# police lives matter
Poverty, racial tension, unlimited access to firearms, and increasingly-militarized police forces.
We'll all be killing each other off in due time.
Fucking heathens. Quit shooting the police.
Obviously a price well worth paying to protect second amendment rights and freedom.

All those news agencies should take some responsibility too, for inflaming spirits and adding to this entire mess.

No, you are witnessing the result of conflating the "facts" as defined, not by the actual shooting review, but by initial, hysterical reports on a mere handful of possibly legitimately questionable shootings only blacks with every single death of a black in a police shooting.
No matter if the decedent was armed, not armed, shot first or not, suicidal, in midst of a violent felony, the race of the officer or any other mitigating factor that ought to be looked at when examining whether a shooting is or is not justified.
This campaign of Black lives matters has as its roots a simple effort to get the black population angry enough to go out and vote in a non presidential election with no black guy at the top of the ticket. It was coldly calculated and this is the result.
It is understandable how those who cynically devised this campaign could reasonably expect that such a message would be received well in the black community. It is an absolute fact that cops are more likely to put their hands on black suspects since most blacks of experience that they were ready to receive the message that cops were simply shooting people for no reason. That message is 100% false but it doesn't matter it's well received.
The problem is, people looking at the relationship between the black community and cops assume that first of all correlation equals causation and secondly assume that their reasoning for what the causation is, is accurate.
Cops, right or wrong, are apt to report that blacks are considerably less compliant than others when in contact with the police. The cops expect and demand compliance to their orders. The law allows them to expect and demamd this. the time to argue with the cops is with your lawyer present in a courtroom not at the side of the road at the side of the road it's yes sir no sir how can I help you sir. Blacks tend to put a lot of stock in maintaining face and not allowing anyone to quote unquote disrespect them. Cops disrespect everyone it's their job.
Black lives matters does absolutely zero to defuse this dynamic. As we are seeing, it exacerbates it. If you want another generation of blacks to be raised to be suspicious of cops, belligerent towards cops, you are going to find cops with their hands on blacks putting them up against the wall frisking them, ensuring that they are not armed, before having a conversation with them.
Cops look at behavior. You can keep pretending all you want that they're looking at skin color but they're looking at behavior.
Good piece in The Atlantic about the inevitability of it all:

Not all cops are racist who would happily shoot first and ask questions later. But they have an element of that type of person just as any large group probably does. Indiscriminate killing of police is no answer to the indiscriminate killing of blacks.
Nobody though becomes radicalized over-night for no reason. There are serious issues in US police actions and the US in general.
If you folk aren't careful you could very well end up with the race war that the supremacists on all sides have been predicting for years.
The beginning of the end perhaps.
