Black Lives Matter
Violence should never be the first option, but people have different opinions on that.
The use of violence can be contributed to many things like self defense or in this case on a disagreement. Many people state that the black lives matter movement brings more violence to the streets than there already is.
My opinion on this matter is that people are speaking their mind and talking about their unfairly mistreatment on the african american community across the United States. So they had united to try and make things right for themselves and for others in the future.
The main reason that the black lives matter movement had begun is because it is trying to give African Americans a voice on which they want to be heard and want people to understand that they want to be treated as people and not just seen by the colors of their skin.

There is no question that there is a corrupt police system in the united states, everybody knows that, but that doesn't mean just because you have a badge you can go waving it around and shooting someone because you say you had a gut instinct that they were going to harm you or pull out a weapon. The black lives matter movement is trying to bring in attention all around the world and they want others to know how they are not being treated fairly and are being punished by the color of their skin. The black lives matter movement follows thirteen principles and the key ones are Diversity, Globalism,Collective Value and Restorative
