Do you even know these names? Well wonder no more, sir. The list of names is still growing and you are living smack dab in the middle of it.
The fact that you compare the atrocities of what happened to a 14 year old kid in 1955 to a repeated violent felon explains to me all I need to know about your critical thinking skills. It’s like we are moving back 6 decades to generalizing an entire group of people based off that actions of the few. How the BLM movement generalizes all police is no different then how blacks were generalized in the 50s and 60s. Just a different group of people being discriminated against makes it as wrong today as it did in the past.
