I don't always word things the best. I said it was debatable because there is an on going debate on thread about it. I agree with you as I have seen the videos showing BLM leaders asking for violence. Leaders that say they represent BLM and yet I have not heard other BLM leaders call them out by name and saying that leader doesn't represent us. What I was trying to say is IF one believes (I am not one that believes it) that BLM truly believes in non violent protests then why don't they stop the protests when these violent groups come and join thier cause? Why allow violent protesters use thher peaceful protest to do thier violence? Why not find other means than protests that turn violent to get thier message across?Some BLM leaders do promote violence. I've seen live streams where that has happened. Next time there is a heated protest I encourage you to watch live through the eyes of BLM rather than the media.
One example is of the white female pastor in Ferguson who opened her church as a safe haven for BLM. She was preaching love and unity from the pulpit in the light of day but under the cover of darkness she was pure evil. I watched live as the BLM shut down traffic and wouldn't let cars through. A young white man got out of his car and was surrounded by the group of protesters. He was saying he just needed to get home when someone sucker punched him. The man turns to run and you see the 'pastor' yell "get him, don't let him go" and then she's running behind the mob. I don't think I can link the video but it's not hard to find.
So yes, some so called leaders call for peace while encouraging violence.
I also agree shutting down highways is not peaceful.
