This supports my point. I thought you disagreed with my point?There are more white criminals than Black ones and we know the cops arent killing white people because they are white.More white people than black people are killed by cops. But there was no WLM.If unarmed white people were being killed all over the place for no reason by the police, I suspect that "white lives matter" would gather a lot of support.Of course all lives matter. But you would never have said that on your own. You only said it in response to shout down black people for daring to say that their lives matter.
Right......and just what do you think would happen if a bunch of white people gathered at city hall to say "White Lives Matter?" Of course in that case, the assumption would be that minority lives don't and they would be attacked viciously.
"In fact, as of July 9, whites were 54 percent of the 440 police shooting victims this year whose race was known, blacks were 28 percent and Hispanics were 18 percent, according to The Washington Post’s ongoing database of fatal police shootings. Those ratios are similar to last year’s tally, in which whites made up 50 percent of the 987 fatal police shootings, and blacks, 26 percent. (The vast majority of those police homicide victims were armed or otherwise threatening the officer.) But Butterfield could be forgiven his error, given the virtually exclusive media focus on black victims of police officers."
