Yes, I've heard them interviewed, and all they say is the rogue cops are killing blacks, predominately men and boys, indiscriminately. I've yet to hear them bitch about anyone else being targeted.

Have you heard them say that it's OK for cops to kill white people indiscriminately?

All soundbyte rhetoric. Which cops are doing their jobs and which are adults still acting like children?

Nope, don't even mention white, yellow, red, or plaid, at all.

Sandra Bland committed suicide in her cell after assaulting a cop. After a few days, video evidence proved it. But at the time, people were really hungry for examples to be outraged about, and here was this hanging...
So now she's crowbarred into the narrative every time. Facts don't matter. Actually they do and the game is to pick the facts that support your narrative and just avoid the facts that don't. Pretty soon you "just know what happened" and the facts don't actually matter to anyone. Y'all eat that shit up. Enjoy. I know it tastes great and you get to feel that oh so self-righteous satisfied feeling of being on the right side and being a part of it all. You care harder. And that's good, and important. Empathy is in short supply in the world. But it's not the only thing that's good and important. "Close your eyes, close your ears young man You've seen and heard all an old man can Spread the facts on the floor like a fan Throw away the ones that make you feel bad" -- Ben Folds "Bastard" |

Bull shit. Inflammatory bull shit. Crap like this is what helps escalate the racial divide in our country.

Now, it's entirely possible that she did kick him off camera, and I consider it extremely likely that she did commit suicide, but your strong claim that video evidence proved it makes your next sentence a bit ironic. Quote:

It's a propaganda piece that takes 9 minutes 41 seconds to mix truths with half truths trying; but, FAILING to rationalize using a race-centric phrase that in itself causes divisiveness. Stupid is as stupid does.
I was able to accomplish what it failed to do, rationalize a race-centric phrase that in itself causes divisiveness, without using propaganda technique and with just 5 words: Black lives don't matter any less than anyone else's. It took the Doctor 6 words to depose Prime Minister Harriet Jones ... amateur. |

Victoria Hart is a mathematician known for making educational videos. She isn't a sociologist, anthropologist, or even experienced criminal justice professional. Let us break down her video.
Her claims the Black Lives Movement have concrete plans are ludicrous. I have heard everything espoused from having only black police officers to patrol urban areas to no police presence in some neighborhoods. These are the same groups that have called for the removal of body armor from police. BTW, which BLM group do we listen to? Who is there leader? Is it Shaun King who has clearly been identified as a white male pretending to be African-American?
