If communities expressed this much outrage towards criminal activities that they direct to the police then they'd live in safer communities. It's ok for black men to kill black men, but let a cop, white or black, kill a black man committing a criminal act and all hell breaks loose.

It's word that you think that people sour by silently and do nothing. The only difference is that these types of rallies get 0 national coverage and they don't always occur at the same time.
It also doesn't make much sense that a really can enact more change in the lives of random criminals than in policy, procedure, or the training of cops.
What do you think it would change in the neighborhood?

Are you suggesting it's OK for cops to kill unarmed Black men because they kill each other?
That's like saying it's OK for a woman to get raped because rape happens to 1 in 4 women.
Not sure why people think this Black on Black crime argument is a good one.

In major cities, black men are killed daily in stabbings and shootings. Criminal killed by cops and protest happens in those same major cities for days. It's as if the community is saying it's perfectly fine for black men to kill black men. Those who hate cops are quick to record video of them but where are these same video junkies when a crime is being committed? Cops show up and virtually all witnesses saw nothing. It's a Sgt Schultz syndrome.

All over the country Whites kill Whites.
When Blacks kill Blacks, the criminal gets charged at minimum. When White cop kills Blacks the criminal cop doesn't get charged in most of the cases.
It really isn't that hard to understand and see the difference.
Criminal cops not being charged can be stopped with LE reform.
In my town, which has a 9% black population, each day on the nightly news, it's reports about young black men killing each other in one section of town. How is such a small segment of the population responsible for the majority of crimes? Isn't that a reasonable question to ask?

Sometimes the black criminal is charged, sometimes not. It depends if the community is willing to "rat him out". Look at a place such as Detroit, where the vast majority of murders go unsolved. The white cop doesn't get arrested because he's not guilty of a crime.
But to people like you, it doesn't matter what the evidence is, you made up your mind from the start that white cops are always guilty if the suspect is black.

It is a fair question to ask and I have Been asking it for days with no response. Let's say that it is a given that police brutality is prevalent against black people. Why don't they pick clear cases to showcase this injustice? They keep using these cases that are so muddy, and usually with known criminals. Shouldn't it be easy since it happens so often?
That's been exactly my thought as well. If you're going to pick a case to rally on, please for gods sake pick someone that's legally minding his/her own business, not presently doing anything of substance that's illegal, certainly without a violent crime under his/her belt minutes ago......and rally away !
I think you'd be surprised how much support that cause would receive from people of all races and walks of life.
When you're rallying cry is around a guy who just "strong arm robbed" a shop keeper, and then decides to walk away down the middle of the street in plain view of the cops and then gives the officer attitude and gets into a physical fight with a cop with a gun.....well, that's not the best poster child for a cause you want to generate wide spread support for. If there were wide spread support, you're much more likely to have a successful result at accepted change.
Apparently though, if you're into violence, burning, looting and generally enjoy destroying your very own community....than I guess it matters not who you pick !
because it's the media picking and choosing the stories...
Why does there always have to be a perfect Black victim in order for their to be a legit case? Perp has to be Black, get straight A's, never post online, curse and he has to have the perfect light brown complexion in order to maybe get a "little" sympathy.
No, they just can't be thugs that cause their own demise.
