Guys, we're talking about a race that was legally, and without trial, strung up from their necks for being in the wrong town past sundown. This was 60 years ago. Forgive them if they get a little jumpy around more unpunished murder by the police system.
No. I do not condone the violence in any regard. I understand why they feel the need to knock a little harder on the door, though. BLM became a punchline. The police mock their efforts to civily raise awareness and a make a call to action. Nothing.. from nobody. Ignore the problem long enough, and some mother fucker is going to get reminded how it feels to be victimized.
