Who me Posted June 5, 2020 Group: Royal Member Followers: 5 Topic Count: 17 Topics Per Day: 0.01 Content Count: 3,300 Content Per Day: 1.71 Reputation: 1,686 Days Won: 0 Joined: 01/27/2019 Status: Offline Share Posted June 5, 2020 I hear the anger and frustration that a black man has died while being arrested by the police. I hear the anger that the police are ' raceist'. Yet I don't hear about how a police force is to police a hostile community, how they are to do their job and stay safe themselves. Nor about how most crime, most violence in black communities is black on black. The police need to retrain and teach about safe arresting methods and about being respectful to civilians. What of the community, how are they o respond? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shalom. Yes, so true. And also police officers' lives matter, too. After the massive Los Angeles riots of 1992, our police department had a major overhaul. News rules for police, changes in leadership. So basically I think our police here are pretty good. During the current events, hardly any physical violence was used.

Shalom. Ill give u an analogy that helps understand the issue. Imagine you are at your relatives funeral and you are giving the eulogy. You say -He was a good husband and loving father and a man jumps on the stage and says - So! There are lots of great and loving fathers!Why don't they get appreciation? How would you feel? Annoyed and think they are out of place right? That's what the All lives matter retort is doing. No-one is disputing that all lives matter but the truth is America has a history of unpunished or underpunished murders against blacks -lynchings ,police killings etc - that people are trying to bring attention to. They're trying to say that our lives matter too. Other races don't have that issue as much as blacks. In the last few years we've had several incidences where non violent black men or women were killed by police using excessive force. How many whites or Asians did that happen to? So by saying all lives matter people are trying to divert attention away from a very real issue which is causing people to DIE which most likely wonr affect them. Which is just awful and selfish.

Which is just awful and selfish. Understand? Trail of Tears, in U.S. history, the forced relocation during the 1830s of Eastern Woodlands Indians of the Southeast region of the United States (including Cherokee, Creek, Chickasaw, Choctaw, and Seminole, among other nations) to Indian Territory west of the Mississippi River. The onset of World War II brought accelerated persecution and deportation and later, mass murder, to the Jews of Germany. In all, the Germans and their collaborators killed between 160,000 and 180,000 German Jews in the Holocaust, including most of those Jews deported out of Germany. Understand? Shalom.

Well if you want to critique a current ongoing problem using past attrocities that happened decades ago go ahead. But I'd advise you not do it on a public forum like this. When Christians state things like that it makes all of us look bad and uncaring to the problems of others Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noones debating that God cares for us all. But people are unknowingly trivializing the issue with this All Lives Matter argument. It reflects badly on Christians imo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Consider 1 Corinthians 14:[38] But if any man be ignorant, let him be ignorant. You know nothing of my color, race, life experience No worries though. Statements made from ignorance are just that.
