Black Lives Matter anti-violence Movement vs. Sarah Palin's BullsEye Campaign Ad in 2011

Would you say the Black Lives Matter movement, that conservatives say fueled an "anti-white cop rhetoric", is the same compared to what others accused Sarah Palin and her committee of doing back then (cheerleading against democratic/Obamacare causes) which enticed the Arizona gunman to murder six people in a Democratic district in 2011 because of her "Crosshairs" ad in the US? I quizzed a conservative on another site if he thought they were the same? Of course he says the Sarah Palin ad had nothing to do with that tragedy at all...in other words, he didn't answer. I say it's not the same because the BLM movement is anti-violence and NOT anti-cop even though racist conservatives put that false narrative out there which is FALSE.

I followed the BLM movement at first but lost track after a while. I disagree with what's being put out there by idiot conservatives from Breitbart, Drudge etc. on their behalf.

What is your take on it?
