Here's some icing on the cake as to why BLM is a terrorist organization.

When members of a large organization commit terrorist attacks, it does not automatically make them a 'terrorist organization'.

If this reasoning was extended to organizations other than BLM, then the US military would be labeled a 'terrorist organization' hundreds of times over for the numbers of times we've had US soldiers go nuts while overseas and rape/kill random people.

It wouldn't be labeled as a "Terrorist organization" in america but it would in other countries.

so what you're saying is you think the united states military is a terrorist organization

[Lord Tony®]

violent attacks on Annoying Orange supporters are ultimately being orchestrated and encouraged by the BLM leader who is trying to get martial law declared through violence, disorder, and chaos before the elections.

How is this not terrorism?

the BLM leader

Who?

What's the point in replying if you're going to ignore the video?

That's quite literally the entire thesis of the video. His argument is that people who are a part of BLM have committed terrorist acts, thus BLM is a terrorist organization. The only point that he brings up which ventures out of the realm of case-by-case ad hominem attacks is the part where he claims that, "Assata Shakur is the ideological inspiration for BLM," which isn't even a substantiated argument. The only connection between her and BLM are a couple of posters made by protestors and a single quote by activist Alicia Garza.

I mean, there's plenty of reasons to dislike BLM as a social movement. They make no serious attempt to dissuade violent protest, and their presence on college campuses is plagued by self-imposed segregation policies. But the video is pretty much one big walking fallacy that, if extended to non-black people, would classify practically every modern protest movement as a 'terrorist organization'.

the video deals with how cops are forced to react when they are in imminent danger. The protests in dallas are about cops who shot suspects even though their lives were not in damger.

Im not here to argue, just stopping by and curious. Can I see some evidence that shows they were not in danger?

for anton sterling, check liveleak for the actual video. Dude had two police officers on him, restraining his hand, while one pointed a gun at his chest. Although sterling did have a gun in his pocket, he never actually touched it or held it during the exchange with police. Though the police lives might have been in danger, their force (4 gunshots to the chest) was pretty excessive. It can also be argued that anton 'reached' for his gun, but it would be physicallt impossible for the officer to actually see (based on the direction he was facing)

For philando, he was pulled over at a traffic stop. Cop asked for license drivers id, philando went for his id but also inforned the officer that he had a licensed firearm in the car (he actually took time to warn the officer). As a result, the cop freaked out a little bit and shot him as he reached for the license he was asked to show.

As for evidence, i can't really say much. This is essentially how both cases went down. I must admit, the former seems to be more justified. Either way, murder is murder, anyway you put it

[Insert Name Here²]

Can you provide other examples other than the Anton and Philando cases? You've already beaten those to a pulp, use something else ffs.
