Where I draw the line is not allowing Blue Lives Matter, or having
a issue with the term All Lives Matter why is that considered offensive?

I agree with you on all this. People seriously need to leave politics at home while they're at work. Getting work done matters. Skin color don't matter.

"All Lives Matter" is a phrase used to directly attempt to diminish "Black Lives Matter". All lives won't matter _until_ black lives matter.

"Blue Lives Matter" is dumb. No one but smurfs are born blue. My neighbor is an exceptional K9 officer, and he also thinks the phrase is stupid. Apparently most of his fellow officers do as well.

The types people would take issue with the Phrase "All Lives
Matter" They consider this to be equal to be an personal attack
upon them and as it would seem to generate the false outrage as if
to suggest that you're downplaying or proving a second seat for
Black Lives. I would call that taking it to extremes. The Black
Lives movement has stopped being about the downtrodden black folk
a long time ago, as it has morphed into an excuse commit angry
carnage that results in nothing but destruction and and even
death. These people are psychotic and full of fake rage. We need a
purge!

You've been watching the Fake News Media again. Cities are not burning, the craziness in Portland was limited to less than 2 city blocks.

Back off from the Tucker Carlson a bit. The _vast_ majority of BLM protests and marches are 100% peaceful.


I get that there's some hypocrisy here, and that the vast majority of police officers are also good people, but some professions just don't allow for that. You aren't going to fly an airline where 90% of the pilots land the plane, and 10% crash it. The pilots, like police officers, have to be perfect. Every time.

All races have issues, but not all races burn Target stores to the
ground and murder people to solve them.

It sounds dumb to people who think it's smart to make their own
problem into everyone's problem.

Once again, read what you just said back to yourself, very slowly. Think about WWI and WWII, Women's suffrage, slavery, almost any war ever fought, etc.

Every political movement ever was predicated on a small group of people making their voices heard, and convincing others to take up their cause.

Fighting a war is different from protesting. Although, the similarity is that people stand up for their own interests, not the interests of others.

Are we standing up to China for slavery? No! Why not? Because they are Chinese slaves and we don't really care. We also don't control the world's politics.

Do black people march in the streets to protest against Obama's children in cages? Nope! Why not? Because they don't give a crap.

Did we fight WWII because we felt bad for jewish victims? Nope! It was because the Japs attacked Pearl Harbor.

Can you fit in a medium-sized metal box with screwdrivers, pliers, and wrenches in it?
