I'm pro-police reform. I don't like Black Lives Matter. Most people who associate with the label freak the hell out when anyone brings up the idea that White people are negatively impacted by the police as well, even if you make sure to categorically preface every such comment with "while absolutely Black people have it worse". 1) It's bad policy. Police harassment of people who happen to be White is bad and should be stopped 2)  It's bad politics. How are you ever going to get laws passed (that's what we want right?) when you needlessly and aggressively exclude 70% of the population from your discussion?

Additionally, most BLM matter activists I have met have been total idiots who call for police abolishion, prison abolishion, and deny that there's any problem with Black crime rates. I'll give the movement the benefit of the doubt that they are not a majority but they are a pretty sizable minority and no one ever calls them out.
