why did it take cops killing black men to realize black lives matter?

It's only a tagline if it's a white officer. Blacks kill blacks more than any other group kills them. They ignore that and get ready to protest only when it happens that they are killed by a white person. And the majority of the time, they are committing a crime.

All lives matter. Those that hold up signs that say black lives matter are racists and bigots who have zero credibility.

All this violence is the result of Obama's divisiveness. As cops kill more than blacks, it's divisive to suggest that they only target blacks. The divisivenes, as is the violence, is immoral and an offense to any thinking human.

Naturally, black lives matter. It's silly to even have to ask that qustion. Until Obama's divisive presidency, everybody already knew that black lives mattered. And, yes, the lives of all the other races that are murdered matter too.

Why is it that in nearly every case where a black man is shot by cops they are in the process of committing a crime? Why is it you ignore this fact? If their lives matter to them why don't they stop and do what the cops say instead of running away? If you are stupid enough to ignore someone giving you orders while pointing a gun at you then you are just an example of evolution in action.

John Crawford- 22 yrs. old holding a toy gun in a walmart

Aiyana Jones- 7 yrs. old sleeping in her living room

Darrien Hunt- 22 yrs. old in cosplay

Amadou Diallo- 22 yrs. old reaching for his wallet

Jordan Davis- 17 yrs old playing loud music (by a dumb white person)

Renisha McBride- 19 yrs. old knocking on someone's door (by a dumb white person)

Kathryn Johnston- 92 yrs. old, literally doing nothing in her own home

Tarika Wilson- 31 yrs. old holding her baby in her own home

Akai Gurley- 28 yrs. old visiting his kids

But, please, try and bring black on black crime into this when that isn't the issue here. The police are supposed to protect the people, but it's hard to believe that when your 7 yr. old daughter was shot in her home or your 92 yr. old grandmother was killed for no reason. Both by police.

You can't turn this into an issue of "All Lives Matter" until you white people are killed in mass numbers by police, then we might start protesting for you.

Cops aren't the smartest people.

In the aftermath of the Wilson verdict I believe cops just thought they had the go-ahead to kill anything they found threatening.

It just so happens that the majority of fatalities that make the news happen to be blacks.

Do white deaths by cop go unnoticed? Perhaps. Are the cops racist? Possibly.

The facts remain. We see that black casualties make the news.

Your idea of an "okay" neighborhood is a place where numerous shooting and murders take place each year?

I would have left so damn fast, a thunder clap would have been left in my wake.

To answer your question: It is N/A. You are basing it on an entirely false premise.

Blacks don't matter to fellow blacks. So why should I give a s--- ?

i guess the powers that be don't think black lives matter ..... because they are killing them left and right .......

why would anyone even THINK of the issue unless and until it actually HAPPENED?!..you don't pass laws against something that nobody's ever DONE!
