Sure, all lives matter. But that ignores who it is that is suffering most. Black people are being singled out for rough treatment at a far greater rate than the rest of us. Likewise protesting that the lives of the police matter too misses the point that they include the group that is abusing and murdering innocents. Or if you prefer, it is like pretending that being 'racer blind' ourselves means racism is no longer a problem.
You already have the "Fucking Cops" thread and many other threads which covers those issues. If this thread distresses the lynch mob mentalities displayed by some on this forum, tough shit. Go bitch and moan in one of the other threads if you don't like this one. This thread is dedicated those police officers who gave their lives in the line of duty.
