"Strong police involvement" - what does that mean? Who doesn't want police involvement?

Watch and learn. Many answers provided in link.
Could involvement mean engagement?
Can communities decide what they want for their families?
Should a mass movement be able to influence less policing when a community wants more?

Nuance is lost, may not be 'less policing' may be different policing that involves a different type of engagement.

From the World Socialist Website:
"The facts that have emerged demonstrate that Black Lives Matter is largely a creation of the corporate media and the Democratic Party, not a genuine expression of insurgent popular opposition to the pervasive brutality and social inequality of American society. The revelations illustrate the venal and privileged social layers whose interests are expressed by the elevation of race, rather than class, as the essential dividing line in society."

If they've misused funds donated to that charity - remember BLM isn't one entity - then hopefully they are prosecuted and made to pay it back.

As I said, it's not one group. There are no central leaders. There are a spread of different groups and organisations around the world.

So black men are more likely to commit crime in Australia, why is that?
Because there are systems in place that are there to help indigenous people and their communities, positive discrimination, land rights, etc.

Firebombing Kim's Convenience as a self defence measure against perceived police brutality.
Yep. Sounds about right.

 

[Chief]

Were the riots worse than kneeling during the national anthem? The response seemed to be about the same.
