After reviewing my last post, I realize an addendum is appropriate. Let me start by saying that my opposition to the Black Lives Matter movement stems from my support of law enforcement--a profession comprised of people of all colors--not due to a belief that black lives do not matter.
My ongoing criticism of BLM is due to what appears, at least, to be their insistence that all cops are flawed and need to be retrained or tossed out altogether. I also have a problem with those BLM members who openly call for the killing of police officers. Finally, I take issue with any group that appears to care more about criminals than those who have truly been victimized. It's understandable that citizens want accountability for the actions of public servants, but for the most part, people are victimized by other citizens, not cops. So if I seem dismissive, I really am not. I am just standing up for those who spend their lives protecting all of us.
