It almost seems that black lives do not in fact matter unless there is money in the form of reparations to families or political hay to be made. If law enforcement is going overboard with lethal force it must be dealt with for sure. However, I think both law enforcement and the Courts are handling these matters both expeditiously and honestly in most all cases...Geo



Can't argue with that Geo. To be clear, I don't think this is purely a race issue. Another poster noted that Caucasians as well are wrongly killed by law enforcement, but they don't protest. Maybe whites should protest police shootings as well.

It would be pretty smart to do, because if the public can be made aware that law enforcement is just as likely to shoot a white guy as a black guy, then nobody's life matters as opposed to just black lives.

Beware the Police State...
