You can call BLM a "street gang" but it only makes you look like an uninformed idiot. Likewise, Johnson-Shanks' fleeing, attempted apprehension and the murder of Trooper Ponder had nothing to do with race. If you would prefer to just come out with a more bigoted approach, go for it, but don't bring Trooper Ponder into it.
I agree, it's as wrong to paint everyone in that movement with the same brush as it is wrong to paint everyone in law enforcement with the same brush. It'd be nice if both sides took that into consideration.
