One emotional video disclosing an Illinois grandmother,"tearing into the Black Lives Matter movement" has got 8 million hits and 330,000 shares, according to foxnews.

71,000 people liked the post on her facebook page, 16,000 people left comments. And discussions like one on Reddit set fire to the Internet.

The grandmother, Peggy Hubbard, railed against anti-police protesters.

She said that she was brought up by a single mother in St. Louis. She then slammed the movement for the latest riots that followed after the police shot an 18-year-old man last week. Police in St. Louis claimed that the suspect "pointed a gun" at two officers.

She also mentioned another story---a 9-year-old Ferguson, Missouri, girl who was shot in her mother's bedroom while doing her homework.

There were no arrests made in this case, and the cops say they are not sure whether Jamyla Bolden was "struck by a stray bullet or if the home was targeted".

Hubbard railed against the Black Lives Matter movement for protesting the death of a "thug, a criminal" instead of the young girl.

"You say black lives matter? Her life mattered. Her dreams mattered. Her future mattered. Her promises mattered," said Hubbard.

"Are you [expletive] kidding me? Police brutality? How about black brutality? You black people, my black people, you are the [expletive] most violent [expletive] I have ever seen in my life," she said.

The St. Louis-area grandmother said that "black lives matter" should also apply to black-on-black crime, adding that "127 homicides later y'all want to holler police brutality? Black people, you're a [expletive] joke. You're tearing up communities over thugs and criminals."

She also remarked that they were demonising police officers working in high-crime areas. She said police officers are not on the streets for "fun and games" and want to go home to their families.

"They're not going to tuck you in. They're not going to give you a cookie and sing you a lullaby. No, they're gonna pop a cap in your a**. You shoot at them and they're going to shoot at you. If you try to kill them, their job is serve and protect, not serve and die," said Hubbard.

It is time the black community have a drive against "black brutality" in the same manner in which they are protesting "police brutalit," she said.
