BLM may not have directly murdered anybody but neither did Charles Manson.
Yes he did.
Manson may have personally murdered someone but, that's not what he was convicted of. He was convicted of murder by proxy (not sure what the exact legal term is).

Conspiracy to commit murder. The book Helter Skelter by Bugliosi, lays out the comes he was responsible for, but not charged with.

But they did protest over the deaths of black men being shot. Did they protest over police officers being shot? No.

I watched this last night and wished I had my time back. I thought they were both obnoxious.

His first question is, "Did they protest or have any riots over the deaths of police officers in Dallas or Baton Rouge?"
BLM didn't murder any police.

Are you pro police officer deaths?

BLM certainly isn't helping when it comes to the rhetoric that is flying all over the mainstream and social media.
However before the police get out their violins and start complaining about all the crap they get. They have to remember that the atmosphere present is one THEY CREATED.
It falls under reaping what you sow. I certainly don't condone violence in either direction.
However taking responsibility for and acknowledging their share of the events that got us to this point is something that needs to be done. You can't fix a problem if you don't know what went wrong. Police, by and large, still like to deflect and marginalize these issues. Not just when it comes to the black community but the public as a whole.
