You said to me , referring to you're above post , to keep in mind " if these black people that had lost their lives had the "proper action of authority , and had gotten Justice due theirs" , all of this would not have happened. I will say , It's a terrible tragedy when a black person or white person , ANY PERSON period loses their lives. What has been , and continues to be left out though , Is the fact that many of the blacks that have lost their life at the hands of a white police officer that we have seen in the past recent months, COULD have, more so than not , been prevented & Would have had the opportunity to get their "Proper action of authority , & Justice do theirs " again as you said earlier , HAD THE INDIVIDUAL INVOLVED ONLY obeyed the officer's commands , not tried to flee from a scene or resisted arrest , there would have been a lot different outcome , other than these tragedies we are now discussing . It's not only a tragedy for the family , losing their loved one , and having to live the remainder of their lives broken hearted from their loss , BUT NEVER MENTIONED , it's also a tragedy for the officer involved , having to live with the fact he took someone's life , and that officer also having to live with that tragic moment he was confronted to do his job that he swore to do . Yes , I realize there is a VERY SMALL handful of what we call bad cop's , that have been caught abusing their power , and when caught doing so , have been & should be held accountable to the fullest possible prosecution that can be handed down to them . BUT YOUR STATEMENT THAT BLM IS NOTHING MORE THAN A REBELLION IN DEFENSE FOR PEOPLE BEING MURDERED???? COME ON . That is not anywhere near an accurate explanation of what BLM IS , OR REPRESENTS. Actually , I don't believe anyone at this point can put a thumb on what the "BLM " is trying to represent , including themselves ! Radical , out of control , lawless is what first comes to mind if someone was to ask me .

I agree it is a tragedy all the way around, but try not to see the actions of the minority speak for the whole, or do these few bad cops ruin the reputation of all, of course not, correct? For example did the actions of the violent attack on the capital speak for the whole of the right? People do get outraged usually when they see no resolve and no control in preventing the same actions. I think we all need to calm down and resist the temptation to lash out.
