Perhaps they were "Karmatized" in the flood and still missing?

Do you even try to determine the substance of people's posts before you offer a truly uninformed response? Failure to do so tends to make one look like an idiot.

BTW, you may want to move from under your bridge to high ground. I hear the water is rising.

I thought they were a very specific group focused on one issue. I didn't realize they are more than that with broader expectations.

On a related note I was astonished to find the local chapter of unicef never helped anyone during super storm sandy.

FWIW, I think you deflected from th intent of the op.

Like the person in the video, I too question the motives of BLM. If black lives really mattered why haven't it's members been down here helping the very lives that are supposed to matter? Ninety-five percent on my city has flooded. By definition 95% of the black families who live here flooded. I've been all over town in the aftermath both as a citizen and a reserve police officer. I haven't seen the first BLM tee shirt. But, I have seen people from all over this nation wearing their respective identifying clothing and what I have seen color blindness in terms of membership as well as those whom they've offered assistance to.

Because while their name is black lives matter their purpose is specific to police abuse/misconduct against blacks. No more no less. That's why they take offense to all lives matter etc. of course all lives matter but they are focusing on one issue.

We may want them to be something else but they are not.

I'm not particularly a fan of the group but at least get that nuance. Their choice of name among other things gets in the way. Their focus isn't all encompassing like those not in the group would like.

If their name was stop police abuse this wouldn't be in question here.

Not deflecting just understanding said purpose of group.

Their sole focus is to stop police violence against their community not to do anything about everything else that plagues their communities including natural disasters or even black on black crime. That's not to say it's mutually exclusive and members of blm can't and don't do both. But the group itself has a singular purpose.

I certainly can't speak for what happened in other places, but I can speak to certain events that took place in Baton Rouge. For the most part we are aware members of BLM made their way to Baton Rouge to raise awareness of a thug who refused to comply with lawful police commands, put his hand into his pocket and very possibly fired a pistol right before he was shot and killed.

Of course there were many protests. He was hailed as a father, an entrepreneur and a gentle soul. However, what hasn't been reported is why he was not in jail though having been booked on criminal charges earlier this year in which a life sentence was a very real possibility. Nor has the media reported whether or not the DVD's he was selling were copies legitimately aquired from a licensed distributor or copied on a personal duplicator. Nothing has been reported about the possibility that DVD's weren't the only items for sale when the incident occurred.

During these "peaceful" protests, many police officers whom I've had the distinct pleasure of serving with, both black and white, were hit with rocks and other debris by a group of people who ran away as said police officers chased them in response to them hurling objects at them. A number of those "peaceful protestors" were apprehended and booked into jail. When their booking photos were taken a number of these debris throwing "peaceful protestors" were wearing BLM tee shirts.

So keep drinking the koolade if it makes you fell good. But, I suggest you become better informed otherwise you're just just like the rest of the clueless riders on the bandwagon.

Sorry, but you are mistaken. BLM is a movement that comes into a volatile situation, ratchets up the rhetoric, helps destroy property in the very neighborhoods of those they say they are seeking to help, then they leave. It would be more accurate to compare them to Rev. Al coming in town driving an 18 wheel tank trailer full of gasoline.

You do know that my kid is a white cop in a black suburb, right?

However, you understood my post as well as you understood my Chicago River whitefish post back when you were a nood.
Went right over your head.

You couldn't have said that with a straight face....Purpose IS to incite violence, they're no longer willing to allow the facts to be gathered in any case before resorting to violent rioting ( I will NOT refer to it as protesting cuz it isn't )

If you say so

I'm not defending them in any way. If you say that's their purpose good on you.

I haven't forgotten about your son. In fact, I recall you saying how you weren't sure about what needed to be done about guns, but that you were concerned for your sons safety when he went to work. All feelings I can relate to and totally respect.

As far as missing the purpose of your post, that's entirely possible. I've got a lot on my plate at the moment. I also lost a friend because a POS thug chose to fight the police and died. So forgive me if I'm insensitive to your sarcasm. I just don't find the humor when three friends of mine were shot. One of whom died, one who is on life support and one who has already had 3 surgeries, has more scheduled and is looking at months of rehab afterwards.

It's just my opinion, but maybe we need less sarcasm and more introspection so we can find a path forward.

Sorry there will be no lol emote as I don't find anything remotely funny as far as this golf is concerned.

You know I remember certain people who were quick to point out nazi flag waivers at Teaparty Rallies, only to find out later they were plants and say nothing.

And now we're pretending stuff isn't happening from within a group.

Good times. Good times.
