It’s also world
Wide.
Yeah, that is a narrow point of view of world history. Sure this is a big movement, but come on, there has been larger ones in U.S. and world history. World history, I'd say the fall of communism in 1989-1992 was a larger movement in additional to the examples already cited. Or, even bigger, the rise of democracies during the 20th century.
Sorry I struggle to get a link to post. This was what I was reading that led to my comment. Obviously no way to ever know

Boy thats some fuzzy math. Not all people "protesting" were or are members to BLM. Just because someone shows up to hang out in a city like we saw doesnt mean they are BLM.

You would know about fuzzy math
We all know it is sBLM.
Selective Black Lives Matter.
Lol Bill Deblasio helping paint BLM in front of Trump Tower with Al Sharpton is quite the look. Fucking idiot.
Also NYC, “ Former NYPD Commissioner Bill Bratton, who was twice the city’s top cop, said that at its current rate the city has lost about 20 years of progress in battling crime, and risks returning to a time when the five boroughs were not nearly as safe”

Lol you are not good at this. Minneapolis, AOC, other liberal dipshits, and oh wait, BLM itself. You have no idea what the actual organization you support stands for.

OMG........take the blinders off Secretariet.
Has the world ended in Minneapolis? Defund the police doesn’t mean get rid of them completely.

Sounds like a great time to bring on another Law and Order show into the franchise.
I’m not for getting rid of the police. We need police, however the police have shown that they can’t reform themselves because they won’t admit they have a problem. No change can come until police actually believe they need to change. I don’t believe they are likely to do it.

No one is arguing that police don’t need reformed. Unions are a liberal idea... same as in schools it keeps the shitty ones employed for no reason. Get rid of them, everywhere.
All public unions should be dissolved, yes.

But don't you think defunding the gangs would probably be a much more effective approach?

You really haven't been paying attention if you think no one has said to get rid of the police altogether.
Look up the definition of defund if you don't believe it means getting rid of the police, unless you believe police will now be volunteers?
You said no one, then multple people on here showed you that Minneapolis has voted to defund, that prominent Congressmen and Congresswomen, and BLM itself has called for the dismantling/defunding/get rid of police.
Then you move the goal posts by saying "well did the world end in Minneapolis?"
You were shown you were wrong and want to change the conversation to something else now? Come on Geeblock, just realize that some of these people/organizations you are supporting are highly radical in their beliefs.

This, geeblock should look up the difference in definitions of defund and reform.

Minnesota still has all of their police officers. So until u actually see what it looks like just relax. They haven’t even announced what it would be at this point.
