      Cops killed a kid and you turned it into a rant on race. You are more upset about the media coverage than the murder. Why are you like this?

      You are so quick to get pissed off about an imagined scenario in your head that you ignore and then you’re apparently unable to keep it to yourself. How does this serve you?

      Think critically. I am not arguing your point, you can hate what you want. But what good does it do to rant about race and the media right now in this thread? For now, focus your anger on the perpetrators of the crimes.

      Furthermore, you’re in a community highlighting one of the issues you seem passionate about. Everyone here is on your side as far as police brutality goes. This is a place for making a big deal out of police killings regardless of the victim’s race…Be the media you want to see

        rant on race

        I’m not the one who turned police brutality into a goddamn race issue! 3 years ago, it was turned into a race issue by all the BLM clowns who dismissed police brutality against anyone other than black folks. What part of that can you not understand?? I’m calling out all the asswipes who were race baited back in 2020.

        You don’t fix a problem as wide spread as police violence by EXCLUDING a huge number of victims and then think you will get anywhere.

          Lots of people who support or identify with BLM have made it a point to say it happens to white people too. I’ve plenty of times pointed out the killing of Daniel Shaver, and I know I’m not the only one. If you haven’t heard us saying the problem affects everyone, then you aren’t listening. You’re hearing only what you want to hear; the parts that make you angry or justify your anger.

      It’s to this day absolutely incredible to me how angry some people get if you just say “Black lives matter”. This simple statement is enough to trigger people like you. Why? Why can’t we simply say “Black lives matter” without people like you jumping in and saying “all lives matter”?
