"All Lives Matter" would make sense if the people talking about "All Lives Matter" were out protesting stuff like this.
But since they don't care about even white people being killed unjustly by police, clearly they don't really believe "All Lives Matter," they're just uttering combative rhetoric.
By the same logic, why pass laws to keep financial institutions from stealing your money, they don't steal from everyone, they don't do it all the time , and people steal from each other all the time?
Since blacks commit the most murders per person and overwelmingly kill the most black people why don't they protest this since "black lives matter?" If blacks stopped killing blacks it would stop 90% of the black killings.
So people should continue to ignore the unchecked police brutality?
OP, if you understood what the BLM movement stood for you wouldn't ask such a stupid question.
But since Googling to try to educate yourself seems beyond your capability, let me help you out. BLM is about the violence towards blacks by law enforcement.
If you are truly interested, which I somehow doubt, here's a good site that explains the movement in depth.
"We know all lives matter, but all lives aren’t victimized by the police at the same rate. A Black person is killed by the police every 28 hours. That’s not happening to White people. White people aren’t racially profiled. Black people are."

More blacks are killed by police because blacks commit the most crimes. Black neighborhoods statistically have the highest crime rates. Blacks statistically kill more of their own than any race or any cop. I'm sorry but it's time for a reality check based on facts and statistics. Your use of the word victimize is purely subjective. More blacks are killed by other blacks. So by your logic blacks are "victimizing" each other and therefore blacks are racist against blacks.
So people should continue to ignore the unchecked police brutality?
The BLM movement is counterproductive because it focuses on the skin color of a segment of the victim population rather than the problem of rogue cops.
You contradicted yourself. You said that most crime is interracial, but then pointed out the most crime is committed within ones own race. There is no white lives matter or Latino lives matter movement so I don't understand your point.

Agreed. it would have a much larger chance of gaining support. As well as protesting at the police station instead of disrupting Presidential events.
