Since the overwhelming majority of police shootings are male victims and not female, why aren’t there any protests against police sexism against men? Where are the social justice warriors?

Most self respecting men don’t want to become social justice warriors, even for themselves. The general attitude of the SJW is that an individual’s potential in life is most primarily dictated by how much tolerance they receive from society. Such a philosophy is actually disempowering to individual success as it basically outsources one’s own potential to a collective decision by society.

Because the majority of the time it’s men who are doing things that result in getting shot by the police. It’s not rocket science dude.

What happened when you organized a “Men’s Lives matter Rally”?

And if you haven’t organized one, why are you complaining that someone else hadn’t?

Do you apply that logic to racial "disparities" in crime, too?

The only thing law enforcement is is “istist” about is breaking the law

Does that logic apply to racial disparities as well then? And I reject that comment as sexist.

Race baiters!
Nope.. you’re the one trying to pull the “race card”. Now tell me it’s not “men” who commit the majority of crimes that could result in them being shot by the police. I’ ll wait.

The same could be said for certain other demographics. You've completely missed the point of this thread.

Not at all... the OP is asking if the disparity between men and women is “sexist”. I am saying it’s not sexist, it’s because men are more likely to commit crimes that could get them shot by the police. You’ and a couple others are either ignorant or just being obtuse because I hurt your feelings. Fact don’t care about feelings. What other demographics are there besides men and women? Sure you can cherry pick a specific situation, but they’re more likely the exception rather than the rule. If you look at the whole picture... it’s men who commit the majority of crimes that can lead to being shot by the police.
The race card and demographic BS is just smoke and mirrors.

sex·ist
/ˈseksist/
adjective
characterized by or showing prejudice, stereotyping, or discrimination, typically against “women”, on the basis of sex.

If we use the common definition of “sexist” wouldn’t the cops be shooting more women than men?
