>>94396694That came later. The blue lives matter shit started simply in reaction to the blm shit, and in the vein of "people are saying mean things about cops but cops aren't all bad so I must defend them". Again, I'm not gonna defend the BLM bullshit, just pointing out that this blue stuff is retarded.
The problem is still a lack of accountability for cops. People who shoot at cops are held accountable. They've got one of the few good unions too who are so good that you can do the most horrific things as a cop and at worst only be taken off the force and given an office job somewhere.
You shoot at a cop though and that's it for you. The cops don't need a movement to defend themselves, they're pretty secure there. The movement is just a dumb oppositional one.
>>94396696See, I thought the same, but after getting to really know some black guys who grew up with that, most of the "teaching" to hate cops is coming from the cops themselves, not their community. They disrespect and ignore police as a result of police giving them the same and worse.
Everyone is telling them to listen to cops. But they still get shit from cops. They do what they're told, disobey, doesn't matter. Results are the same for them. So no, it's mostly the police to blame in this one. That and maybe the war on drugs.
