In my previous essay, I presented a question which relates to the “Black Lives Matter” movement and who is really responsible for it? This all started back in 2014 when Michael brown, an African American was shot and killed by a police officer, Darren Wilson. We hear in the news that many black lives have been taken away by police officers every year. Some have claimed that the police officers are the ones that should be responsible for their actions. Even though these shootings and killings that are happening, I support those who are being affected by this tragedy. Lawmakers and police officers are blaming the individuals who cause these shootings to occur. Others may not agree with my opinion, or what I am to say but I hold defense for the

Not only did it start with Michael Brown or Eric Garner but also others who weren’t out there in the media. So recently in the media and news, Texas Gov, Dan Patrick and Rep.

For instance, lets go back to Dan Patrick, the governor who also quoted …show more content…
My defending source for the opposition says That the suspect who was involved in the shooting in Dallas was not affiliated with other groups and that he worked on this alone. “The suspect said he was upset about Black Lives Matter. He was upset about the recent police shootings. He was upset at white people and he wanted to kill white people especially white officers.” This source information is coming from Huffington post.
As you can see, not every situation that has to do with shootings and killing involve the people who support the Black Lives Matter movement. In this case everyone blames the protestors but in reality there are individuals who are after certain things. The media and lawmakers don’t really see this or if they do they do not let it view in public. There could be people who can say either argument Is false, but my opinion will stay the
