See, I don't get this......the argument goes that because more civilians kill other civilians we should look the other way when a police officer does it. How does this make sense? I've pointed this out many times and like so many things I bring up, no one addresses it.

If a civilian kills another person and are caught they are punished. For years, if a police officer killed a person the force rallied around them, often times lied for them and helped make it go away. With the proliferation of video they now have been caught in their lies. For years these communities knew the truth but could do nothing. Those like yourself didn't care. They deserved it, whether they did or not.
Police officers kill less than 500 people a year. And many of those people are killed because they posed a threat to the officer.

Considering the number of encounters between police and citizens, this obsession with police killings is absurd.

If black lives "matter," then concern yourself with the huge number of blacks murdered by other blacks.

A murderer has thousands of interactions with people every year also but we do not ignore one when it goes bad. There is no such thing as being obsessed with not allowing people to get away with murder. Many who have a loved one killed try long and hard to bring about justice. You would also but somehow it's wrong for blacks who have someone killed by a police officer.

BLM (and liberals in general) are not obsessed by -- or even interested in -- the fact that huge numbers of blacks (including small children) are murdered by other blacks.

No, they only care about the very few blacks who are killed by whites.

Again, while not true what if it was? That is suppose to excuse the wrong committed by others?

Is it maybe, you that don't care?

It is true.

Oh, yes, Freddie Gray, that upstanding, law abiding citizen who was so cooperative with the police...

Blame the dead guy for you being wrong. Whether he cooperated or not has nothing to do with what you said.

That seems to be the norm for a number of posters on this site, when they disagree, they only reply to part of a post as if only quoting a piece of a post makes the rest disappear.

Bills laws had nothing to do with violent criminals. It was based on drug legislation and to lock up people in possession of crack, which was disproportionately in the black community. This had nothing to do with violent drug offenders. You statist only like to tell half of the story.
