I still say most people are misinterpreting the motivation behind the movement.... "
True, but, what IS that movement? What Is the purpose ? What Is their Goal?
The fact that it started with Riots, Looting, and general chaos,
and that continued to many large cities, with exactly, the same,
has made many people think, that, ‘Movement', is about what happened in Ferguson.
(Which in the first outbreaks, May or not may been true.
But NOW, everybody knows, was biased on total LIES)
Here. No such, ‘violence has erupted’. Perhaps because of several things;
1. When a BLM march, descended on the Mall of America, (With OUT) permit.
Everyone that participated, was summarily arrested ! (MOA is Private Property)
2. When they marched down the street, in front of the State Fair, (With Permit),
they were told by the Fair, (which is private property, and Not subject to the ‘permit’)
If they go on the fair grounds, they Will be arrested!
3. Today, (With Permit, to march on the ROAD), I am guessing the Transit people, got their heads together, and decided; ’no way were they going to stay on the road, when they could move over 15 feet, and be on the rail line’.
So they arranged, Buses.
All three here, basically, non events. (Except for the Media trying to HYPE it)
Now I do, understand, the MOA one, where most had, ’their hands in the air’.
But the 2nd & 3rd ones ?
Where most STILL, were running around, with their, ‘Hands In The Air”.
Gosh, I think MOST of them can read, and know by now,
and through exhaustive investigation.
That, the, ‘Hands in the Air”, don’t mean a thing !
In fact, that is a primary reason they look so foolish.
(Well, unless they still believe, the Sun rotates around the Earth)
Now, if that group, has changed into a different, ideologically, great.
And, if that is to: “bring light to Police Violence”. Great.
(Just a little thing called the 1st amendment)
And it is, what this Country, and being a, Citizen of it, is all about.
In some cities, that may be a problem, in others it is probably is not.
A Policeman, is just a slice of life. Their are, ‘Bad ones, and Good ones’.
Just like, EVERY OTHER, profession.
But if that, IS, the Goal, Why the, “Hands in the Air”,
which is instantly, associated with, the LIES in Ferguson ?
If you want to, ‘protest’ something,
whether it be, ‘Police Violence’,
or, Bad , “M.C. Dealers”.
Get your, message, and, Act, together.
