You really make it seem like police departments across North America are
routinely targeting and killing black people and that "cops are bad" and
BLM is such a noble cause... that just isn't true by a long shot. Please
provide me factual evidence to show me wrong. I already showed evidence to
the contrary in a previous message.

There are such things as bad cops, but its such a small percentage and you of 
all people should be mildly intelligent to realise that in 2020 everyone is a 
fucking filmmaker, where seconds of video sets a narrative; but the whole 
story and footage tells a different story altogether.

I seriously doubt you are related to or friends with anyone in law enforcement
for if you were you would not make such ongoing ignorant blanket statements.

Have you actually sat down and talked to a cop about what it is they deal
with? Our tax dollars rightfully go towards their trust that they will deal
with crime and enforce laws that we often take for granted. What a cop goes
through on a daily shift is no joke; its a seriously emotionally-taxing job
to do. Could you be a cop for a day? I couldn't and doubt you could either.

Sometimes a cop uses excessive force and thats bad, but not every cop is bad 
just like not every postal worker is going to shoot up their coworkers.

Now in a large city (which I seriously doubt you live in), there exists areas
which are of high crime, so naturally there is a high police presence. The
BLM movement specifically calls for the defunding and/or abolishing of the
police, so who will patrol and deal with crime in those neighborhoods? Don't
believe me? Look at the BLM website.

I have lived in downtown Toronto since 2007. Show me factual evidence of all 
of these problems you claim exist. Show me where Toronto cops routinely target
and *KILL black people*.

What part of "If you don't want to be arrested, don't commit a crime" seems to
go over your head? Did you know that the vast majority of Toronto crime is 
gang-related? What should cops do, ask them politely to stop?
