Where’s the injustice? From what I’ve read the officers involved are being brought up on charges and the chief of police was forced to resign. This is a great example of how these events should be handled. There’s nothing left to protest.

Where’s the evidence that BLM did this? Because there are plenty of twitter posts and blog posts from BLMers saying they don’t care.

This incident was a national scandal anyway, and has nothing do do with race, so trying to claim BLM was respon-



Wait a second. I see what they’re doing here.

This is out of BLM’s remit (IE “police brutality” against blacks), so there’s no reason to do this unless they’re trying to expand, or virtue signalling something that a lot of other people were upset about to repair their reputation. And hoping we conveniently forget about the past three years. If that’s true, they’d be using it to attack BLM’s critics and big themselves up, not just support Diamond.

I know which horse I’m putting my money on.



TL:DR: this incident has nothing to do with race, it was already a big deal before BLM showed up, and they’re just virtue-signalling and using the incident to attack their critics. They hope you won’t remember the past three years of BLM explicitly complaining about black people “murdered” by cops.

Four legs good, two legs better.
