When you're in the basement under an old mattress it doesn't matter what color you are.

False equivalency.

Some cops are assholes.

And

Some blacks are assholes.

To say black lives matter - because they were born that way changes not a bit the facts if a black is an asshole.

And to say blue lives don't count because they were not born cops is just as wrong and stupid.

.....

The problem is assholes.


And there's no shortage of them - black, white, cop or not...

Too bad that isn't the problem 


Oh and BLUE  LIVES DON'T MATTER !

Not for nothing but I don't think we should call black people spades. Phrasing!

Blue live matters might be a useful slogan if the police are required to go unarmed into ganglands, and are usually thrown in jails for looking at gang members the wrong way.

Fair point. When there’s a rash of unarmed cops shot in the back while running away and their killers never or rarely prosecuted, I promise to get behind the Blue Lives Matter movement.

Can you cite for me the statute that lists ‘being an asshole’ as a justification for extra-judicial executions?

Make shit up, why don'tcha?

I never said, meant or implied anything of the sort - and I consider it rather insulting where you imply I did.

If that wasn’t what you meant, I apologize.

But ‘Black Lives Matter’ is first and foremost about the disproportionate killing of Black people by cops. So, when you say that it doesn’t matter that Black people were born Black if they happen to be assholes, that’s precisely missing the point; a Black asshole is more likely to be killed by cops than is a White asshole.
