“Pigs In A Blanket, Fry 'Em Like Bacon!” – Chant at a #Blacklivesmatter protest in Minnesota
“What do we want? Dead cops! When do we want it? Now!” – Chant by "Million Marchers" in New York City
The whole Black Lives Matter Movement is pure crap designed to help liberals get their names out there and to increase black turnout in elections for the Democratic Party.
It’s a movement funded by liberal white Americans like the Ben and Jerry’s Foundation and supported primarily by privileged black liberals that does nothing but produce a bigger body count.
For whatever reason, black Americans have always had a more hostile relationship with the police than other groups. Maybe that comes from the bad old days of the civil rights movement when the police weren’t always fair to black Americans. Maybe it comes from the sky high crime rate in black America which insures that percentage wise, more black Americans profit from criminal activities or know people involved in regularly breaking the law than people from other races. Perhaps it’s just a “Which came first, the chicken or the egg?” problem? Did police hostility cause black Americans to become more distrusting of law enforcement or did hostility by black Americans cause the police to become more distrustful? If that hostility and distrust ceased on one side, would it disappear on the other side, too? Whatever the reason for it, it exists and the Black Lives Matter movement has greatly exacerbated it for its own purposes.
The sad reality is that the police have to do a dirty, dangerous, unpleasant job that sometimes involves killing other human beings to protect themselves or others. There will NEVER be a time when mistakes aren’t made. So, if the goal is supposed to be to stop the police from ever making a mistake, it’s pie in the sky.
Moreover, the overwhelming majority of police shootings are justified and those that aren’t are USUALLY punished in a court of law. There are undoubtedly cases where guilty police officers skate in court for their crimes, but as Nicole Simpson could tell you if she were still alive, murderers don’t always get convicted in America.
Because this really isn’t a huge problem for black Americans, the #blacklivesmatter scumbags have taken ambiguous cases and elevated them to practically legendary status.
Take the death of Eric Garner. The cops were trying to arrest him for illegally selling cigarettes. The cops weren’t the ones who decided that should be illegal, but it’s their job to enforce the law. Garner resisted arrest, the cops used an appropriate amount of force subduing him and he died because of underlying health issues (“acute and chronic bronchial asthma, obesity, and heart disease.”)
You may think Eric Garner was choked to death because it takes lies like that for #Blacklivesmatter to justify its existence.However, it’s not true. In fact, the person most responsible for Eric Garner dying is Eric Garner. He was doing something in public that he knew would lead to an arrest if he was caught. Then he resisted arrest despite the fact that he knew he was in poor health and that being put down on the pavement could be particularly dangerous for him. It’s genuinely sad that such a small infraction led to a series of events that caused Eric Garner’s death, but it was his own fault.
Then there’s Mike Brown. If you believe #Blacklivesmatter, he was a gentle giant who was innocently strolling home and then was needlessly shot to death by an officer while his hands were up. Except none of that is true. Brown had just robbed a convenience store and was killed by an officer he was attacking in an attempt to take his gun.
Yet, what do we hear? “Hands up, don’t shoot!” “That could be my son!” “What if I’m next?” It’s all garbage – well, unless you’re a criminal who’s resisting arrest or more likely, trying to kill an officer. There are actual statistics on this that show how silly this whole hysteria has become.
In 2015, 990 people in the United States were killed by police officers. Of those 990 shootings, 730 of them happened while an attack was in progress. The majority of them were black, right? Wrong. 494 were white and 254 were black. Just to put those numbers in perspective, there were 468 murders in CHICAGO alone in 2015.
Put another way, not only are black men far more likely to be shot by other black men than police officers, there’s a better chance that a black American who obeys a cop’s instructions will be struck by lightning than there is that he will be shot by a police officer.
Does that mean the police never make mistakes? Nope, they do. Does it mean that bad or careless cops who kill someone without good reason should be able to avoid justice? Nope. Does it even mean that there isn’t anything that the police can be doing better? Nope. I’m a big proponent of more police officers using body cameras and many police departments need better training when it comes to dealing with the mentally ill.
When #Blacklivesmatter sleazeballs preach so much hatred against the police that we have snipers shooting the cops in Dallas and people applauding that on Twitter, they’re getting people killed.
When the #blacklivesmatter scumbags get a community so hyped up to hate the police that it makes it impossible for the police to do their jobs, it almost forces the cops to pull back. This leads to huge increases in criminal activity which gets people killed.
When the #blacklivesmatter dirtbags convince black Americans that the police are all racists and any encounter with them could be fatal, it makes people extremely nervous, fearful and edgy. Nervous, fearful and edgy people may do extremely stupid things – like resisting arrest, refusing to listen to the cops or going for a weapon when all they need to do is keep calm and let the cops do their work. This gets people killed.
It’s great that a white guy pretending to be black like Shaun King got a NY Daily News column out of this, that some of the #blacklivesmatter idiots are getting the attention they crave and the Democrats are getting a few more votes from black Americans, but how many more Americans have to die for it?
Well said. I can only hope most Americans can see BLM for what they really are........
If they want a race war then bring it on, it will only end badly for them...
It isn’t just BLM. How about we do away with all race groups? i.e. the Black Caucus, NAACP etc. How about we do way with the teaching of white hatred in our schools, MSM, Hollywood...
You can’t have whites be ‘colorblind’ and otherwise tie whitey’s hands behind their backs and then allow other races to embrace, teach and imbibe in all kinds of race based BS.
Multiculturalism is an abysmal and dangerous failure.
Obama, the anarchist, wants a race war and he is going to get one. He and the Left win when they pit the races against each other. We know that, but there is still going to be a race war.
How long before the Southern Poverty Law Center declares BLM a hate group?
Most Americans do. I don't know of any black communities that embrace these marches and protests happening where they live.
I don't think this is original thinking, why people are seriously afraid for the future. BLM started as a movement to protest questionable shootings by police, many of them with the facts that led up to them manipulated or ignored to create good TV news. It was mostly stupid white liberals, including college kids, who know what's best for people who aren't like them. It was allowed to get out of control....it was NEVER okay to block roads, intersections, access to buildings, it was NEVER okay to allow the protestors to let off steam. They all should've been arrested because they didn't have proper permits to march or organize a protest. At that point, the "movement" got taken over by black radicals who are working for those who strive to control black voting for their political agenda. Now we're at the tipping point all sane folks in the real world feared. The movement is enabling ISIS type thinking and extreme black racist radicals to overwhelm the agenda.
Meanwhile, the elitist establishment Republicans still have schemes going on to STEAL the nomination that has been determined by Republican primary voters. Are they insane? At some point, mainstream US anger is going to reach that tipping point.
This isn't a threat. It's a valid concern that all of us real people have. I know that what I've expressed here is beyond obvious for regular freepers. The purpose of this is to put it all in one place for those who are new to following this or aren't as versed in it as most regular freepers are.
They are being funded by soros and major corporations in this country, millions of dollars. This is a political arm to destabilize the united states
Curious how there is so little information on the shooter/shooters in Dallas.
If it had been a Republican NRA member I’m pretty sure we’d be hearing about it 24/7.
“black Americans have always had a more hostile relationship with the police than other groups..”
Says a lot doesn’t it? Perhaps, if the blacks REALLY wanted to improve their image, they would try obeying our laws and avoid being criminals, act like wild animals, looters, thieves, street rats and plain domestic terrorists.
Well, Billy Ayers, Obama’s alter ego, wanted 25 million.
But the country was much smaller then...
This writing is useless except as preaching to a flock that already believes. It doesn’t actually engage.
Great article. I think there are two forces in play here: The Washington Caliphate that flames race relations and the press. The press are the biggest sc#mbags because they deliberately alter facts to get the biggest reaction from the thugs out there, and now it’s led to the mass shooting of cops.
You’ll be waiting a long time.
Time to make it a automatic Federal Death Penalty offense.
And put this group on the Terrorist list.
“Well said. I can only hope most Americans can see BLM for what they really are........”
People see what they want to see, not what is there. If they notice something that does not go with their internal narrative, they ignore it. BLM is a creation of the media. It was especially noticeable during the Zimmerman trial. He somehow became white. Treyvon became a saint. Facts do not matter.
The media is the modern lynch mob. They are the ones shouting fire in a crowded theater.

Milwaukee Sheriff: Obama ‘Started This War on Police’

Celebrate articles like this one - John Hawkins has written a hard truth and he didn't bother to sugar-coat it. That's a huge step forward. If there's ever a chance at solving race problems in America BOTH sides must tell the hard truth... It can't be blacks whining in massive pity parties with whites nodding their heads in agreement while thinking 'what idiots these people are'. That's wrong.
Some of what blacks are saying SHOULD be taken seriously. They do have a few points that are legitimate. Not anywhere near as many as they think... but there are some. We must give them the dignity of taking them seriously - talking with them honestly - not just nodding then walking away laughing - like 'liberal' do with them... They're Americans and deserve better from us.
Hats off to John Hawkins for helping start the real conversation about race.
We can handle this and we can take it all the way to DC and purge the cesspool.
America is weed bound like an overgrown garden and the time to clean it is now.
