The BLM movement and the issue of police behaviour is not       political. It is something that needs to be solved in the departments where       these problems exist.              There is no quick and easy solution that I know of.              >> The BLM protesters are protesting against the unjustifiable killing of unar       >> citizens by police officers.              > They only care about black citizens.              When someone says "Black lives matter", it means simply that. It does not mean       white lives don't matter.              > Police have to kill suspects sometimes.              There are so many guns in the streets of the USA it makes the job of police       hard and very dangerous. When a suspect threatens the life of an officer or       the general public then yes, he/she may have to use his gun to protect       him/herself or others. I hope that police don't use more force than necessary       to apprehend a suspect.              These situations are rare but they do happen.              > Sometimes police kill unarmed people in error. It's nothing new, and it's not       > only happening to black people. Police are killing people of every color.              That's a little more than an error.              > Some argue that it happens to blacks more than anyone else,              That is the case.              Racism or something else, I'm not sure.              > but that minimizes the deaths of other colors.              BLM is not minimizing deaths of other colours, I don't know why you take it       that way.              > Black lives matter to the media, but other colors not so much.              I assure you Aaron, your life also matters. Regardless of the colour of your       skin.              > More than 1 million people have died from coronavirus, but the media is       >telling us that "the coronavirus is killing more blacks than any other color."       > So then an idiot like Mike Bloomberg(D) hires is wife (Token black lady) to       > "battle the coronavirus attack on black people." Let's not worry about anyone       > except blacks because other colors are boring.              I have heard this although I have not looked at the facts and figures. I don't       think all the facts and figures are in yet, unfortunately.              The coronavirus is not racist. It will make people sick and some will die       regardless of their colour. Perhaps black people are more at risk and I do not       wish that on them, or anyone.       --- BBBS/Li6 v4.10 Toy-4        * Origin: The Rusty MailBox - Penticton, BC Canada (1:153/757.2)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 14/0 80/1 88/0 90/1 103/705 105/81 120/340 123/131       SEEN-BY: 153/0 105 135 757 802 6809 154/10 203/0 218/700 221/0 1 6       SEEN-BY: 221/360 226/30 227/114 229/101 424 426 700 1016 1017 240/1120       SEEN-BY: 240/5832 249/206 317 261/38 280/464 5003 282/464 1038 288/100       SEEN-BY: 292/854 8125 301/1 113 310/31 317/3 322/757 335/364 342/17       SEEN-BY: 342/200 396/45 423/81 120 712/848 770/1 801/188 197 202 900/100       SEEN-BY: 900/106 108 902/6 7 25 26 27 920/1 2452/250 3634/12 4500/1       SEEN-BY: 5058/104       PATH: 153/757 221/6 1 280/464 292/854 301/1 80/1 902/27 90/1 229/426           |
