Its amazing you can take the message of "cops shouldn't kill people" and spin it to be about killing the cops. It's a view of the world detached from reality.

The message was really "COPS ARE KILLING BLACK PEOPLE," yet most people killed by police are white (somehow none of these ever seem to merit national, 24/7 news coverage), and while a disproportionate number killed are black, they also commit a disproportionate amount of violent crime and have more violent encounters with police.

  I don't know about stats but lets see the big picture: they were brought over as slaves, abused for generations, and then put in shitty economic environments where there is no education, only poverty. Crime goes hand in hand with poverty, and it builds stereotypes and biases that makes it easier for incarceration which in America is just privatized slave labor market who makes mundane everyday items.

    >I don't know about stats That's typical of BLM supporters. Even intelligent, supposedly scientifically minded people no longer see fit to consult the raw data. They know it's out there, somewhere, but that they're not supposed to look at it. > Crime goes hand in hand with poverty Race is actually a better predictor of crime than poverty. But it should be obvious by now that a large part of the disparity is due to the media inciting hatred for whites amongst blacks. Look at the recent spate of "random attacks" (there's nothing random about them) in NYC in the last few months: > https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-54396065 https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-54396065 > https://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/local/stranger-randomly-bashes-woman-with-brick-in-manhattan-police-say/2799320/ https://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/local/stranger-randomly-bash... > https://nypost.com/2021/01/06/man-busted-for-series-of-attacks-on-women-in-nyc-subway-station/ https://nypost.com/2021/01/06/man-busted-for-series-of-attac... > https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6jfN1kXPiak https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6jfN1kXPiak Do you seriously believe this would be happening if the media weren't constantly propagandizing black people with a narrative of "unprovoked violence against innocent PoC by white racists?" I plan on leaving NYC sometime before 2024, since I assume the media will again create another "long, hot summer" to increase Democratic turnout, regardless of how many "random" attacks it incites.

It doesn't take any spin to get that message from the graffiti all around Portland; it's pretty explicit about what to do to cops.
