We know it's #NotAllCops just like it's #NotAllchristians or #NotAllmuslims. This shit still goes on though, and if it really is #NotAllCops then why do so few cops have anything to say about it or want to push for reform?
#BlackLivesMatter as a slogan is harmless. I said this before, but it's petty seeing the amount of white people who seem so excluded that they had to tone police it and change it to #AllLivesMatter. There would be nothing wrong with #AllLivesMatter if these people had been saying that from the jump, but it's the way they suddenly start saying it just to blatantly finger-wag at a movement they feel excluded from because it's not about us. Society already knows our (white) lives matter, that's why it's "black lives matter" in the first place.

They're both harmless, imho. Personally, I can see both sides on this issue.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
