> See Daniel Shaver, who was recorded on camera being executed, unarmed in his underwear, begging for his life, by a psycho cop. Literally the only substantial voice that stood up and went to bat for Daniel Shaver was BLM. You're right, police violence is far from isolated to Black people. Most BLM activists would agree that stopping police violence has multi-racial benefits!

>Literally the only substantial voice that stood up and went to bat for Daniel Shaver was BLM. I don't believe this is true. Can you like anything on BlackLivesMatter.com that touches on Daniel Shaver's death?

    Opinion articles and FB posts, none of which back up GP's "literally the only substantial voice" claim... So you couldn't find anything, thanks for making my point for me. Again, where is any official BlackLivesMatter material on Daniel Shaver?

      First off it's been over seven years, it's not hard to understand that black lives matter is a decentralized movement that is not centrally represented. The website is not the movement. Second, both of those "opinion pieces" have references to high profile black lives matter activists (deray, shaun king, etc) speaking out about Daniel Shaver, so that's about as official as you're going to get. Third, that "facebook post" documents an actual event organized by the family of Daniel Shaver, thanking the local blm chapter for their support. If you have a more substantial voice that has done more than blm in bringing attention to this issue in a productive way, feel free to bring that forward.

Can't see where it says any of that. Not that it matters, a FB post proves nothing of the GP's claim. This is Trump supporter-level reaching: "LOOK AT THIS FB PHOTO AS PROOF!" >If you have a more substantial voice that has done more than blm in bringing attention to this issue in a productive way, feel free to bring that forward. No, you make the claim, you supply evidence that supports that claim. Welcome to the Internet.
