Show us one single press release by, or video of a spokesperson from the main BLM hub/website denouncing this kind of stuff (mass murder of cops, murder of random whites/cops, rioting, beatings of whites/cops, destruction of property, videos of BLM marchers calling for violence/murder against cops/whites).
And all any of you could find was one little whimper of a blog on the main site that just barely spoke against violence/murder (from after the 'original' mass murder event).
The Black Lives Matter Network advocates for dignity, justice, and respect.
In the last few days, this country witnessed the recorded murders of Alton Sterling and Philando Castile at the hands of police, the latest victims in this country’s failed policing system. As we have done for decades, we marched and protested to highlight the urgent need to transform policing in America, to call for justice, transparency and accountability, and to demand that Black Lives Matter.
In Dallas, many gathered to do the same, joining in a day of action with friends, family, and co-workers. Their efforts were cut short when a lone gunman targeted and attacked 11 police officers, killing five. This is a tragedy–both for those who have been impacted by yesterday’s attack and for our democracy. There are some who would use these events to stifle a movement for change and quicken the demise of a vibrant discourse on the human rights of Black Americans. We should reject all of this.
Black activists have raised the call for an end to violence, not an escalation of it. Yesterday’s attack was the result of the actions of a lone gunman. To assign the actions of one person to an entire movement is dangerous and irresponsible. We continue our efforts to bring about a better world for all of us.

I gave you a link directly to their main site calling for an end to violence.
No matter what you are presented with, I fear you will not be satisfied.

That's more like damage control (like you guys are doing here, everywhere their name gets uglied).
That does give them a leg to stand on. But not two!

They are animals. Those are not civilized people. I do not care what their color is but they do. They were attacking white people. Large groups of people burned down 3 buildings and were attacking white people only.
NAME one city in the US in the last 8 years where hundreds of white people walked through a neighborhood, burned buildings and screamed Kill all 'n-word's. You cannot.
Like when the one protester, standing in the middle of the road was hit and a womans car was shot up. It was not intentional and because of the persons dumb ass actions BOTH could be dead.
The ONLY person who can make a difference is the Black president, the black AG who is the head of the DOJ or maybe the black DHS number one. 3 highest law offices in the land held by black people and you want to call a white person racist?

Seriously, you shouldn't accuse people of something when you miserably fail at understanding what they are even saying.
"It's more disgusting that the media is polishing the tarnish off on these groups."
Try again, without excuses. Show me where there is racism in this.

If you can do that then you might have a leg to stand on in insisting this kind of stuff this year stuff isn't the results of BLM methods.

Dude you must understand the progressive langue. Like "Affordable Health Care". When they say call for and end of violence they mean and end to the violence against them. Not fro an end to violent protest.

Can you provide evidence that BLM "make them think they are entitled to commit crimes against "whitey""?

The fact that you need evidence, aside from the overwhelming evidence you can see openly available in mainstream media, informs everybody where your loyalties lie. You're not fooling anyone. You can be a rational thinker or you can bury your head in the sand and throw in with the miscreants. You can't pretend to be objective while denying reality.
