For my part, I have never taken a black life in the line of duty and I have had the occasion to do so. The difference was that they surrendered at the moment of truth.
The truth is that police save far more black lives than take and that should be lauded at every opportunity.
THAT would put BLM back on their heels and negate their argument to nigh standstill.

Absolutely- like i said in previous posts on the issue- police engage people 100’s of 1000’s of times every year (and maybe even a lot more- I’m just guessing at the number)- and almost 100% of those engagements end without extreme violence or death- and they/you risk their lives DAILY for our sakes- all our sakes- and like you said- they risk their lives protecting all our lives every day- and it just rips me up watching the nfl and others ignore these facts, and disrespect the police, and other professions that lay their lives on the lines for them every single day- The ingratitude on their parts is deafening
