> cops lives matter AND civilian lives matter
This isn't an issue that needs a middle ground. Black Lives Matter never said that cop lives don't. It didn't need to be said that cop lives matter because cops were already treated as though their lives mattered. When a cop gets killed nobody says "Well, he probably had it coming".
- brandon272 10y agoBLM should really have been called Black Lives Matter Too
- mcv 10y agoThat would certainly have cleared up this confusion where some people seem to read it as "Only Black Lives Matter". Nobody ever said that, but opponents seem to be arguing that that's what BLM means.
- komali2 10y ago>Well he probably had it coming I've witnessed people saying exactly that. You can't argue that anti-cop violence is any less real of a problem than anti-black violence. What about the shooting in Dallas?
