There are idiot cops out there considering they're human too. Never protested for any of the other ones and I'm not going to for this one.

It's fun to see the hypocrisy with the protesters though.

Probably the same reason all the people who were yelling "AllLivesMatter" To dismiss BlackLivesMatter have been silent as well.

There should be more media coverage indeed, but it's sad this is becoming a competition between two hashtags rather than focus on the actual police brutality that took place.

This is what happens when you try to make police brutality a race exclusive experience

BlackLivesMatter wasn't saying police brutality is race exclusive, it was just a movement that focused on it happening to black people because of how much was happening in such a short period of time To black people. You simply interpreted it as saying so.

If it's not whitey attacking an "innocent" black person, no one gives a shit :|

It wasn't happening anymore rapidly than usual, they just got media attention because they protested on the basis of race.


When you have black moms telling a room of non-black women that they will never know what it's like to tell their sons how to act around the police at an early age, then that says it's a race exclusive problem.

The movement is based on a more frequent abundance of racial profiling and the fact that it is frequently recorded, yet no consequences.

If Ray Ray kills Jerome, Ray Ray gets life in prison.
If Officer Smith kills Jerome, a massive cover-up takes place and Jerome is blamed.
If Officer Smith kills Whitey P. Johnson, it is put into careful review and Officer Smith gets a reduced sentence.

While police brutality is a problem, the volume and scenarios that black people encounter are normally far worse and abundant.

You don't understand BlackLivesMatter.

AllLivesMatter is common sense, just say WhiteLivesMatter it makes more sense.


The media doesn't care about white people, don't blame BlackLivesMatter for that.

Everyone may face police brutality but there's no denying that black people face discrimination from police officers who are racist more than white people do.

Maybe black culture is to blame. As black folks if they didn't treat those among them who join the police as traitors, they would get an increased presence in the police force. It's not like they can discriminate by race who they choose as police officers.

Well if any lesson can be learned here, it's that your first date experience wasn't as bad you thought it was.

I'm confused. You started with black culture, but continued with something that isn't black culture.

That won't give the media clicks, therefore it's irrelevant to them.

If all lives matter, why is it so hard for you to say black lives matter?

The reason that the Media isnt covering it is because the same people who tried to downplay #BLACKLIVESMATTER to promote #AllLIVESMATTER do not really care about all lives. They just wanted a reason to attack a Black movement that they didnt understand.

Let any African American get shot by the police and the #BLACKLIVESMATTER movement takes to social media and to the streets to promote the malicious act until the media is forced to cover it. Let a White person get killed by the police and the same people who started #AllLivesMatter stay silent, because they don't really care about the lives of all people, they just wanted to make the #BlackLivesMatter movement look like a radical civil rights movement.

If you actually pay attention to twitter and the #BlackLivesMatter Campaign you will see that they (BlackLiveMatter) also promoted for the unnecessary killing of Zachary Hammond. They understand that all police should be held accountable for killing anyone without proper cause, not just black americans.
