The video, at least at crucial moments, is misleading and slanted. Consider the Trayvon Martin example:

“NAT: 17-year-old Trayvon Martin was shot on his way home from a store. His killer wasn’t a police officer—just someone who claimed Martin looked suspicious. After the jury found him not guilty, three community organizers started the #BlackLivesMatter hashtag.”

Wait! “The jury found him [the killer] not guilty.” — Why is this video teaching students to ignore the process of trial and instead depend on the legal judgment of folks like Black Lives Matter?

Then the example of Michael Brown:

“NAT: A year later, a police officer killed 18-year-old Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri. Brown was unarmed when he was shot multiple times. The officer wasn’t charged.”

What’s missing is something along these lines: Three separate investigations — at the city, state, and federal level (the highest it gets) — found no reason to charge the officer. These investigations confirmed that evidence showed that Brown reached into the officer’s car, left DNA on the officer’s gun, and was killed as a result of a violent confrontation with the officer. The confrontation took place after Brown committed a strong-arm robbery at a nearby convenience store.

It’s astonishing to me that these two figures — especially Brown — have been virtually sainted by people looking for a hero/victim to print on their banners.

The video should not be shown to young children. It should be shown to older students only when accompanied by either a critical analysis or by perhaps one of the Youtube lectures by a black conservative opposing the concept of systemic racism, someone like John McWhorter.

In reply to TONY.

If their lives don’t even matter to them… why should they matter to me?

DO Black Lives Matter? Do they REALLY? If Black Lives REALLY do matter then, why aren’t you protesting in the Black areas of town where Blacks are shooting Blacks? UNTIL you do THAT, don’t talk to ME about Cops shooting Blacks. If you don’t want to be shot by a Cop, don’t give that Cop a reason to put their hand on their Gun.

Parents; if you haven’t figured it out by now… you must get your children out of the dangerous Public Indoctrination System NOW, if you care at all about their emotional and intellectual development… and our future.

“It wasn’t Black-on-Black crime. Violent video games and rap songs had nothing to do with it; nor did poverty, education, two-parent homes or the international “bootstraps” shortage. When a judge tasked researchers with explaining why Massachusetts’ Black and Latinx incarceration was so high, a four-year study came up with one conclusion.
Racism.
It was always racism.”

I appreciate Tallahassee Reports creating awareness of issues the Tallahassee Democrat ignores. Having more information to process is always a good thing.
