Rolling Stone article on Black Lives Matter

I have not subscribed to the Rolling Stone in over 40 years. I found the article that was linked on a website I look at a couple times a week.

Was it worth reading?

As you might imagine it is written with a very liberal spin, but there is a lot of what I figure is factual info about BLM that I did not know

[catmanjack]

I was thinking tonight what drives the young generation to want to follow the Liberal/democratic approach that has a socialist government.
I am just lost in the fact they do not want to listen to anyone but want to be controlled just odd thinking.
The current events with the protesting and BLM/racism, just pure manipulation and guiding them in the wrong direction.
So why/where does this manipulation begin? Just odd!

I did not think about manipulation when I was 16 to 21 years old and was part of the counter culture and participated in sit ins, marches, and protest activities. It seemed like the activities and thought processes were generated by others in our age group, but we were protesting the war and government while the civil rights movement had gotten a lot of the gains that the people desired and Dr King had been killed in 68 and seemed to have lost all its steam by 1969.

Not political till Hunter Thompson in ‘71.

On BLM, they espouse an anti-semetic Marxist Culture war. Do your research! Don’t be badgered into silence or some kind of going along.

Yep, read their website and founders have admitted as much.

Early on Saturday morning, two of Dugan's officers were injured while responding to a report of shots fired and a possible gunshot victim. However, when they arrived at the scene, a crowd of hundreds was there to greet them. As the officers searched for a possible victim, the massive group of people blocked their path and became aggressive.

According to Dugan, the mob surrounded officers, threw bottles and glass, and jumped on a police vehicle. Officers could not locate a victim.

"It's an ambush. I have no other way to describe it,” Dugan told reporters in a news conference on Monday. “When there are that many people out there and clearly no one had been shot. It was just a set up to get the cops there.

"We have changed our protocols where we send at least two officers to any type of call that we’re going to. Whether it’s a delayed burglary or whatever. This incident we actually sent nine officers to and it was clearly just a set up to get the cops there and then surround them," the chief explained on Thursday. "But, this is what we’re dealing with, you know?"

Dugan told the "Friends" hosts it felt like a no-win situation for his department.

"If we show up and take action, you know, we're heavy-handed, you know, it’s ‘excessive force,'" he said. "You know, [with] these peaceful protests, demonstrations -- they turn on a dime and they can turn on the cops very quickly."

Greater New York Black Lives Matter president Hawk Newsome joined "The Story" Wednesday to discuss the direction of the movement in the wake of George Floyd's death in police custody and the subsequent demonstrations across the country, many of which have sparked destruction and violence.

"You ... have said that violence is sometimes necessary in these situations," host Martha MacCallum told Newsome. "What exactly is it that you hope to achieve through violence?"
