His life didn't even matter to him, so if BLMâ„¢ is going to use him as a martyr, they'll destroy the message even further. Here's them doing it by blocking the freeway:

Really? So if you're a bad guy who got arrested, shooting you after you're in cuffs doesn't matter?


Of course it matters to me. I just don't believe the deceased in this incident or the incident itself are worthy of the BLM message--one which I fully support, BTW. Beat your girlfriend, beat the paramedics trying to help your girl, then beat on the cops...nobody deserves to get shot for that, but when it happens, outrage and shock should be saved for the person who didn't hand-craft the situation.

IA This has all the earmarks of a incident the cliche, choose your battles wisely, is apropos.

IMO this is not a fight BLM should engage in.


This is exactly the fight they should engage in.


Yep. What matters is that an unarmed, HANDCUFFED man was killed by police. What he did to end up in 'cuffs is beside the point.


Indeed. Otherwise you are ceding the ground to the cops to kill "scumbags", and then of course they get to decide who those are.

Which is why I say Involvement in cases such as this call for discretion and have clear paths and reasons.

BLM has a great case to broaden their platform.

If evidence discloses he was handcuffed they should involve themselves in a higher degree, meaning, they shot a handcuffed person and include, that means they will shoot anyone, Caucasoid, Mongoloid or Negroid.
Taking that position may bring other ethnics into the fray with them
