Why doesn't Black Lives Matter protest all police shootings?

I'm against police shootings, but I feel BLM only gets involved if a black person is killed. There was that white kid whose mother hosted a vigil, but she didn't get half the turnout BLM got at theirs. I also remember a kid in Savannah GA. He had like an ounce of weed on him during a date and he got shot. No one said **** except for local news. I just don't feel they're putting their money where their mouth is.

    That'd seem a bit random for them to show up and protest other ones, I think. Shouting "black lives matter" after a white victim is shot would be comical at best. But the members themselves being against all shootings, sure. They could do that as individuals without the BLM banner.

    They should have named the movement Black Lives Matter TOO. White lives have always mattered. I hope this helps you understand the issue.

  • The liberal media created BLM from a lie. Mike Brown was a strong armed robber who attacked a police officer and got shot while commiting the crime.

    Perhaps because only the black ones are labeled as "had it coming".

    Because they are really "extortionists" dressed up in "social justice warrior" costumes.
