My point was that, in such a climate, maybe a few people's powers of interpretation become blunted to thinly veiled statements of provocation by people such as Trump.
I wasn't aware that the 'dead cops now' chant wasn't actually made by members of BLM. News coverage here suggested it had and I didn't know about any counter claims until El Symbols pointed it out. I imagine the counter claim was big news in the US. It wasn't here, where we had to deal with stuff like Brexit, a resigning prime minister, a labour party meltdown, Boris Johnson's appointment as foreign secretary, whether Tony Blair is a war criminal, a panic about terrorism, Joe Hart's future at Man City.

thank you for clarification. sorry for barking at you. you should know here there is a racist agenda to smear Black Lives Matters as a violent and racist group. it wants to portray it as anti white, anti cop.
BBC News accurately reports Black Lives Matters information, if the British news sources you read gave you the wrong information perhaps time to get a new news source?
the reason i jumped on you was the racist agenda to portray Black Lives Matter is intended to totally discredit the group and movement as being a violent hate group so that the real message of anti police brutality anti corruption can be swept under the rug of misinformation.
the American police kill 1,200 people a year. its a serious issue. the police have killed people close to me. its a sensitive issue
