“push back against the immediate blame-the-police mentality of these protesters”
Well I push back against the immediate blame-the-victim mentality of people like you!
(FWIW I have publicly called out some of their leaders of the BlackLivesMatter movement over their praise for a convicted cop killer who is now a fugitive in Cuba. But that doesn’t doesn’t mean the problems they are complain about aren’t real. And you are an example of the problem.)
