I'm sorry but many of the black lives matter protesters(notice how I'm not generalizing an entire group) are shouting down guys like O'mally when they say all lives matter. They make it seem like it's a systemic racist problem, much like you claim the right sees a Muslim and a terrorist as one in the same. I'm sorry I cannot stand with that kind of rhetoric. When I see something that's wrong, like Eric garner, I will stand with them on that issue. I don't think the problem is based on race (which is the entire premise of black lives matter) I think it is based on pretty much shoot first training, and the use pain compliance as soon as there's a sign of hesitation.The unwarranted consternation on the part of most rightists concerning Black Lives Matter further demonstrates just how much conservatives don't get it.
It's also further confirmation of the contempt most conservatives have for issues important to African Americans, and the unwillingness most on the right have to listen to those concerns, even if they disagree with them.
It is also the same rhetoric that led to two officers being shot and killed. The only effective thing that this rhetoric is doing is galvanizing the country.
