Pretty sure we're one more dead black guy justifiably or not killed by police away from everyone cancelling everything so if COVID doesn't end the season that will
Stupidity. This doesn't have anything to actually do with justice. An activist group is flexing its muscles because it can, nothing more.
I get the anger when a member of the community dies under a policeman's gun, or due to negligence, but the solution to that problem is neither to defund the police or to burn down your own neighborhood. If the bright bulbs of BLM can't come up with a more sane list of demands than that they're going to be wasting their time and ours for the next several years at this rate.
Nothing they're doing is actually about saving black lives and if there was anything that was likely to be done about the overall problem it would already be underway with or without more protests.
At the end of the day bad policing is a local problem, not a national one, and there is no national solution. That these protests have gone national suggests, at least to me, that one or more players at the national level want it to.
I strongly suspect this nonsense is being prolonged because someone wants some noise made until after the election and noise is therefore being duly made. The most the police (oudside the individual officers whose misbehavior opened this can of worms) can be accused of is providing an excuse.
Civil protest is the fundamental right of every American but the riots and attacks need to stop yesterday. You're not gonna accomplish anything good by blowing up your own neighborhoods, and if you're blowing up someone else's, there is a word that describes that, but whoever is calling that "protest" is pronouncing terrorism rather weirdly.
