The embedded Facebook page states that BLM “marched and protested to highlight the urgent need to transform policing in America, to call for justice, transparency and accountability…”
Some of the BLM proposals are abstract and general, but do qualify as solutions.

Hi Jorgen,

Thanks for the response.

The above quote really just proves my point further. “Highlight[ing] the urgent need” is not a solution. This is, again, just complaint. Complaining here not meant in any negative connotation.

The lack of specifics is the very problem I have. It’s as if I claimed you are a terrible person. And when you ask me how you can change that fact, I respond with, “I don't know, but there is a wide variety.” I challenge you to run a business with those kind of directives.

Stated bluntly, put up or shut up.

There are countless organizations that I support who have clear missions and strategies in place to counter the issues of police brutality/overreach.

The Institute for Justice is a prime example. Why don’t you check their website for a comparative analysis.

BLM discussions online in the social media blogospheres may, in fact, be very constructive. I should have clarified that I don’t believe everyone who clings to the ideological banner of BLM is not actively working on the solutions. It’s just that the movement itself seems to have no clear direction.

When I look at one, more specifically the, BLM website and find no constructive solutions, the truth is that this is a very concerning problem. If I had saw all the discussion that you speak of and wanted to know more and get involved, where would I go? Would it not be the official website?

As it stands now, BLM is perhaps stuck in a rut of more ideological dealings than any constructive action.

Realistically, when you compare it to the Civil Rights Movement, well, there is no comparison. Years have past, and the best BLM has mustered is blocking highways.

MLK Jr., among others, actively tried countless strategies. They had solutions. Mind you, they were largely successful in an environment far more threatening than the BLM is in today.

Food for thought.
