Likely not as he was killed by criminals. He was off duty no less, and trying to help in a hit and run situation. His good deed did not go unpunished.

R.I.P. officer Keen. Your life mattered more than criminal lives.

Why are men like this not the darlings of "the movement" instead of the criminal scum, why just why.

The same reason its a bigger deal when a Priest rapes a boy than it is when a pedophile does it.

Not being sarcastic, I truly do not understand your logic?

Wow.

Is this more of the identity politics of the left? Only certain murders matter for protesting?

(P.S. logically if a Priest rapes a boy that would make him a pedophile.)

The criminals would have killed this guy regardless of his color. Thread fail.

That actually makes sense and I am SURE they would have. Criminals of whatever race do what they do and I warrant do not GAF about their victims' race(s), which is supported by the black on black crime stats; it's not like black criminals go out of their way to target white folks nor the opposite; criminals target whomever will benefit them/easy targets etc, they are a selfish, uncaring lot.

Still. If BLM is all about black men being killed and how black people's lives matter (too), then it stands to reason ALL Black lives should matter too, to them, no?

The rioters are Marxist anarchists. Dead wildlife officers don't help the anarchists achieve their cause of promoting chaos and communism. Hoping to defeat Trump in the coming election is why their liberal media allies don't cover these deaths.

I think you may have already known this answer.

The left doesn't care about this death because they can't figure out how to use this tragedy to get free TVs and Nike shoes.

BLM is not about caring about the lives of black men. It is a Democrat fundraising arm, funded by George Soros, and put under the guise of APPEARING to care about black lives, since it positions it as being above criticism since to do so earns one the name of racist.

It certainly does, but BLM isn't interested in black lives. They are now a major power player with all the corruption and obfuscation that entails. In my experience, these movements are honest for a very short while after the event that sparks them. Right after George Floyd was killed, people had a nearly unanimous revulsion for what happened and wanted justice and reform. About a day later, the power grabs, agenda-peddlers, and grifters moved in to co-opt people's good intentions and good faith and advance their own agendas or personal gain. Al Sharpton's arrival on the scene is usually an indicator.

The same thing happened with the "Me Too" and the "Occupy Wall Street" movement. Both movements had a brief period of honesty where a very real wrong was highlighted. Then...all that momentum is hijacked for nefarious purposes that have little to do anything good. Me Too became just another way of mob rule. Occupy became a front for far left extremist ideologies. Decent people with good intentions always have to be on the lookout for that kind of thing--we are all being used in these 'movements.'
