16. I'm not Glenn Beck,

But I do think all lives matter. It's just that the lives being killed most often need the most attention. And that is POC.

And this killing was just a very tragic and inappropriate statement about that. I understand why this guy did what he did, even if I can't condone more killing in defense of killing innocent POC. I was so enraged about these last two killings...like this is NEVER going to stop! But I understand why he was so enraged.

There is a reason for the statement BLM...but it shouldn't even be necessary...Unfortunately, it is, because black lives are not regarded with the same respect as whites.

So maybe now that the police have tried to push "blue lives matter"...maybe...just maybe now they realize that BLM...and that they have to think "all lives matter" or they aren't doing their jobs right. The lives of the police are no more important than the lives of the innocent people they are killing. And I'm not judging all of their shootings as murder. But some of them really are.
