“Black lives matter” is an abbreviated version of a very true statement that is not spoken in public. That statement is, “Black lives matter when ended by a white Police Officer. When ended by another black person, not so much.”
Do an internet search: “Bad weekend in Chicago”. What comes up are stories about six different weekends in 2014 where at least four people were killed and from 24 to 82 people were shot. In one weekend! Totals for the six weekends: 44 dead, 281 shot. Most of the victims were black. As best as I can determine, three of the 44 deaths were caused by police officers . Yet there was no National outcry over these three black deaths. (Links below)
One of the current talking points is after the Ferguson shooting, blacks fear the Police more than anything else. Really? After all of these shootings in Chicago, who was called? The police.

Addendum: A black father whose son was killed by an illegal alien testifies during a House subcommittee hearings. Quotes from his testimony:
“My son, Jamiel Shaw II, was murdered while walking on his own street, three houses down from his home. An illegal alien on his first gun charge was visiting a neighbor when my son was coming home,” he said. “He shot my son in the stomach and then in the head, killing him.”
“He was released from the county jail the day before he executed my son. Why was this violent illegal alien allowed to walk the streets of America instead of being deported?”
“Do black lives really matter? Or does it matter only if you are shot by a white person or a white policeman?”
