And let’s be clear almost all the so called deaths by policemen are when a criminal is resisting arrest.

I just spent time looking up Eric Garner’s case. You know the black man who started the “I can’t breathe” movement back in 2014. I mean even Lebron James and NBA players were wearing t-shirts saying “I can’t breathe”.

Do know the office who applied the chock hold was never indicted by the grand jury. He didn’t even go to trial. Even the Federal Government never brought civil charges against him.

I wondered why, so I loooked into the case. It turned out Eric Garner died due to an asthma attack. Eric Garner said “I can’t breathe” 11 times, but 10 of those times was after the officer had released his choke hold and Eric was having an asthma attack.

So this whole “I can’t breathe” movement really started as a protest against asthma. I bet most people wearing all those “I can’t breathe” t-shirts don’t even know that. They are protesting against asthma.

Oh, and another thing, Eric Garner was another career criminal. He’d been arrested 30 times for things like grand larceny and assault. It seems like the only lives the “Black Lives Matter” movement care about are career criminals.

I have yet to see protests against black policemen who die in the line of duty, blacks that die in drive by shootings, blacks who die from suicides due to the hopeless conditions the liberals created for them.

There is only one type of black life that matters to this group. The black who is a career criminal who dies while being arrested. That’s a strange cause to protest and riot for. Welcome to America 2020.
I'd start with kneeling on someone's neck for ten minutes. Shooting an unarmed person who is being compliant...there's a video where a cop is demanding that a dude crawl over to him, on his knees, with his hands clasped and behind his head without falling. That the kid is unarmed is the most obvious thing in the entire world. You guessed it, cops killed him. I'm not sure, but I think the cop got off.

Here it is:

I forgot, he had to keep his feet crossed as he crawled on his knees with his hands interlaced behind his head. Prosecution suggests he was trying to pull his shorts up so he could comply, he could have told the officer that, except the officer said he would be killed if he spoke.

When I say the officer got off, I don't just mean in his pants, he was also acquitted.

Didn't look like resisting to me! There's a video on the link.

---I wouldn't say he, "Started," the movement. Or, if he did, I don't think that was his intention.

I have yet to see protests against black policemen who die in the line of duty, blacks that die in drive by shootings, blacks who die from suicides due to the hopeless conditions the liberals created for them.
The last example aside, who would you protest against? Where would you protest at? Are you going to gather by the hundreds and walk around with signs that say, "END DRIVE-BY SHOOTINGS!"? There's no entity out there actively sanctioning drive-by shootings. You would actually have to know where the perpetrators are to go and protest against them.

With all due respect, your last sentence is too ridiculous to warrant a response.
