Allow me to explain why the 'All Live Matter' hashtag is awful.

Perhaps the US and their police forces should look at emulating and reproducing the results of countries with lower crime rates and better quality of living, don't you think?

No. They should do what they are elected to do and protect the mostly black community that has been abandoned to gangs. Social improvement is not going to happen until the gangs are taken on.

New York did that and saved itself from destruction in the 1990s. On way down again thanks to de Blasio and the Ocasios.

Apart from not getting the fk out - do you think perhaps the cops might have a point IF they bothered there ar$e in trying to stop it by stopping likely suspects?

I'm from working class Dublin and the more scum they stop - and yes you can tell in a high proportion by appearance apart from fact that cops will know them anyway - the better. I'd imagine that is overwhelming attitude of people who live in working class estates. They don't regard it as "proletarian profiling."

You seem a little irritated that my own experience didn't match up with what you had told yourself it was all down to.

You mightn't be happy about this either, as Chicagos own government has for years been releasing reports about the systemic racism issues in its own police department.

Poor areas are discriminated against, but so are minorities - minorities in poor areas are discriminated against most of all.

Chicago PD is probably the worst city police department in America, in a city run from top to bottom by the Democrats who boast about having a gay mayor while mayhem is visited on the decent black community.

I lived in a rough part of Chicago before, mainly made up of black and Hispanic people. I never once got pulled over, searched, or questioned by police, despite seeing that happening multiple times a day. We even had the police get called to a house party that went out of control and resulted in a fight, 5 or 6 squad cars showed up and chatted away with me about their trips to the guinness storehouse etc while there was a clear smell of weed coming from the house. There were two black cops among them and they did not look impressed.

A friend of mine, Hispanic fella, did get arrested twice within a month for drunk and disorderly though. Which was funny since he's a teetotaller. If you're wondering, one was trying to talk to a cop about an ongoing incident he was witness to, the other occurred was when he was sitting on a corner stoop, smoking a cigarette and waiting on the rest of us for a game of football.

Poor areas get discriminated against more than rich ones of course, but minorities get discriminated against more so within those areas, and in rich ones too a fair bit if they're not "known".

It probably disproportionately effects black citizens because black areas have the most crime and the biggest problems with gang violence that's just facts it doesn't mean it's racial profiling.

Absolutely Trump is right not to pay for the damage caused by the "peaceful" protests.

Do you also think states that had the armed anti-lockdown "liberation" protests Trump called for should be denied covid relief funds also? If they adhered to stay at home and lockdown measures in place during that time things wouldn't be near as bad (or costly) as they are in the US now.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again. All lives matter. All, black, white, blue.

There was a load of headbangers led by celebrities who bailed out the rioters as the cops were arresting them, allowing them back out on the streets to reek more havoc and damage....let those idiots fund the shortfall...a lot of vital services will have to be cut back as a result of what happened.

That is before the cost of the lost tax revenues kicks in next year when businesses close or move....

Is there anything more damaging to society than "empowered" morons?

White female BLM protester flipping off black cop. Why? No-one knows.

Because any negative reactions by the police justifies the actions of those associated with BLM. If they can get the police to overreact....

As for the officer being black, it's ignored because he represents the overall force. At least, I haven't heard any difference in opinions about police racism when it's committed by a POC police officer or a white one.

I presume the wave of support for Black Lives Matter will mean a fervent social media and public support campaign for Traveller Pride week this week?

I would think those in the LGBTQI+ community who are also part of the Traveller Community are prime candidates for discrimination and inequality.

To be honest I think most of them are confusing racism with poverty and living in a high crime area.

I see so many ridiculous videos on Facebook and YouTube of black people saying they're being harassed by police cause they're black.

No you got pulled over because you're walking around a high crime area with your pants sagging in a wife beater top looking like something from straight outta Compton.

A 24 y/o mother from Indianapolis, Indiana, Jessica Doty Whitaker, was shot dead after allegedly getting into an argument about Black Lives Matter and language. When it ended, both walked away from each other but a little time later where the killer was waiting for Whitaker and shot her.

Taking someone's life because of a different opinion? This is additional proof of the type of cohort that associates with BLM

Really positive to see that money being denied.

If you agree to burn the neighbours businesses, Washington shouldn't pay for it.

Trump has denied Minnesota's request of $500 million in federal disaster aid to repair the damage from the riots. Alot of money considering that we were constantly reminded the protests were peaceful. The mayor allowed these parasites to ruin their city and specifically told police to stand down. Granting the aid would only serve in stating that burning down and wrecking a city is acceptable. Should BLM not be held accountable to an extent? It's not like they aren't well funded given the number of corporations that donated millions etc, BLM has taken in $1.2 billion to date. Bank of America was the largest single contributor to give to them. it should be made very clear that if any state allows for their citizens to run amuck that no aid will be provided. Simples

It's never their fault , even when she was wrong she called them rude. I suppose the black cop searching him was racist too.

Using logic is racist nowadays even if it is mostly black people doing it you have to willfully pretend it could be someone else.

If I was a parent living in an area like that, id rather the cops stopping and searching my son everyday if it meant he was less likely to get stabbed and killed .The cops in England killed one black man last year and you'd swear they were killing loads of them by the way BLM goes on. They're nothing but race baiters. if they really cared for the lives of black people why don't they march on the local drug dealers and gang members who live in their areas who are doing all the killings but they won't as it doesnt fit the narrative, it's much easier to blame whitey for all their problems .
