    Wouldn’t you need to look at the percentage of police interaction and police shooting for whites and blacks.. not just population?

    Michael Brown has more than been proven to not have been a bad shoot. Hands up don’t shoot was a false narrative from the start.
    Trayveon Martin was not killed by cops
    Bad examples across the board there.

    BLM became a political movement that has misappropriate millions of dollars. Scum bucket organization anyway you look at it

    No doubt All lives Matter was push back from every police encounter with a AA becoming BLM movement. Also a push back to the interstates and business being interrupted and blocked. People got tired of it and push backed. That’s what protest cause. It should have been expected.

    You have to hold your neighborhood accountable. The second you start looking the other way when drug deals are being made on the street, you’re just setting up for your demise. Especially when those deals are being made by 6 year olds. Add to that the community leaders are more interested in pointing at racism than they are pointing out the criminals on the street, it’s no wonder the cycle continues.

    Again, if someone uses the phrase “All Lives Matter” as a retort to the initial phrase “Black Lives Matter,” that person doesn’t like or care about black people. If the statement does not apply to you, then let it fly.

    This implied denial that there's a systemic problem, in spite of the overwhelming aggregate statistics listed earlier, is actually more reputable than just saying "All lives matter". It goes to show you how fallacious "ALM" actually is. Thanks ridge!

    Let's say you're at a funeral for your friend's mother. Your friend starts crying in your presence and says, "I miss my mom. I can't believe that drunk driver killed her. He took her life as if it didn't matter. My mom mattered." Would you respond, "All moms matter"? No. That would be insulting.

    BLM is raising the issue that law enforcement treat Black lives as mattering less. You may disagree with that. But saying "all lives matter" is simply a way to refuse to acknowledge the issue they're raising, and unsurprisingly, people see that as an insult.

    Yes, shame on you for being so caustic towards other posters. It speaks to your overall level of being.

    You’re obviously just trying to taunt him.

    The phrase "Blue lives matter" meaning that lives of police officers also mattered was once a favorite of conservatives as a contrast to the slogan "Black lives matter". For some reason it became completely meaningless in practice to them when acolytes of the defeated former president stormed the Capitol in an attempt to overturn the election and in doing so violently assaulted Capitol and DC Metro Police officers protecting the Capitol and members of Congress and congressional staff members.

    Why do people only say that in response to Black Lives Matter? Why don't they say that in response to Blue Lives Matter?

    Let us know once you decide to walk up to a police officer or someone with a Blue Lives Matter sign saying that All Lives Matter

    Seems to be your standard response when you refuse to address the substance of a post with which you disagree.
