Oh yea, what have they done lately? You and the media point to the alt right, but it’s only the dumbass left causing destruction.
posted by geeblockAlso the people burning things are white people and aren’t blm in my op
The mass majority of white people who join BLM protests or go out of their way to let anyone know they support BLM, are doing it for themselves.

You should ask the governor of VA.
To answer your question though, society has done a pretty good job making the KKK irrelevant. I’m 33 and they have never been relevance in my lifetime. We have some older posters here, but I don’t think the KKK has been relevant since the early 70s (and that might be stretching it). You will have a piece by Vice and Huffpo every now and then trying to paint our entire country as a KKK fraternity, but that’s not even close to reality. If you’re looking for complete eradication, then you’re living in a fairytale. We will never rid the world of radical people. We still have people who wave the communist flag (which the organization of BLM supports its ideology) without realizing it’s just as bad as waving the nazi flag.
1. The silence by BLM to handle the optics of the cause has led most to just dismiss them as angry mobs of millenial POS that are going to burn shit down regardless because of chicken shit ran cities.
2. If BLM was serious they would be an outreach movement and start going into places and make real change. WOrk with local governments instead of protest them.
3. History will write this chapter and they will be the KKK type group that everyone hated and despised but wouldnt do anything about it.
I actually care about cops. In fact, I wish my area had more of them, but alas! just not enough money.
I think the idea of BLM was jacked from the very beginning with the riots, destruction, violence and looting.
antifa never does favors.
There are many areas in which policing can be improved, some practices eliminated, etc. I think that's worthy of discussion, also. Defunding the police is fucking moronic in all shapes and forms.
Also, the pissing matches between white people being killed and black people being killed (both by police) is the type of goofy ass identitarianism that should die in a fire.

Just to add to your post:
Communism killed millions and millions more people than the Nazi's could ever dream of. But the left won that particular propaganda war.
I've been doing the deep dive, jumping into all of the rabbit holes of critical theory and by extension critical race theory. It's not that hard to understand it once you get all the nuts and bolts of it, do some cursory remembrance of some philosophers. I can easily see how young people got caught up with it.
I was fortunate enough to get my education before critical race theory blew up and became a thing. Between CRT, Theory and communism, which younger people have just been continuously dunked in, I can easily see why so many people get caught up in the mob.
There's a reason why political ideologues, credit card companies and cults love to prey on young people.
I'm sure it was posted before, but for some odd reason it was floating around social media again. It's from a Harvard study and was posted on June 3.
"When police were investigated following incidents of deadly force that had gone viral, police activity declined and violent crime spiked. It happened in Ferguson, Mo., after Michael Brown was shot by an officer. It happened in Chicago after a cop gunned down Laquan McDonald. And it occurred in Baltimore after Freddie Gray died in police custody," Riley wrote.
This woman is complaining, that they are using guns to keep her from looting their store...

YouTube removed the video you linked.
Could you give a re-cap of what happened?

Agreed unfortunately instead of having rational discussions we got riots and people calling for defunding/reduced funding. Rand Paul put forward a bill (The Juctice for Breonna Taylor Act) to eliminate no knock warrants and democrats voted against it.

And a less reasonable response. "Hey dont do that"......yea they will listen. How about you let the dogs lose on them?
LA Sheriffs:

No one tops the Polk County sheriff:
"if you point a gun at [cops] I guarantee we will shoot you".
“The people in Polk County like guns, they have guns, I encourage
them to own guns,” ...“And
if you try to break into their homes to steal, to set fires, I’m highly
recommending they blow you back out of the house with their guns,”
That sheriff quote might aggravate some people, but it doesn't bother me at all lol! I imagine it depends on where you live and what you're used to. I personally like the idea that my property line (or front door) lets the bad guy know where exactly he is safe and where he is not.
These morons are now protesting another “good” kill in Lancaster PA. Yet I’m supposed to take them seriously.

The cop should have waited to be stabbed before shooting him.
Wonder if there will be this cop mutiny like “okay if everything we do is wrong then fuck all yall, police yourselves while we stand by and watch”

Just caught this news today. Video is crazy. This is why I have always known why I'm "trigger-happy." I wouldn't have ran. I would have blasted right away.
The man was also autistic, and they left his body on the sidewalk for 2+ hours
Not saying the cop wasn’t justified, but not surprised to see those two things left out of the riveting discussion you guys are having on here.

Probably because neither of those things matter to this situation at all?

Among the most disgusting things I've ever heard about. Not only was the shooter an animal, so are these.
