[@Terranthetea]

I think people are absolutely ignorant to disagree with his protest. One of their claims is that “he is disrespecting the military”. If anything he is honor our military by using his right that was fought for by soldiers. In America we are supposed to be treated equally, have the same rights and equally justice, and if this is not shown in America all the time then what are we standing for? We’re are standing for a lie or what America “should be” instead or “what it is”. The sad and hard truth is that racism and injustice still exist in our country. So what’s wrong with a man risking his job and using his large platform to gain attention and to protest against the injustice in our country? I absolutely cannot find the wrong in this. *hint- this is coming from a veteran’s kid.

JimboParadox I disagree with that because it woll incite a cycle of murder of violence as police would become more cautious of civilians and civilians become more fearful of police. And not every cop is bad. Ive met some amazing people who also happened to be officers. What if those 5 officers Micah killed were genuinely good people who wanted to serve their community. Violence isnt the answer, reforming the police department and holding them accountable for their actions is what will make a change in our nation

[@christiana5453]

JimboParadox we talk and we talk but no actually takes action. We protest but never try to create bills to change the police department. We dont lobby for bills to be laws. We dont vote for the people who would accurately represent us. In killing cops it only paints the picture that the BLM movement is nothing more than terrorist organization and it’ll create a stigma that when black people are upset that we’d rather use our fists and guns than our words and knowledge to make a change. An eye for an eye will only make the world blind
