This is why I couldn’t take BLM seriously. Black lives don’t even matter to blacks. Why was I supposed to get upset when some other skin color killed one?
The dishonesty of their screeching is shown by the fact that they'll advocate for Michael Brown, who assaulted and tried to kill a cop, and want to give a medal to the guy who murdered Ashli Babbitt, a short, unarmed woman who was no threat to anyone.
Of course, it's not just about white/black, but it helps - I'm sure they'd love it if a black Trump supporter was murdered too.

I've always thought it wasn't completely unreasonable for him to shoot, but no way should he get a goddamn medal for it. Any call to give him one is politically motivated and is essentially saying 'it's virtuous to shoot right wingers'.
Which shouldn't be a big surprise from the 'Punch a nazi!/You're a nazi!' crowd.
It might not be 'completely unreasonable', maybe 1% reasonable or something, but when there is a barrier between you, the person you're killing is so unthreatening, and you neither warn nor fire warning shots, I do regard it as murder.
But murder in defense of the rich and powerful is always justified. I'm no John Brown supporter, but he said it exactly right.

Yeah I can get behind a push to hold corrupt cops more accountable, but to make it all about black people is absurd.
99/100 times it's some thug who resisted arrest and fought the police and ended up dead. You make a cop fear for his life, he's going to put you down.
Tony Timba type incidents are what we should be focusing on, and it's clear that skin color has nothing to do with them.
