BLM & the excuses to kill cops

For the most part, BLM and its supporters are pretty damn anti-cop. Just watch the marches. You'll hear hundreds of people chanting "f*** the police," signs saying "f*** the police," flipping the bird at any cop, getting in anyone's face who goes and shake a cop/soldier's hand. And of course, while rare, you will see chants calling for death of police officers. 

An immediate end to the criminalization and dehumanization of Black youth across all areas of society including, but not limited to; our nation’s justice and education systems, social service agencies, and media and pop culture. This includes an end to zero-tolerance school policies and arrests of students, the removal of police from schools, and the reallocation of funds from police and punitive school discipline practices to restorative services.

An end to capital punishment.

An end to money bail, mandatory fines, fees, court surcharges and “defendant funded” court proceedings.

An end to the mass surveillance of Black communities, and the end to the use of technologies that criminalize and target our communities (including IMSI catchers, drones, body cameras, and predictive policing software).

The demilitarization of law enforcement, including law enforcement in schools and on college campuses.

An immediate end to the privatization of police, prisons, jails, probation, parole, food, phone and all other criminal justice related services.

Until we achieve a world where cages are no longer used against our people we demand an immediate change in conditions and an end to all jails, detention centers, youth facilities and prisons as we know them. This includes the end of solitary confinement, the end of shackling of pregnant people, access to quality healthcare, and effective measures to address the needs of our youth, queer, gender nonconforming and trans families.

This is literally their platform. Anti cop doesn't necessarily have to mean "want cops dead." But anti cop in the sense that they don't want law enforcement or anyone up the chain to do their damn jobs, those boots fit BLM and they wear them proudly.

I'm curious at the bold part about media and pop culture; are they referring to the glorified "thug culture" in rap and on TV? Or are they blaming the media as some evil entity that portrays all black people the same. I'm serious; not trolling. I genuinely would like to know.

You're right, anti cop doesn't necessarily mean "want cops dead". But consider the support BLM gets from police departments across the country, they aren't anti cop, but more like anti justice system. And they don't even want it abolished, they just want it to change. They want an end to black men being disproportionately locked up for crimes they commit at the same rate as white men.

They're angry at cops, which is why they insult them and, in some rare cases, call for their deaths. But practically none of them want all cops dead or gone. They just want the police to do better, because until the day private security firms become dirt cheap (aka never), the cops are all we the people have.

Thug culture isn't really glorified in the black community. Artists are. A lot of rappers came up by dealing drugs and gangbanging, but most of the popular ones that are considered idols left that life behind and their songs criticize that culture, and some of them were never involved in that culture at all.
