stop pming me for collectibles
you people need to check your sources
i know itcan be really hard to accept something you don't want to believe, (ex pro blm posts) but when you're so blinded by your opinions you get to the point you're using conspiracy sites its time for a wakeup call. its perfectly okay to be in the middle.
regardless, i feel awful for the child who saw philando get shot. thats horrifying to witness someone you love dying in front of you. its traumatizing.
and for the dallas shooting, i highly doubt BLM has an actual professional sniper in their ranks, unless they paid for one. seriously, these are people from poor places and or university students. thats the bulk of BLM. you're telling me one of them is just a pro sniper? yeah idk, but BLM as a movement i'm sure don't condone violence and try to be peaceful.
YES there are a couple who want to kill the white race but seriously. they just want black people to stop being shot by cops. there are radicals in every movement.

I find it hilarious that you use a conspiracy website and like Null said you criticise people who use websites like Huffington, really?

If it means anything, apparently the kid was out of the car at the time that the shooting happened, so I've heard.

NOT A SUSPECT HE WAS MISTAKENLY IDENTIFIED.
Quoting both here. The issue, at least with what I see, with BLM, is the same as Occupy Wall Street and any other leaderless organization. It allows everyone to be a leader, which is nice in theory, but without a figurehead speaking for the entire organization, it allows fringe radicals to control the tone.
Look, there's a plethora of reaction images I could use to express how ridiculous it is that you use Info Wars, the site run by Alex Jones (conservative conspiracy theorist), but I'll just let Kanye explain how I feel.

Adding onto your statement about the BLM it's true they don't allow violence. Key leaders for the movement even stated themselves that the shooting was unacceptable.

I don't think the police have released that information yet
here is a article from the bbc news basically compiling what they know/ what has been released so far. However, here an officer states that the shooter was angry about the earlier events and this attack was a retaliation to that but as oath said, the police have not released many details about what actually happened.

Oh yeah, certainly.
There's also the issue of online discourse having no real legally required moderation to it, as well as movements like this being very easy for people to get swept away in mob mentality via acting on dangerous emotions.

All these senseless murders are heartbreaking.
I think people tend to forget that changes throughout history have rarely been peaceful. As terrible as violence can be, it happens because being peaceful more often than not does not work out in favor to the oppressed. Take a look at the French Revolution. It didn't happen overnight, it happened because of constant periods of injustice and unfairness. Poverty and hunger were also great factors but the most important reason was that the poor were tired of the rich doing nothing for their people. It took years of violence for them to overcome these situations.
Same thing with the fall of the Berlin Wall. People eventually got sick of their awful situation and tore it down. It takes action to change for the better.
Those who have been peaceful throughout history eventually get either a) jail time or b) killed. People also have to understand that the US is very sneaky about their history and tries to make things sound not as bad as it really was (slavery and the genocide of natives being the biggest offenders). The anger is justified because to this day, black people and minorities cannot walk down the street without having to worry about being killed for getting a traffic ticket. They can get mortgages and loans denied as well as being discriminated with housing and job placement because their name sounds "ghetto" and "uneducated". They still get followed around in stores because of stereotypes and racism. It's very sad and frustrating.
It's sad to see people being so against others being equal. What's even more baffling is how they insist that they must not be vocal and be peaceful 24/7 even when it's being shown that changes do not occur this way in our world. The same people must have forgotten how the US was founded.

What is he supposed to do about it? He has talked about police violence often. He can't directly oversee every police department in the country. We could require every police officer in the country to wear a body camera or have every death caused by police be investigated and tried as a federal crime instead of a state crime to increase the odds of a conviction, but there's no way that the do-nothing Congress would go along with either of those proposals.

What could he have done to prevent this? You're speaking generally so I'd actually like to see what you think he should be doing.
Keep in mind that ever since the Orlando shooting, there have been a lot of pressure on congress to push for stricter gun control - which I don't think would have helped in this situation as the shooters seemed to have been very very prepared.

Even if he was a pedophile (I don't know if that's true or not), he didn't deserve the death penalty without a trial. His background has nothing to do with the fact that the police shot and killed him for no reason. It's just character assassination in a feeble attempt to defend the cop's actions.
