You seemed to be ok sayin just - cop lives matter. Without the added but all lives matter.

Have you ever said simply "black lives matter?"

Maybe you have, I don't know. don't take this personal.

Many of us can't say it without the add on.

I couldn't till about a month ago. I always added but all lives matter.

But if you can say cop lives matter without the qualifying statement...and you can't say black lives matter without the qualifying statement...weell...

I would never say black lives matter. I have always corrected that statement with “all lives matter”.
I think use of the word black in that phrase reflects racist ideology.
I think you got a little lost when I was correcting the
asinine inhuman comment rixpix made.

So to be clear,

you're ok with "Cop lives matter" all by itself.

But "black lives matter" must have the added "but all lives matter."

Think about that....maybe the problem is the "black " part.

I didn’t say “cops lives matter “, stand alone above everybody else. That’s
my take on blm. Black lives matter more than non-black lives.
I won’t ever support this racist ideology.

Good friend has that Truck, he took it one of the quick oil change shops and they installed the new fuel filter with air in the housing. It only took a few miles before the engine gave up the ship. Lube and Tune replaced the engine.

Princess you couldn’t understand if I said, the sun is coming up tomorrow. Don’t feel bad though. It isn’t your fault. You just aren’t using your brain today. Just let us know who has it this week.

You wouldn’t know meaningful and true, let alone relevant, if it bit your butt. Your virtues are ignorance, corruption and lying.

We do not live in an ideal world and if we did, of whose ideal would it be? Yours, mine or someone else?

Sadly, lives only matter to those who chose to care about them and not all people on this earth care about other people the way that they care about themselves. There are entire ethnic groups that would be eliminated from this earth entirely given the way of some individuals. Surely the bad guy robbing the Convenience Store that shoots the clerk dead doesn't think that the life they took matters. Those that shot the 100 people in Chicago last weekend didn't care about those lives either. Should there be a double standard? Should only lives taken during a police interaction matter? What about the three year old that was shot in the neck in the back seat of the car last weekend? Did his life not matter? He was black you know. I didn't see any outrage across the nation about that so I presume that his life really didn't matter after all.

Yet the cites are set ablaze for one wrongful death out of the nearly 330-million people in the United States. Be it a police officer or an insurance salesman that killed someone makes no relevance to the person killed. Dead is dead. How about being killed by 'friendly fire' or simply being a part of 'collateral damage' during a action taken? Any outrage about that and defunding and eliminating the military? It's not really any different you know. Again, dead is dead.

Police should not be held above the law and they have the right to be considered innocent until proven guilty as any other citizen does and that's why in the United States of America we are guaranteed due process.

The protestor that kills someone during a riot is just as guilty of murder as the officer that killed George with his knee on his throat.

As far as the 'Black Lives Movement' simply know that the founders, in their own broadcast words and video, are trained Marxists as well as being trained in protest tactics with a political agenda to change America to a Marxist run nation.

Well written.

Excellent!

Also, let’s not forget that one can believe that black lives matter (as do lives of all colors) Yet NOT support the blm organization or its leaders and dogma.

Want better teachers? Pay better. Want better cops? Pay better. You know the old saying, "you get what you pay for."

As I recall the teachers in Chicago are the highest paid teachers in America or were a couple of years ago. And yet in a year or so they will be on strike asking for yet more money. I know about teachers since numerous people in my family are/were teachers. I love teachers and since I was also LEO I know what officers are paid. But it is not necessarily the money. Many people go into teaching because of the money in let's say the Chicago area and are getting well paid but are not necessarily the best teachers.

One thing that can be done is to rid ourselves of the huge unions that control the teachers and much else in America. At one time they were useful and needed. These days not so much. Also get rid of the system where teachers can reach a level to where they cannot be fired.

Something is either missing or wrong with your narrative. I’ve never worked on a Dodge Cummins, but I’ve worked on plenty of generators using a very similar engine. I’ve seen several quit running from air in the filter/Separator, and I’ve yet to see this damage anything. This generally only happens in installations without a lift pump. Don’t doubt your story, just believe something got lost in the telling.

dennis2146 Loc: Eastern Idaho

Absolutely true my friend. I am with you in believing completely that Black Lives do Matter. But that does not mean I am supportive of the BLM movement that has cost the lives of police officers, riots, looting and burning and numerous people being assaulted just for the color of their skin.
