Were officials too quick to tie Texas deputy shooting to Black Lives Matter?

25. No, the cops have a point.

A cop was openly shot in cold blood, and the response was that cops' lives matter too. That seems an obvious statement, which isn't arguable. Direct responsibility wasn't drawn, it's more in the zone of an implication, by way of using a phrase which is currently in the media... and additionally has particular relevance to cops. The person who said it was justified in doing so. (To even parse this while the news story is the cop's death is pretty ridiculous.)

We don't know if the cop and shooter had a particular beef with each other, if not then the case for more responsibility by blm, strengthens. I don't know why people think they can freely whip up hatred and nothing will come of it. If that's what they think, then why bother getting on tv? Tv is used in order to influence people, but oh no, no, we didn't influence this shooter? It's bullshit logic and very dishonest.

Neither the cops nor blm has much credibility with me. I think there's a lot wrong with both of them and both are very quick to deny obvious reality when it serves their purpose.

If blm (or any group) wants a war with the cops, it will lose. And it will result in a worse police state for all of us. Of course all the people don't count to blm, so no worries.
