So seemingly each and every white cop on black person incident warrants national media attention these days. My question is why isn't an incident like below receiving equal attention:
Black on black incidents like this happen EVERY SINGLE DAY yet where are all these Black Lives Matter people to protest this and call this outrageous and call for behavior like this be stopped ASAP? How come this black student's life who's being beaten literally into convulsions DOESN'T MATTER to the BLM movement? What if this same black student was beaten just as badly by a white cop, why would his life suddenly matter to the BLM people then??
So just as with many other violent black on black incidents, the victim was assaulted over a NOTHING ISSUE.
As I've asked before, why are blacks and the BLM people SO SELECTIVE as to which black lives matter to them and which don't? The daily, incessant, non-stop black on black violence means NOTHING to them and all the black victims from black on black violence also mean NOTHING to them. But hey, have a white cop or a non-black person lay a finger on a black person and then suddenly that black life is as precious as a 24k diamond.
So when will the BLM people admit that they're HYPOCRITES and either start caring for ALL black lives or stop yelling at law enforcement and non-blacks to care about black lives when time and again they CLEARLY SHOW that they don't give a damn themselves about their own kind.
I didn't read the entirety of your huge rant, but I will answer briefly and simply:
There is a difference between a police officer-- a public servant-- murdering a member of the public, and a member of the public hurting another member of the public.
We pay police officers to protect us. So when they end up killing people, that is kinda sorta a big deal.
If you do not understand that, then I cannot help you.
The Black Lives Matter protesters come out when a black person is beaten or killed and no one is arrested for it....if someone was arrested in this case there is no need for Black Lives Matter to protest. What would they be protesting, the arrest??? Sheesh.
Also, Black Lives Matter is concerned with structural issues, not individual people's problems. This incident was about kids with temper problems fighting over teenage drama. Not in the same league.
There have been stop the violence rallies and protests in black neighborhoods going back to the 1980's it's just the news media never covers them.
And 99% of the people who bring up "black on black crime" could give 2 s*** about it, it's simply a deflection tactic used to stop any discussion on state sworn in officials murdering people
The obsession some people have with blacks is pretty disturbing. Seek help.
That's why I have to laugh at the BLM and its supporters. So it's okay if a black man kills a black man as long as someone is arrested ? No need to protest ?
How about protesting the violence itself and stop the black on anything crime ? How about trying to stop the issues before police have to be involved ?
That's why I will always laugh at the BLM movement lol priorities are so skewed it's funny.

Are you kidding me with this? Who has said black on black crime is okay? Give me ONE source??
Have you not read the above responses?
Black on black crime is discussed and actions taken to stop in black communities, I've been apart of it, myself but it doesn't drive ratings like a white cop/black kid controversy does, so it never becomes national news.
HOW CAN YOU NOT UNDERSTAND THAT?
I just love posters who've never been in a black neighborhood for more than 5 minutes in their lives are always so sure they know what the hell actually goes on in them.
I swear, C-D has posters on payroll that are intentionally obtuse.

Give it a rest race-baiters.
BLM has legitimate beef. Of course they are not right all of the time. Of course they have people who are exploiting situations for their own agenda, but to act as if there is no cause to bring the treatment of blacks by the police under a microscope for review is ridiculous; and then to continue to post things that have nothing to do with BLM is even more ridiculous.
It has been/continues to be acknowledge a many of times about crime in black communities by black people perpetrated on black people......but I guess you wouldn't know that because you don't know any black people and all of those discussions don't fit your agenda.

Read these posts and educate yourselves, for once in your life.
What is shocking to me is that people like the OP think there is no difference between a regular citizen beating up another citizen vs. a law enforcement officer abusing his power against a presumably innocent citizen he is presumably hired to protect.
My conclusion: OP is just really dumb/ignorant or just a race baiter or both.
Cliff notes for those who won't click the thread because it won't jive with their narrative: white guy vandalizes his own truck with BLM/anti-police propaganda, then files false police report. Oh, then a GoFundMe was set up, and of course, people donated.
