    Inconvenient facts. More whites are killed by police, proportionately, than blacks.

    Obama bears great responsibility for promoting the false narrative.

    https://www.wsj.com/articles/the-myth-of-systemic-police-racism-11591119883?mod=opinion_lead_pos5

    the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences:
    “no significant evidence of antiblack disparity in the likelihood of being fatally shot by police,”

    In 2019 police officers fatally shot 1,004 people, most of whom were armed or otherwise dangerous. African-Americans were about a quarter of those killed by cops last year (235), a ratio that has remained stable since 2015. That share of black victims is less than what the black crime rate would predict, since police shootings are a function of how often officers encounter armed and violent suspects. In 2018, the latest year for which such data have been published, African-Americans made up 53% of known homicide offenders in the U.S. and commit about 60% of robberies, though they are 13% of the population.

    The BLM "movement" was founded on two lies: the supposed "murders" of Trayvon Martin and Mike Brown, both killed in the act of attempted murder.

    Proof of Martin's murderous intent came out in the trial of his killer, when the prosecution's star witness detailed how he discussed his plan to ambush and attempt to kill George Zimmerman while speaking to her on the phone as Zimmerman followed him. Brown's autopsy records and the evidence on the scene proved without a doubt that he attempted to wrestle a police officer's firearm away from him through the window of a patrol vehicle, then attacked the officer outside the vehicle, earning himself a trip to the morgue.

    Until BLM owns up to the false narrative they push as an organization, they'll never have an ounce of respect from me.

    “Rather I should die a thousand times, and see Old Glory trampled in the dirt never to rise again, than to see this beloved land of ours become degraded by race mongrels, a throwback to the blackest specimen from the wilds.” — Former Klansman and current US Senator Robert Byrd, a man who is referred to by many Democrats as the “conscience of the Senate”, in a letter written in 1944, after he quit the KKK.

    “I am a former kleagle of the Ku Klux Klan in Raleigh County and the adjoining counties of the state …. The Klan is needed today as never before and I am anxious to see its rebirth here in West Virginia …. It is necessary that the order be promoted immediately and in every state of the Union. Will you please inform me as to the possibilities of rebuilding the Klan in the Realm of W. Va …. I hope that you will find it convenient to answer my letter in regards to future possibilities.” — Former Klansman and current US Senator Robert Byrd, a man who is referred to by many Democrats as the “conscience of the Senate”, in a letter written in 1946, after he quit the KKK.

    False or not I don’t even care. Multiple agencies and government officials are ignoring and trampling on the Constitutional rights of our fellow Americans and that is as big of a problem as the criminal element using the majority of peaceful protestors as cover.

    Would you mind being more specific?

    Rights to free speech, peaceably assemble, etc... like what happened on the Margaret Hunt Bridge here in Dallas. It’s a problem. You don’t just have free speech if you’re 100% right. I’d say if anything many departments are proving the protestors correctly worried.

    Blocking a roadway is not an aspect of the first amendment. At that point it is a violation of someone else’s right.


    People are free to be wrong or stupid. But it should be pointed out when they are which the OP did. Although there was no mention of forcing their stupidity to be silenced.

    They have a right to assemble and peaceably protest.
    What they do not have a right to do is dictate who can travel where, shut down highways, try to force people to march with them or attack people in their vehicles for no reason. Or to take over parts of any town or city and destroy or steal other peoples property.
    In some places once they shut down freeways and people were nice enough to stop instead of running them over, they attacked. That's peaceful?????

    blocking roads is illegal, because it prohibits peoples free passage and it is dangerous. Has nothing to do with peaceful protest.

    Start putting yourself in their shoes and then ask yourself if you wanted to stop a convoy of tyrants coming to seize your guns if you would like to be able to protest on the road as well. Whatever rights you won’t afford others you don’t deserve yourself.

    Mind you, the minute they attack an innocent driver they are now acting criminally, IMO.

    I disagree. Think Tianamen Square.

    Complete non-sequitur here. You're comparing apples to communist tanks. The thing your argument lacks is any actual "convoy of tyrants". People trying to get to work, get home, or potentially get an injured relative to the hospital are not "tyrants", but people blocking their fellow citizens' access to homes, businesses and hospitals sure come close to that description.

    The point of the protest is to get the leaders and the people’s attention. It *should* make you uncomfortable and if your comfort and peace is more important than their right to assemble in a manner that gets their voice heard for redress of their grievances then I won’t cry when your 2A rights aren’t defended by others, either. We need to hold all of the articles of the US and Texas Bill of Rights on equal footing. If you don’t want “infringement” on the 2A, don’t limit “where” a peaceful protest can take place on public property.

    Rhino, are protestors blocking a public highway, peacefully protesting? (Assuming no other acts of violence or aggressiveness takes place).

    I think so, just like if they surrounded the town square in a small town, which is likely the central hub of the road system.

    40 some odd unarmed people were shot by police in 2019, pretty sure its 2019 stat. Only 9 were black. 20 something were white the rest of various races.

    Those stats are from the FBI crime stats for the year. These numbers are from over a million arrests in the year.
