BLM are not serious people.  They are people who perpetuate the narrative that the real enemy of black folks is the police, and refuse to discuss the fact that blacks (according to statistics) commit a greater share of violent crimes than any other group per capita, as if that fact has nothing to do with the well-being of black folks (particularly in lower income neighborhoods).  Serious people in this area have open minds, and who wish to see the issue from all sides.  That includes the side of Law Enforcement.

You honestly don't think BLM knows that?  There are more "Stop the Violence" marches and similar movements across neighborhoods and cities in this country than demonstrations against police brutality, plus Scared Straight programs, gang counseling, neighborhood watches, intervention specialists, youth counselors, faith-based initiatives, et cetera.  But those things don't make the evening news because they aren't as disquieting as people blocking traffic and protesting.  They also don't offend white people who watch football.

Another fun fact: the rate of violence is actually higher among poor white urban youth.  Why no talk of white-on-white crime?  Why are the All Lives Matter folks wasting time complaining about protests against state violence instead of cleaning up the messes their own backyard?

And if they do so without intending to harm others, they don't forfeit their right to live.  Eric Garner was literally calling out for his life when the thugs chokeholded him, even though he clearly posed no danger to anyone.

Police serve to protect.  We are not their subjects.

Well said.
