@frogdog: I'm guessing because alot of their members seem to be calling for the death of white police officers, and white people in general...and in some cases carrying it out.
But by all means keep believing they're all sunshine, and roses.
@dngn4774: How the hell do you group BLM with Neo-Nazis and the KKK?
You're misunderstanding me. I'm saying that if a President of the United States had the power to "get rid of" groups like the OP suggests, wouldn't he/she have started there? Contrary to the what the same handful of users keep saying about BLM, they aren't exactly the worst group in America, nor are they anywhere near the most hateful.

Just like a lot of their members are calling for peace, denouncing the deaths of cops (not all of them were White, though), and not condoning the actions of the shooters responsible (who have both claimed that they weren't affiliated with Black Lives Matter).
The movement is definitely divided on the issue of law enforcement, though.

A lot of Republicans once publically booed a Marine for being gay. Does that make everyone who supports the party a homophobe? No. Because political groups are more than an unflattering social media clip. Every movement has its opportunists, but just because an ideal is exploited doesn't necessarily mean the ideology was flawed.
Calling for dead cops and white people goes beyond free speech.
Still there is nothing he can do for those who don't do that.
I won't get into a debate on what BLM means because what you are saying is well completely subjective depending on the view point and you maybe be right that some people do do that but remember it doesn't represent that whole BLM movement as a whole so he cannot get rid of the movement. And also what you are saying is almost analogous to the KKK and I'm pretty sure they were not rid of.
Also if he has the power to get rid of a movement because of a couple of mooks then I'm sure as hell that is reaching into un-American territory and we wouldn't want that would we?
If Trump gets rid of BLM I'm hoping the racists on this site will extend the same courtesy to afformentioned groups who have and still do much worse. I doubt it though

I never spoke on him getting rid of them. What my comment is about is the the excuse of freedom of speech.
