In an ideal world, the police wouldn't kill Black arbitrarily. It has become a common occurrence to kill Black people with the police not being tried or prosecuted for those murderers.
That the policemen kept on choking G. Floyd even when he told them he couldn't breath despite being filmed gives you an idea about how they thought it would be easy to get away with murdering a Black man.
People should document themselves about African American history from slavery to lynching to Jim Crow's laws passing by the economical, social, psychologic prejudices and trauma's they had to go through before commenting.
Black Lives Matter equals All Lives Matter. It's sad that people don't understand that.
BLM is to stress the fact that for too long, black lives were seen as unimportant compared to others.
BLM is to stress the fact that the US is sick and that they need treatment and have been asking for it for sooo long! They have to heal their society by giving them what they deserve and what they were ripped -freedom, dignity, respect...
AA are understandably tired about injustice and they are fighting for their rights as americans citizens.
It's no the police duty to decide who should live or die. They do their arrest and then the person should be investigated and tried if necessary. They should let their prejudice toward a race interfere with their jobs.
