Have them meet with the leaders of black lives matter and ask them why with the overwhelming majority of black shootings dine by other blacks they aren't calling out the problem in the black community and not the cops.
Study by a black liberal harvard economist who said this was the most surprising result of his career.

FBI statistics back it up and confirm.
Maybe they could address the black population of America, tell them that deaths through shootings, drug OD, etc are overwhelmingly committed by other blacks, that the police aren't the enemy, that protecting black criminals instead of cooperating with police only perpetuates the violence, ask them if it was their husband, mother, child lying dead in the street, would they want people to cooperate with police? And start healing the disconnect between police and the black community. |
and then after we do all that would you be willing to actually listen to why the protests.
