Destino Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 Is there a consolidated and specific list of demands anywhere? I see the BLM protests covered on the news with great detail but when it comes to discussing exactly what they are after you just get a bunch of guests, most of which have no affiliation to BLM, giving seemingly random opinions.

Renegade7 Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 Who the hell said this? Spare me with your bull**** strawman argument. I had a falling out with a very good friend of mine over this very same BS. Everytime something like that would happen, he'd go about posting stuff on FB about the same thing happening to people of other races. I told him he doesn't get it because he doesn't want to. May have to take another year break from each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoCalSkins Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 I just noticed the drone in the first picture. DPD opened the door. Only a matter of time before the drones are armed with more than a camera... Pretty impressive flying close to the utility lines.

They just cleared protestors off of what, 10 yards of road, which they themselves are now blocking more effectively than the protestors were previously. What was gained?

After what happened in Dallas I doubt police feel very good about sparing the military gear for positive PR.
