*note - this is nothing more than a bunch of mind clearing ramblings from one hell of a confused guy. This blog may offend some people and if it does I do sincerely apologize as this is NOT my intention*
i am confused ..... again
it is slowly starting to dawn on me that i have to keep my thoughts and opinions to myself or else i am going to be labeled a racist. And no one wants that. I do think of myself as very open minded on many many things and really enjoy hearing other peoples views on stuff that interest me for example, native affairs (Canada), politics (Canada and US and Europe), women's rights, backing the police. I welcome intelligent debate and conversation about these things. What I dont like is when the only argument that is thrown at me is when I am called "racist" or scum bag or asshole or ... well you get the pic.
i posted my opinion on Black Lives Matter here in Canada and especially the thing where BLM is demanding 2 things that really irritated me. 1. Last year BLM delayed the Toronto Pride Parade just because well they could. Personally I think they should have been arrested but no, the parade management bowed down to their demands which was that the police were not to participate in future Pride parades because that triggers participants in the parade and people watching the parade. I will state this Black Lives Matter is nothing more than a home terrorist organization that gives out nothing but incorrect information on incidents, and have a political agenda that I find disgusting. 2. Black Lives Matter Toronto is now demanding that school resource officers be fired as they "trigger" the children in school and make it a hostile environment. Again bullshit. Having police in schools is a good way to see another side of the officer *there are several videos on YouTube where students celebrate their resource officers and such, and there are videos which show officers having to use force to break up fights, and or arrest people but that IS the job. You break the rules and or laws then expect to be arrested. If you decided that you dont have to listen to said officer or even assault said officer, you will pay for that decision, regardless if you are a teen or adult. Teens are not stupid and can make decisions that effect the outcome of a confrontation*
Now after reading the above paragraph i can see why people would jump on me about not liking Black Lives Matter. I welcome discussion on this movement but as it stands, I do not support or agree with them at all. I fully back the Police in both America and in Canada 100%. Are there bad cops? Yes. Do they need to be accountable for their own actions? Hell yes! BUT I dont agree with sticking a camera right in the face of a officer while they are trying to do their job. I dont agree with attacking police when they are trying to make arrests during protests, or even when they pull a vehicle over. If you have a problem with the police when they are doing their job, you can record it ( i do support this just dont interfere with them doing their job) and take it up with their supervisor when everything is calm (ie at the police station) or even in court. Yelling at them, spitting on them, throwing things all equals the use of force to stop you, and to detain you *which I agree with 100 percent* I believe that if you ignore the police when ordered to do something, you could be handcuffed. If you assault the police or act threateningly towards the police or others then you will be tased. If you are ignoring commands and there is a potential of a threat to the police lives or the public (ie hiding a hand indicating you could possibley have a weapon hidden and within easy reach) then you can expect to possibley be tased or shot. Its common sense.
I dont see myself being racist in anything about Black Lives Matter. I support a group called Blue Lives Matters supporting police. If that makes me a racist, well .............
Stay safe out there people.
If you want to discuss this rambling I am always free to do so. I hope you respect my jumbled thoughts here and dont unfriend or unfollow me because of this.
