All lives matter! This isn't a matter of being targeted, its a matter of blacks having a higher crime rate. If it were the other way around whites would receive the same treatment. Sick of the blame game! I already know that someone is going to say well the reason the crime rate is higher is because they are targeted...yeah, ok, just like 9/11 was a hoax and all these other ridiculous conspiracy theories exist. Own up to the facts.

Shooting a fleeing felon is not murder.
- - -
Fleeing felon rule - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
At Common law, the Fleeing Felon Rule permits the use of force, including deadly force, against an individual who is suspected of a felony and is in clear flight. Force may be used by the victim, bystanders, or police officers.
. . .
[Justice] White examined the common law rule on this matter and its rationale. At common law, it was perfectly legitimate for law enforcement personnel to kill a fleeing felon. AT THE TIME WHEN THIS RULE WAS FIRST CREATED, MOST FELONIES WERE PUNISHABLE BY DEATH, and the difference between felonies and misdemeanors was relatively large.

It is inherently bigoted and racist, I don't care what race it is.

It shows a disconnect with the human race and a total disregard for others while it attempts to promote one race as being superior to another. Despite their actions.

Anyone one else tired of this PC crap?
I really do not like hearing that slogan either...to be honest. However, that being said, there would not be a need for such a slogan if not for one thing....."white lies matter".

That would explain all the "protest" signs and speakers that say kill white cops, right?

The point of view put forth by the majority if those using this term intimates that only black lives matter.

Pay attention.

And black lies don't matter? "Hands up, don't shoot" comes to mind.

No, the big “white lie” is that black relative dysfunction is not a product of the history of white racism. The white lie is that there can be actions (white racism) that do not produce reactions (black dysfunction). The white lie is that this nation’s past has nothing to do with this nations present. The white lie is that there is a “black culture”, as opposed to a culture born from racial oppression. The white lie is that many of you are not STILL racist. Hence, because of these "white lies", you cannot understand why "black lives matter". It's because your White lies matter....more.

You're making that up.

The sign and the movement are products of people who don't necessarily agree with each other.
What you're saying is like saying that the KKK speaks for the majority of conservatives.

Like I said....I really do not like how the slogan is worded. I would revise it to read "Black lives matter....too".
