#BlackLivesMatter's War on Cops ... NOT!

[AthenaAwakened]

Many police officers and conservatives believe there there is a war on cops which is being fueled by Black Lives Matter or “social media rhetoric.” It turns out there are actually fewer police deaths than ever before. When adjusted for population, there has NEVER been a safer time to be a police officer. Is it possible that police are just exploiting the deaths of fallen officers in an attempt to demonize Black Lives Matter (and all critics), therefore bolstering the idea that the status quo of police conduct is acceptable? Cenk Uygur, host of the The Young Turks, breaks it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.

"While appearing on CNN's State of the Union, Scott Walker tried to blame President Barack Obama for not doing enough regarding the rhetoric used by a handful of protesters. From CNN:

"He's praised them, but he's not speaking out about the fact that this rhetoric out there," Walker said.

"And when you've got people say, we have people say 'pigs in a blanket' at a rally, 'fry 'em up like bacon,'" he said. "That's the kind of thing you need to speak out about. You need to say that is wrong.””*

Walker Ties Obama To Nonexistent War On Cops

Well then, obviously this needs to change.

The War on Cops is a bad move strategically. We should have maintained a non-imaginary-aggression pact until the War on Christmas was won, to avoid having to fight a Two Imaginary Front War.

This is particularly true given that the War on Christmas is mainly fought in severe winter conditions.

I'm losing track of all the things I'm supposed to be waging war against.

Only in a part of the country though.

Typically northerners help contribute during the war by volunteering their family's time for a week and head down south.

Loss of life is not the only result of 'wars'.

And the fact that police deaths are unusually low doesn't mean much if police deaths could be even lower without the anti-police vitriol that is most certainly coming from the Black Lives Matter movement.

Proof that BLM is responsible for police deaths?

You miss my point. You claimed that with fewer police deaths than usual the Black Lives Matter movement couldn't be contributing to the death of police officers.

But that's a fallacious argument because you can't really know whether BLM is contributing to the death of cops without considering how many police officers might die were it not for BLM shouting things like "pigs in a blanket, fry them up like bacon". It's very hard to imagine that none of the recent killings of police officers have been motivated by people inspired by the hatred BLM has for cops.

At the end of the day, the easiest way to disconnect BLM from the death of cops would be for BLM to stop calling for the death of cops.

Maybe you missed it, but some people have hated cops well before BLM ever came into existence.

Since most of data is for the time before BLM, I think it is a pretty safe conclusion that police deaths would not have been much lower.

No because BLMers could assassinate cops anyway.

Proof that BLM is responsible for police deaths?

You miss my point.

No, I didn't. You made a statement and I asked for proof of that statement. That is not an odd thing to happen.

You claimed that with fewer police deaths than usual the Black Lives Matter movement couldn't be contributing to the death of police officers.

No, I did not.

But that's a fallacious argument because you can't really know whether BLM is contributing to the death of cops without considering how many police officers might die were it not for BLM shouting things like "pigs in a blanket, fry them up like bacon".

Do you have any proof that directly connects a chant from the seventies to the death of police officers?

No, it isn't all that hard.

No, because first you have to prove that BLM is making people kill police. Can you?

 

[JonA]

The question you're asking is nonsense.

No one it's claiming that BLM is making people kill cops.

I'm not going to defend a position I don't hold.

As I pointed out, your position is undefensible.

You made a statement. I asked you to prove it. That is not nonsense. That is life.

No one it's claiming that BLM is making people kill cops.

So what are you saying? What is your point? And do you have any evidence that proof that point?

I'm not going to defend a position I don't hold.

I would settle for you defending a position you do hold. That would be great.

Do you have any proof that BLM is in anyway contributing to the unusually low death rate among police officers?

Even when a shooting is justified? Even when a suspect is armed and/or attacks the police? Should police only be allowed to use deadly force against non-black suspects?

Hell, even when a suspect is armed and points a gun at the police (like in the case of Nate Wilks of Oakland) #BLM are still protesting and calling it "murder".

Shameful.

And complete nonsense to boot.

White or black, police don't simply run around shooting innocent people for the fun of it. Police killing folks happens in the context of crimes being committed.

If black people and white people alike want to stop getting killed by police, they should stop giving the police so many excuses to kill them.

That's what the police claim anyways . . . many times falsely it's found out later.

Police that are found to have lied about the circumstances of a shooting of a civilian should have their eyes put out.

Or just do what every other fucking country on the planet does and not have your cops kill so many people.

They pretty much do. As a percentage of the criminal population, whites are more likely than African Americans to expire at the hand of police.

Or to put it another way, when police go to interact with someone they suspect of a crime, they are more likely to kill that suspect if he's white than if he's black.

Hell, even when a suspect is armed and points a gun at the police (like in the case of Nate Wilks of Oakland) #BLM are still protesting and calling it "murder".

BLM is one of the most morally bankrupt 'civil rights' movements in recent times.

The death of thug, criminal, and cop-beater Michael Brown sends them into a furry; the regular deaths of innocent black folks at the hands of black criminals don't even register on their radar.

When the folks of BLM chant that "black lives matter", it's very clear they aren't talking about innocent black lives, just other thugs and crooks like themselves.

Anyone who really believes that black lives matter should maintain a good distance 'twixt themselves and BLM.
