With the "Black Lives Matter" movement procuring more members and/or followers daily, I often ask myself "what is their main objective?" It's quite obvious they fail to address the senseless killings of black people by other blacks throughout every major city in America with Detroit being a prime example. A few "leaders" of the "Black Lives Matter" movement recently visited the state of Michigan days after a disabled woman was stabbed to death aboard a DDOT bus because she accidentally bumped her walker into another passenger. The passenger got up and proceeded to stab the disabled women in her neck and face resulting in her death. I'd also like to note that at that time, the bus was full of other black passengers. Why would so many people allow this woman to commit such a vile act in their presence? If black lives matter, why wouldn't anyone try to intervene or prevent this attack? This movement is so quick to point the blame at rouge cops and for many, whites in general. Recently, a task force raided a house in Detroit looking to apprehend a subject who was wanted on felony weapons charges and felony robbery of a pizza delivery man (who happened to be white). Upon entering the home, the subject found refuge in the upstairs attic. The officers made contact with the subject who then dropped out of the attic with a hammer and lunged at the closest officer. The subject was then shot dead on the spot. There was a lot of controversy surrounding this incident claiming that the subject was unarmed and surrendering at the time of the shooting. (All claims from the victims father who was present at the time). After the incident took place, a hammer was found near the victims body and all reports from police did in fact state that the victim did lunge at officers with a hammer in hand. All the while, local residents from the neighborhood started to gather and become unruly. The father also went on the local news station and said "my was son was a wonderful loving person and a great father". I was raised to believe that loving and wonderful people don't stick guns in peoples faces trying to make a living for themselves. Either way, the event took place and now people are demanding action. The only thing saving the city from total chaos is that the officer (ICE Agent to be exact) was black himself. I just want to add that I myself work in the city of Detroit and witness on a daily basis the way that black people treat each other. I know it's easy to blame cops and "White Privilege" but it all starts at home and on the streets. The "Black Lives Matter" movement cannot really expect other people throughout the country to respect their cause when they don't even respect the lives of each other.
