if you're gonna judge an entire movement by a few individuals, what about that BLM protestor who shouted "Kill those cops and kill their kids too!" or the ones who held up an ambulance, endangering the life of someone and afterwards, the local BLM spokesperson said they didn't regret it happening?

would the left care if they saw good cops doing their jobs right?

and about why people misinterpret what "Black Lives Matter" means, then why do people use a term that implies an attack on every individual like "All Cops are Bastards" if it's the system that's the problem and not individual cops, then why not use a term that reflects that distinction?

A good metric: do they read it as 'ONLY Black Lives Matter' or 'Black Lives Mater, TOO'? It's SUPPOSED to be the former, but...

I mean neither did All Lives Matter who are currently siding with the police.
You sure it isn't on account of black people and progressive activist will shout them down if they try to claim that a white person is a victim in any context?
I mean the fact that they are siding with the people that strangle to death both whites and blacks with next to no recourse until a nation wide protest breaks out and shouting for the deaths of various groups indicates that they aren't too concerned about anyone's lives. Probably should rebrand themselves as "No Lives Matter" for the sake of Truth in advertising.
Or, most accurately, 'Only Our Lives Matter'.

Nobody said "all lives matter" until people said "black lives matter", and they did it to out-shout the people saying black lives matter.

A comedian once highlighted the nonsense.
"It's like if your girlfriend asked you 'do you love me?' and you said 'I love everyone babe'".

Anyway people who don't wear masks are horrible.

"Video games are art". Does that mean ONLY video games are art, or video games are art TOO?

The key to understanding GreyICE here is that he isn't being honest. It doesn't matter to him how many say "All Lives Matter" without any hatred toward anybody.

Black Lives Matter marched through the street calling for dead cops. Doesn't matter to him.

Antifa could march through chanting, "No Trump! No Wall! No USA at all!" Doesn't matter to him.

GreyICE probably doesn't believe that what some All Lives Matter people say means that all ALM's think the same way, He's just trying to win woke points.

If I remember, you've never been able to reliably demonstrate telepathy. Therefore, you have no assurance as to the motives of anyone unless they tell you.

Oh, forgot. NPCs don't learn.

Because the systemic corruption prevents good cops from existing, both directly as encourages engaging in the same kind of corruption and indirectly by encouraging people to turn a blind eye. I mean one of the cops that killed George Floyd joined with the intent of changing the force for the better, yet he stood by and watched as a man was murdered in cold blood by a fellow officer.

Don't try that angle. He believes that really good people are always good, no matter what evil they do, and really evil people were, at best, sociopaths deep down waiting for the right chance. Apparently being a good person is some abstract crystal essence that no amount of human cruelty can corrupt and has nothing to do with how much blood you have on your hands.
