They're nothing short of home grown terrorists and they're no different from the Klan, the Neo Nazis, and the New Black Panthers. Their chants of "What Do We Want? DEAD COPS!" and "Pigs In A Blanket! Fry 'em Like Bacon!" stokes the flames of hatred and instigates murder against our police officers. There's nothing peaceful about this radical and hatemongering group.
I think it would be far more apt to say that the BLM movement suffers from the same problem that any other movement can have. It can be used and abused by extremists.
That said, and this is in general, I'm absolutely sickened of the way I'm seeing people -who would normally decry such things- rationalize and defend this insanity; whether it's shootings, violent mobs, or supremacist/racist propaganda. Supporting and understanding the movement is one thing, but I've been seeing a whole new madness lately and I just don't know what to think.
In addition to that, it's hard to legitimize BLM. It has no centralized organization, no leadership, no platform, no spokespeople,...BLM is basically made up of disorganized mobs of violent radicals, anarchists, racists, and cop haters. They've agitated the murders of police officers. It's unbelievable how anyone can rationalize and defend this.
