So now no one here ever supported the BLM organization in the first place and only supported the statement that "black lives matter", eh Helios? Is that the pivot we're going with now? And in defense of Jussie Smollett, I've got sympathy for him and don't want him getting any jail time (so racist, I know, eh race hustlers lol?). Just probation and a fine.

So BLM endorsing Smollett is not a big enough news story for the thread? Or you just don't want people pointing out that it took you and Helios years before finally backing off from your support of Q-Anon? And Helios posted misinformation saying it was only one loon, and I am allowed to respond and correct misinformation. At least it appears that you guys are no longer willing to defend Q-Anon... I mean BLM, as an organization, so respect to you for seeing you were wrong and changing your position.

The trouble, as ever, is that you imagine yourself to be engaged with BLM in some sort of zero sum deathmatch. 

You fail to understand that your version of the story is about blm la specifically....in response to a case in chicago... no less. 

You fail to understand why such a movement would find it hard to trust police regardless of convictions.

You fail to understand that any organization which stands with people who end up convicted more often than not already stands for the convicted and un-convicted alike and regardless.

You fail to understand that a person can support an organization in spite of disagreeing with any given position it espouses.

It's all rahowa, all the time, in your silly head...and other people, people in blm, people here on the boards... just don't default to this.  That's why it never works, in case you were wondering.  You wrote yourself off long ago, and don't appear to have any interest in rehabilitation.

The official BLM website posted and endorsed what the BLM LA co-founder said. This isn't just a case of BLM LA putting this out there, which would be bad enough.

Of course it's hard to trust police. They don't have to believe police. Jussie and the boys are on camera doing a dry run, and you have all of the other evidence. There is no need to "believe the police". That's not what this case is about. If they had said, Jussie made a mistake and we still stand behind him, then that's fine, but they called him honourable and said he should be believed.
