And this is why you fail, and why so many distrust you.

This is the problem with BLM. They were formed for the right reason, by they've taken it way too far.

[Santander]

Once again, BLM finds itself on the wrong side of an issue, and then throws out incendiary rhetorical bombs. The sooner these radicals are shunned from the mainstream, the better.

They should spend more time in the middle of the road.

Well, it only encourages anti-police sentiments if you're telling people to hold cops accountable for police shootings.

Excellent news!

generally i would think that holding groups accountable for their actions is more important than protecting their feelings…?

Unignoring you for just one second.

False dichotomy much?

Neither the people in Kansas nor BLM said anything about "making friends".  And BLM never told those people not to go to the picnic.  Anyone is free to go to a picnic with cops if they want.  BLM said the event was not sanctioned by them.  Any group can pick which events they choose to officially sanction.

Also there is a strategy called killing people with kindness.  I think the strategy employed by the police in Kansas was a good one.  It defuses the situation and makes them look like the people who took the high road.  It is what I would have done if I was the police chief there.  It's a lot more effective then being an antagonistic ahole.  Now does that strategy address BLM's goals?  No, not necessarily.  It's totally fine for BLM to say they wish to pursue other strategies that will be more likely to achieve their goals.  Optics suck but that's how gamesmanship works.  And I'm sure there were tons of police officers who wanted to do the cookout not as a strategy but because they genuinely care about their community.

I mean if Hillary Clinton invited Trey Gowdy to a weenie roast I doubt he would go.

Holding cops accountable for their actions is not a bad thing. Refusing to be friends with somebody just because they're a cop is very bad.

The good thing is despite the false title no one said anything about not being friends with cops.  Read the article.

Yeah... they don't want BLM members to hold discussions with police on how things could be better, or go to trust-building BBQ's... only to "hold them accountable." And probably not for the good that they do.

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

You can have friendly relations with the police WHILE holding the bad elements accountable, no?

How is that racist?   

But then again of course I will be labeled a racist after pointing out similarities between the two. Despite that fact that I'm actually AA.    Ok yeah, I'm racist against my own race and its great to know that a white man has to accuse me of that.

black people should be held accountable for crimes. muslims should be held accountable for terrorists. don't make friends with black people or muslims.

Why don't you actually refute it instead of trying to be witty? The point Intell makes is that a whole group shouldn't be held accountable for the actions of the few. Individuals should be held accountable, not entire groups. What's wrong with that line of thinking?

Personal responsibility is not a term the far-left is very fond of.

[President Johnson]

Epic fail. Racism towards the law enforcement officers, of whom most are doing a good job; risk their lives every day. BLM discriminates/dennounces the entire police for a few bad apples. Bad!
