Black Lives Matter had nothing to do with the shootings in Dallas

Last edited Fri Jul 8, 2016, 09:17 PM - Edit history (1)

Please keep that in mind. BLM is about peaceful protests not violent retaliation.

What happened in Dallas doesn't change the fact that black folks are dying for no good reason, being shot by Police all the time

…threatens the well being and lives of all BLM demonstrators nationwide because of police who may want to strike back.

Also, the MSM is now talking primarily about the dead policemen. Not about the Black men who were shot by policemen. It's back to the meme of BlueLM.

Not helpful.

This is what is being terrorized tonight. This is what we have to preserve and continue. Not the fear. NOT the fear.
