I live in GR but was out on vacation last week & just found out about this. I don't really know much about it yet.

I do know BLM has been at odds w/ the GR police department especially for a couple years now.
GR does not mean "Greece" - I suppose? :)

At first I thought so :)

Whatver it is, when I say "Black Lives Matter" I mean just that: that black lives do matter.

I think as Christians we can agree to omit the word “black” and just say that lives matter.

Ok I just watched the video on YouTube and I don’t know, it’s a tough situation to call. If Patrick had tasered the cop he could’ve gotten his gun. I can understand the officer not allowing that to happen because he’s fighting with some guy not knowing what he is capable of and I surely wouldn’t want to put my life in the hands of someone like Patrick who was willing to fight a police officer to escape going to jail. I have to say that the officer’s life was put in jeopardy and he did what he had to do.

Your source doesn’t give enough information to make a conclusion. It doesn’t offer the officer’s testimony.

That is NOT my fault!
That officer is still anonymous.

Btw: You can do your own research, if you are intererested.

I am living here in the Black Forest in Germany.
Those who live in the US have better opportunities to find out things.

I think you misunderstand the intention of that slogan!

In a long form it means: "All lives matter! And let's not forget, that black lives also matter, not only white lives!"

Wasn't blaming you my friend I was just making a point that we didn’t have enough information to reach a verdict based on what you provided.

Except for the fact that they remain silent when whites are killed by cops. They’re an anti white hate group.

That's not the message they conveyed when they were killing people in the streets during their riots last year.

Exactly those cops, who are murderous.

"Those cops" isn't very specific, and doesn't answer the question of which ones you're referring to.

"Those cops" means exactly what it means.

If you want to have the names of all those, you may google for them.

I am sure there is a list.

You were the one making the claim.
It would be your job to at least be specific as to who you're talking about, especially when you judge them as "murderous". Have they been charged or convicted of murder in a court of law? Court of public opinion doesn't count.

It is a pity that the sympathy in some cases lies with the murderer instead of with the murdered.

What "murderer" are you referencing now?

I was just talking to my wife the other day about the <Fe>Good Ol' Days,</Fe> when we could protest the absolutely evil way innocent black men were abused by police. These days we seem mostly to be protesting black men who are in the wrong being abused by police--the protest is over degree, not kind. Although there are certainly exceptions, it seems the number of completely innocent black men killed by police is equal these days to the number of innocent white men killed by police.

When shizzle is going down, particularly in hand-to-hand combat, everyone is fighting for their lives. What seems to be clear afterward is not clear at all within the fog of combat.
