.

    So you think murdering a man is alright just because it's police doing it?

    Why do you make stuff up? I never said anything like that. You started talking about numbers. I just pointed out another number. But here is another number you might not like. A black is about fifty times more likely to be killed by another black than by the police. Blacks have a whole lot more serious problem than the police. it is themselves.
