That being said, I do think that they have a legitimate cause,

what legitimate cause? That 5% of population commit 1/2 all Burglary & Robbery? and on and on......
Just because the libtard press doesnt cover it does not mean it doesnt happen, dude.Cops are biased against black people. When was the last time you heard of a white boy being shot and killed by 16 bullets fired by one officer? When was the last time a white boy died from not being strapped into a police van and having their neck broke? What about the kid that was shot by a police officer and only had a pellet gun, but the cop was shooting at the kid within 3 seconds of exiting the vehicle.
Those are just a few examples. Yes, I do believe that the BLM movement has a legitimate reason for protesting, but they are executing their protests poorly and instead of advancing their cause, they are pissing off people and harming it.
The kid attacked the cop and got what was coming to him.
Typical ignorance:Since when did it become O.K. to block interstates, roads into airports, and entrances into shopping centers? Oh, that's right, since Obie became President.
Freedom of Assembly was not meant to infringe upon other peoples' freedom to drive, fly, and shop! Our country continues to disintegrate before our very eyes..............true story.

It's a bit of a different upbringing I think, I mean when I was a kid it was /common knowledge/ that if you fought an officer you were going to get your ass kicked, and, yes, possibly shot. There was never a question about this and no one raised a stink about it when someone got dead for doing so... It wasn't thought of as "police brutality" back then, it was thought of more like... "evolution in progress." I think, in general, white folks don't particularly care if someone eats a bullet while fighting the police...
To be bluntly honest, I tend to feel that if you're not obeying the laws, and on top of that you are going to get violent with police, then you have no place in our society. I mean someone willing to get violent with an officer with a gun, in my mind, will have zero qualms getting violent with an unarmed civilian, therefore it's safer for society as a whole that such folks are off the streets. While death is unfortunate, and I'll even agree not always necessary, to me... I'm not concerned about losing a violent individual... sorry.
I do agree there should be standards for sure, and not every instance of resisting arrest is something to shoot over. However, I think the difference I was talking about in my post, that you've missed, is that white folks don't particularly care if the person gets shot while resisting arrest... it's not about race /at all/, it's about uhm 'principle' I suppose... It's like... when you did a bad thing as a kid you got punished, there was no "acceptance" of resisting a spanking... to do so only made things worse for you. As an adult, if you did a bad thing, resistance to arrest for it was asking for a /worse/ punishment... yes a longer sentence and yes even getting shot for it. There is no "race" aspect to this idea at all.
Now one could argue that white officers some how "inflict" this "idea" upon blacks - thereby being more authoritarian, and one can even argue that blacks resent that (or even rebel whites, or whatever.) However, that would not be a "manifestation" of racism in itself, but rather a manifestation of the "idea" they were raised with...
It really does seem to me that a lot of black folks believe it is completely acceptable for a person to "resist" arrest, and it's not just in the narrower aspect of the police either. It also seems to be completely acceptable to beat the shit out of someone they disagree with; remember the black chick who beat up the white girl with a baby on her lap simply for sitting in a self-proclaimed "black" park? The black woman's "beat down" seems to be very much "acceptable" by many of the black commenters as kind of a "that's what you get" [for not leaving when told.] By the same token, for whites, "fighting the police" ends up at a "that's what you get" shrug as it were. It's pretty much the same idea, just applied to different parties...
