Discussion for article #239240
It’s generally not a good idea to open fire on the police.
I know this shouldn’t be much of a revelation, but some people still don’t get it.

This is how you lose everything. It’s how the Palestinian’s lost everything and how these guys in Ferguson will. If they cannot differentiate themselves from the violence they claim to be against they have no movement. If BLM continues molesting the only candidate running that is 100 % in favor of their movement and the folks in Ferguson want to verify the “thug” angle they’ve lost it all and authority wins.
Sorry. Please amplify the “BLM” reference for me.
I am continually surprised in that regard. You just don’t f*** around with people with guns, I don’t care who they are - police, rednecks. It ends badly.

There’s some truth to it, but this is pretty close to the “why don’t good Muslims condemn bad Muslims” argument.
I generally agree with your premise about #blacklivesmatter activists co-opting Sanders speeches when he’s the one candidate with real civil rights cred, but to your first point I would say that it’s not more incumbent upon Ferguson protestors to condemn the violence than it is for whites to condemn the practices that lead to the despair, which leads to the violence. I’m also not entirely convinced yet that some of the activists at Bernie’s speeches aren’t plants.
I notice the headline on the discussion page does not match the article. It is a more realistic statement and is not in the “police kill blacks” format. Police shoot idiots that shoot at them.
