Today there were nationwide protests "Black Lives Matter." One of those was in New York, where the Brooklyn Bridge was shut down (link). Another was in Cleveland, Ohio (link).
I have a dream, and that dream is that these protests cover the horrific random violence that ghetto residents inflict on each other (link to article about Chicago):

Or this one in Indiana (link to article, with picture of the suspect that I deleted as inflammatory).
I understand that whites, particularly police officers, do murder blacks (link to thread). This murder, presumably far more clear cut than the slayings of Michael Brown, Eric Garner and Trayvon Martin, generated, along with those killings, multi-page threads and the "Black Lives Matter" demonstrations.
I agree. Black lives do matter. That's why we need to end black on black violence, as well as police brutality. One is rare; one is endless.
I think the difference is that when whites murder blacks, its usually a "shady" black that's getting knocked off. In other words, someone who either acts like he's up to no good, someone who's recently committed a crime and otherwise "bad" people. Now, not all, once in a while an upstanding black citizen gets killed due to racism or whatever.
BUT, when blacks kill blacks, are all the blacks who get killed "bad people"? Or, do some honest, upstanding, educated, hard working family men and women get killed "just because"?

No question. Many such victims operate or work in small stores, such as the cigar shop Michael Brown robbed.
I admire the public spirit of Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton, who lay awake at night worrying about the welfare (not the check) of 17 year olds with 8 half-siblings who find fighting and robbing fun. They are truly wonderful human beings </sarcasm>.

The Brooklyn Bridge was not shut down. The Outer Bridge in Staten Island was shut down because it was where the long haul of a protest began.
From my recollection the only incident of a purely innocent victim of police was a black man suspected
of rape in Milwaukee years ago and was mentally I'll who was incorrectly prophiled, choke held and died
at the scene. in all other cases all the blacks were up to mischief, had long records of misconduct were
characters of out of control misbehavior or reluctant to obey commands which antagonized officers
who themselves were near hoodlums all their lives. punks, authority misfits, persons of questionable values or conduct and when you merge these two racially bias people neither having brains you get killed sucka.
So hoodlums, punks, authoruty (should be authority) misfits, and persons of questionable values or conduct deserve to be murdered?
How about they may die if their conduct puts police and/or the public in peril? What is wrong with people conforming to established norms when interacting with police?

I'll take it that you've not read about South Carolina. News has surfaced that no tail light stop should have been made.

How about YOU don't get to decide that? How about we let the system we pay for work? That is innocence until proven guilty in a court of law by peers. How about that? That would be keeping with this nation's constitutional rights.
