    over 20 complaints of police brutality, plus nobody wanted to work with him due to his behaviour, which explains why it was three mixed race rookies all with him, likely trying to turn him from his racist ways....poor police tactic as it ended with the death of a black man.

    Quote where I have acknowledged that BLM supports violence, or retract.

    Which is pretty much useless if nobody makes them matter.

    Nope. Here is the conversation thread - as you can see, you are the one who first mentioned the gun pointing:

    Why does anyone have to make them matter? That sounds like a racist statement.

    You said: "Even though they support violence in their protests which you've acknowledged."
    You quote: "I think BLM has actually shown quite a bit of restraint by keeping their protests mostly non-violent."

    One more time: quote where I acknowledge that BLM supports violence.

    Your quote contradicts your nonsense. Why would BLM make an effort to keep protests non-violent if they supported the violence?

    Quote or retract!

    Sure, sure BLM is all about the peace. When they said kill cops they meant kill them with kindness amirite?

    Weird question. Did you think that civil rights (in general) exist just because of the goodness in the hearts of those who violated them? They exist because people demanded them. Because people forced them matter. If BLM doesn't force police departments to start wondering why they are disproportionately stopping black people at traffic stops, arresting them and shooting them... did you think all the progress that has been made would have been possible? Hint: it wouldn't have.

    That's like saying that protesting against war (or pick your favorite topic) is a statement in favor of war.

    If the BLM protests were MOSTLY non-violent, then there was SOME violence.

    Well you talked about RESTRAINT, not EFFORT! If what you meant is that BLM have done a good job keeping their protests mostly non-violent, then you did a TERRIBLE job of conveying that! What you said mans something ENTIRELY different!

    Boy what an imagination you have? There is no evidence of racism here whatsoever, he was given the rookies because he was an experienced officer and he had complaints because he was proactive, a good thieftaker. The tactics never killed this black man, his drug addiction and resisting arrest did,

    So what?

    Where is the quote of me saying (as you claim) that BLM supports violence or your retraction?

    I first need to determine what you meant by "restraint." Again, you talked about RESTRAINT, not EFFORT! If what you meant is that BLM have done a good job keeping their protests mostly non-violent, then you did a TERRIBLE job of conveying that! What you said mans something ENTIRELY different! So confirm what you meant.

    Well... you didn't need to determine... anything before you claimed that I said that BLM supports violence.

    So at this point I'm afraid a retraction or a quote are the only two possible options.

    Yes, because it seemed that you were saying BLM had to try hard to protest peacefully. Now that you have confirmed that you are NOT saying this, now there is the need to clarify what you meant by "restraint."

    I have neither confirmed nor failed to confirm anything. And the only need there is is for you to either produce a quote to back up your claim of what I said, or a retraction.

    As a matter of principle, I don't support "everything" on anybody's website.

    Now, where is the quote or retraction!

    Alright, I retract. Now what did you mean by BLM showing "quite a bit of restraint by keeping their protests mostly non-violent?" Your quote again:
