Quote:Exactly.

 

 

The movement is about trying to raise one group of people up because they are supposedly treated unfairly by law enforcement officers.  The movement was founded because supposedly Michael Brown was "unjustly" killed.  It doesn't matter that he was a thug and the evidence proved that his death was justified.

And distilling it down to a single event regarding a single individual is doing exactly what I said. Minimizing/Dismissing/Demonizing.

 

Wrong person to use a starting point? Sure it was but there are plenty of other cases and data that show it's understandable why they are so upset. Disproportionate sentencing and arrests is one of many of issues compounding in their eyes. The idea that the right portrays, that it's their fault entirely, is in their opinion wrong hence why they are doing this and also why their slogan is important to them. Because it is literally the point of their cause. You can disagree with the cause or the motives behind, it regardless of what numerous studies show but I wager you do understand what I am saying. 

 

The profit prison system is a huge part of the movement and one most people probably agree on even though they may not like like the BLM folk.
