Oh yeah, sure. I can help you with that. People are protesting the alarming rate of extra-judicial killings of brown people, and the tendency for those involved to avoid any meaningful consequence for their actions. Paid leave has been the standard sentence for a man found to have killed a man otj as a police officer in the united states. In some counties, states, or years, the cops even managed to kill more people than the criminals - which is something that had to be independently researched, because the cops are not obligated to track or keep that data, nor is there anyone or any agency that they must officially report it to.
This seems like it might be a problem. As in...all of it.
Beyond that, though, it seems to me like this is advice you might want to take more to heart yourself - as you invariably show up whenever you've found some new racist bullshit that you feel compelled to share. Maybe, be a little more sure about the details..and what you're protesting? If you're just super duper committed to this, then get better material, from some other set of sources. Additionally, conflating something with a religion is lazy criticism even if it did have similarities to a religion.
I can't imagine why a people who religiously believed that black lives matter would be a bad thing, and it's obvious that the cops haven't heard that good news.
Firstly, to you and Boru, an ideology is not a race, and most black people don't want to defund the police, so I debunked you there, and most social justice rioters are caucasian, so again, not racist to criticize people of all races for going off before the details of a case are in. You're getting awful close to the territory of people who say Kyle Rittenhouse, a caucasian male, racistly killed 2 other caucasian males. Logic, I know.
No, this black life ceased to matter when he shot up his neighbours apartment, remained armed, and refused to give up himself. At that point, you need to be put down for the good of the neighbours, and that man decided that his own life didn't matter. I'm aware that he was mentally ill, but that's not a good enough reason to put his neighbours in further harm. The right course of action was taken. So no. You're wrong. Life doesn't always matter. Sometimes a rabid dog just needs to be put down, and there's no shame in it. If he was unarmed and shot, I'd be here saying that nothing any victim of his says justifies what the police did to him, but that is not the case here. So yeah, Nudge, being religious and taking the so called woke pill to the point where people are saying OJ was framed, Jussie Smollett was framed, and that the guy in this case should have been treated with kid gloves even though he tried to kill people and remained armed, that is problematic, because your movement is starting to morph more and more into the Black Hebrew Israelites by the day.
