Because Black people are killed *disproportionately,* revealing a racial bias in how how police treat us, and therefore we must protest to protect ourselves. But it&
#39;s not a bad question; why don&
#39;t white ppl protest how often white ppl are killed by the cops? They should.

It&
#39;s really fascinating that loud white folks&
#39; reaction to the horrific and -- as we&
#39;ve seen -- mostly unnecessary death toll inflicted by police is not "The police kill too many people" but instead "Well, why are Black people looking out for themselves? CHECKMATE."
So many of y&
#39;all want to cry "All Lives Matter!" But you&
#39;re not out in the streets making change -- or in the press rooms, boardrooms or city halls, within which white ppl have disproportionate power. You don&
#39;t *act* like they matter. You just use your power to try & shut us up.
