Because you can’t protest a random crime.

did you bother to even read the link you provided before you posted this dog whistle of a post?


Perhaps they didn't post "the race and the profession of the shooter" because

LMPD's homicide unit is investigating, and no suspects have been identified.
Never mind the fact that when Americans are being shot by the law enforcement officers who are sworn to protect them, that is something different than what may turn out to be random street violence. The people whose salaries we pay via our tax dollars to police our society cannot kill members of our society with impunity which is of course the point of BLM

Ever hear of George Zimmerman or the poor guy just "going for a jog"?

I'm sure we'll find out the race of the killer if he's not white.

Americans are being shot by police officers because 99.9999% of the time they disobey police orders and created a perceived threat to the police officer.

Fixed it for you.

Seems he was a victim of a carjacking gone wrong.

Oh look a thug who hates cops got shot.

They should decline to investigate the murder. Maybe they can send a social worker.

It occurred in a rough area with a known drug issue. The young man in question had a less than ideal upbringing and a history of interactions with law enforcement. His death is a shame, for life is very precious, but sadder still is the reality that this is a prime example of why there is a larger police presence, with more rigid policing, and where weapons are drawn quicker, in some areas of a town than others.
