Black Lives Matter Vancouver is asking police to voluntarily withdraw its float from the upcoming Pride Parade, as a "show of solidarity and understanding" that officer involvement in the march creates an unsafe atmosphere for some communities.

The open letter published by the activist group on Friday comes weeks after its Toronto counterparts halted the city's parade until organizers signed off on a list of demands including banning police floats from future marches.

fml

this is what happens when local news reports US news as if we were the same country...

for example "and in Wisconsin today, police shoot..." and "today donald trumps campaign for presidency is one step closer..." instead of "for a bit of international news, in the US State of Wisconsin..." and "the US presidential campaign of Donald Trump is one step closer to..." etc etc

that type of reporting makes us seem more as 1 with the US than we are, so idiots, begin to think we're one in the same

It's kind of funny, there's a few of my friends on facebook that got pissed off about the AllLiveMatter hashtag because it was "appropriating" the black lives matter movement. But they seemed okay with comparing #BLM to Tiananmen Square, and now this. Funnier thing is they're white.

Honestly If you co-operate with the cops they wouldn't shoot you... You are probably one of those guys that enjoys giving cops a hard time, they are only doing a job, how would you like it if i went to your work and gave you a hard time? As for Pickton i was to young for that..

Then they'll realize just how much better they had it in North America. No system is perfect but these Sharts want to feel victimized their entire lives. Maybe if they stop living bullshit ass lives, then maybe they can see happiness and optimism in the world.

Read this on my phone earlier today and just shook my head while reading it.

What better way to promote their movement than by giving people a reason to be pissed off at them.

As EvoLove said, co-operate with police and shit wont end with shots fired. A couple black people die from cops and it sparks a movement. How many black gang bangers and drug dealers kill each other on a daily basis, or rape/mug a non black person on a daily basis? That shit's not even worth mentioning in the news...but a cop shoots a black guy and daaammmmn shit just got real!

Leave the parade the way it is. I'm sick and tired of their shit...driving on Imperial st in Burnaby where there's a demoviction protest outside of a few old run down asbestos filled apartment buildings there's a bed sheet hanging down that says "we're with black lives matter!"...a protest about social housing space/affordability and they just have to have their name thrown in there.

A couple? are you on crack?

It seems like every black person in the states is afraid of the cops. From politicians to a surgeon who worked on the 11 cops who where shot in Dallas. He said in a press confidence when he is not dressed as a doctor he is afraid of the police. Philando Castile who was shot and killed in Minnesota was pulled over by the fops 56 times in 14 years for some of the most B.S. ever. It's common for black people to be pulled over for being black.

I can't relate to their views nor understand their plight since I'm not black, but I do find these things annoying on a personal level because I've never done anything to impede or bring harm to a black person, so that's where I think the disconnect is for most people. The number of people actually against them on the daily, percentage wise, is quite small.

They need a focus like any group does... Fuck the police isn't one, there's a shit tonne of black cops and there's an even bigger shit tonne of actually good cops... But they paint with a brush just as much as they're being painted. What do they actually want? New world order? Vigilante justice? These are things they need to get better at defining if they want the general public to be supportive of them.

The LGBT movement is widely accepted nowadays because it does have a distinct goal and message... more like that, less like blocking streets and yelling about killing pigs. Where would LGBT be today if they had started out with marches yelling to kill straight people?

Black Lives Matter Just Delivered Their 10 Point Manifesto, and This Is What They Want (http://www.puckermob.com/lifestyle/black-lives-matter-just-delivered-their-10-point-manifesto-and-this-is-what-they-want)

This is the official BLM Manifesto. Actions and motives put forth by other groups can't necessarily be acknowledged as sanctioned BLM actions. We don't even know if BLM Vancouver actually has a connection to the original, true BLM group. As you say, let's not paint the entire movement with the same brush based on the actions of the ones we hear about in the media or the vigilantes who use the guise of BLM to hide. I also agree with you. What you're saying makes sense and is productive. A little research will likely help you understand their official motives and goals but at the ends of the day you're not telling anyone to go back to their own country or to go fuck themselves.

1. End "broken windows" policing, which aggressively polices minor crimes in an attempt to stop larger ones.

2. Use community oversight for misconduct rather than having the police department decide what consequences officers should face.

3. Make standards for reporting police use of deadly force.

4. Independently investigate and prosecute police misconduct.

5. Have the racial makeup of police departments reflect the communities they serve.

6. Require officers to wear body cameras.

7. Provide more training for police officers.

8. End for-profit policing practices.

9. End the police use of military equipment.

10. Implement police union contracts that hold officers accountable for misconduct.

Seems pretty unreasonable to me.

A reasonable manifesto. Feminists also claim a desire for equality and reference the old dictionary definition of their movement. Yet the rhetoric and actions among many feminists do not align with their claims. Fewer and fewer people are identifying with feminism because of these radicals.

Radical behavior is counterproductive and divisive. BLM is building rift between themselves and the LGBT movement, police, and and other sympathetic groups. This group disrupted the presidential campaign of it's only real ally, Bernie Saunders, multiple times. It's hard to say if that had any torpedoing effect to his campaign, but it certainly was counterproductive.

it's fine to put a defined manifesto online, it's another thing to promote some loosely affiliated cause and have your purpose and means of achieving that purpose all over the map.

Personally i'm just sick of society these days and it's inability to have a mature discussion on anything without being labeled a bigot or a racist, i've tried and tried with different people, different avenues, different topics, and for the most part just to gain insight into other peoples opinions, and a lot of the times even bringing up a subject already puts me into a negative light.

As others here have said, the LGBT movement seems like they have actually gone about their cause in a unified, dignified, way. Most people involved are more than willing to have an engaging conversation, and for the most part i applaud their efforts because they've seemingly gone about it gracefully in that you rally support and change through the proper avenues without the shoving their ideals and problems down everyone else's throats.

Dont like cops and think you're being treated unfairly? Better start randomly killing them, thats clearly the answer. The answer to ending violence is always more violence.. lol

Search BLM on youtube.. look at the dribble through the first 10 pages of videos, other races showing up to support rallies and getting beaten up, cars smashed, etc.

it's all fucking gross.

i'm sure i'm not the only one who feels this way, and obviously when people are no longer willing to engage in discussion that only equals further segregation.

I'm in agreement of these practices, but BLM's way of getting across their agenda is awful. They are as hateful of those that they are trying to fight, or more.
Their behaviour in the Toronto pride parade was that of a 4 year old throwing a temper tantrum. They should organize themselves or they will never be taken seriously. Furthermore why are they bringing these problems to Canada? If anything they are just extending problems. Canada does not have a systematic racism towards blacks like the United states. Personal racism exists, but its nothing like what they are trying to fight over the border.
If anything we have a systematic racism against indigenous peoples, although Canada is making moves to rectify this, and it won't be solved overnight.
Police standing in solidarity with the LGBT community is not only one of the things they were fighting for in the first place, its something that pride has to be very proud of. They shouldn't let a groups misguided temper tantrums ruin a relationship they worked SO HARD to build.

I get that they want to support BLM in America and yes, America has a very obvious problem with the police killing black people and yes, there are certainly bad cops here in Canada too...

...but for the most part, the problems in America aren't the problems we have here. Not even close. The vast majority of police here in Vancouver are great and do their job well. It seems unfair to lump them in with the military-equipped assholes in Murica and to remove them from the Pride Parade, something they've very openly and enthusiastically supported for years.

And why is BLM making demands of the Pride Parade anyways? What does the event have to do with BLM?

The part that pisses me off the most is that you see more white SJW at these BLM events in Canada than actual black people.

Haha

I purposely wrote what I did to see who would instantly pull out the race card to claim Internet victory for their ego.

But nowhere in my post did I attribute race to Uganda. I attributed what BLM wants to moving to a country that has what they want. Little to no law enforcement. Also, BLM has a lot of support from non-blacks so it can be a diverse trip across the Atlantic.

But thanks for taking my test :troll:

Look, I'm all for social justice and equal rights but there has to be a methodical and tactful way of going about it. Peaceful marches to city hall are fine. Protesting outside police stations are fine. What isn't fine is blaming all the social issues on one single factor: The Police.

There's more systemic issues than that. Broken families / Domestic Violence, Gangs, dropping out of highschool, conception at a young age. All the issues cannot be blamed on law enforcement. Change can only come from the community itself. There are people within these communities who have worked tirelessly to turn broken people around and carve out a future for them but 'the streets' are a tough mistress.

I'm not saying all cops are good but I can bet there are more good cops than bad and things like social media are spreading more misinformation than information. But people who lack even a high school education may not know the difference between fact and fiction, truth and falsity. It doesn't take much to grow a mass of people even if they don't know the entire cause they're participating in. It's where emotion blinds logic and the original intent gets clouded.

I support pursuits for better living standards but I don't support childish behaviour from people who can't tell fact from embellished fiction and rely on emotion rather than logic to guide their cause.

I mean if you presented an 87 page AG report on the investigation of the shooting on an unarmed black man that shows testimony and evidence that corroborates the police's story which led to justifiable weapon discharge, it still wouldn't change anything in the minds of the protesters. Why? Just because. Once they start throwing words like 'conspiracy' and 'propaganda' around, then the doors of debate have been forever shut and locked.

Cop shot him because he had a gun something he was allowed to do under Minnesota law and he was originally pulled over because he was black and his tail light was not broken.

regardless of what happened, driving without insurance and a valid license are perfectly valid reasons to pull someone over, i dont know why everyone is bringing that shit up.

a lot of really good posts by the LGBT community in now removing people and not accepting other groups is exactly what the LGBT community is NOT about lol.. nice move BLM

5. Have the racial makeup of police departments reflect the communities they serve.

This one I'm a bit hesitant about, primarily because it's completely dependent on who is applying to become an officer. I can see their thought process, but I thought the whole point of what a lot of poeple have done for the last few decades was to stop making race and gender factors of employment.

A couple? are you on crack?

It seems like every black person in the states is afraid of the cops. From politicians to a surgeon who worked on the 11 cops who where shot in Dallas. He said in a press confidence when he is not dressed as a doctor he is afraid of the police. Philando Castile who was shot and killed in Minnesota was pulled over by the fops 56 times in 14 years for some of the most B.S. ever. It's common for black people to be pulled over for being black.

and his gun permit:

Cop shot him because he had a gun something he was allowed to do under Minnesota law and he was originally pulled over because he was black and his tail light was not broken.

Of those 56 times he was pulled over, he was guilty/convicted 35 times (and possibly guilty of more). 20 of those times for driving with no valid license, and 6 times for no insurance. Are you really suggesting no license/no insurance tickets are B.S.? I'm sorry but when you break the exact same law that many times you waive the right to claim profiling. Did he even have a valid license when he was shot?

Had no idea driving without a Minnesota license was a capital offense in Minnesota. Will keep that in mind.

That's insane...56 times?

Is it though? 56 times in 14 years is being pulled over an average of 4 times a year.

I get yanked atleast once a month for one reason or another, and much more some months. I've been pulled over twice in one day... By the time I have been driving 14 years, by my estimation I will have been pulled over some 150 times. (And believe me I am well on track for that, as my plates were on some sort of police warning list for awhile when I first got my license).

Of the ~100 times i have been pulled over in the last 5 years, I have 2 speeding tickets, 1 VI for no front plate, 1 warning for no front plate, and 1 VI for tint on my front windows.

Granted my car is a significant source of these incidents, but by and large I escape without any tickets or warnings. This brings up a worthy cause in my mind: #ricerlivesmatter

I'm sorry but when you break the exact same law that many times you waive the right to claim profiling.

I'd argue him being pulled over wasn't racial profiling, it was profiling based on his record. I mean when you get pulled over and convicted that many times, I would probably pull you over just to check your information as well. I don't know if that is legal where they were, but I do know it is perfectly acceptable where we live.

Also my post here is making light of this situation of being pulled over, but believe me I don't believe this incident should have ended like this. Nor am I taking the BLM movement down at all.

Do we know he was actually pulled over every time? Some of them could've been at road blocks.

Manic!

He was pulled over for going 55 in a 54. Or it could be DWB.

Remember these are the times he was ticketed not the amount of times he was actually pulled over.

Someone posted this on Facebook and it pretty much sums it up

"You don't petition an event celebrating inclusion and ask for exclusion."

On a more important note........... Rosemary Rock Salt Bagel Company ads no longer have the obnoxious-voiced little girl and dumbass grandpa. That, my friends, is more important to people here in the Lower Mainland than this, "We matter more than you," movement.
