Yes. In that it is a straw man. No juror who failed to indict a racist cop thinks or says “black lives do not matter.” That’s not how racism in 2018 America operates.

Is “black lives matter” actually influencing ppl to think this is the attitude of whites, and to incorrectly diagnose this attitude as the motivating force behind disproportionate police violence, and judicial inaction against same? I’d say it is, based on your own replies on this thread, wherein you perceive resistance to the slogan as an objection to the term blm itself, rather than to its subtext.”they don’t like the term blm, because they don’t believe blm!” Just not true.

There are many slogans that would be literally true contraindications of certain problematic behaviors, that you’d nevertheless think twice before marching under, due to context.

Ask yourself this: if white people looked at a problem in the black community (let’s take gang crime), and decided to start a political group with a catchy summary of the problem as its name (aimed at an unspecified them, bu obviously geared towards black actions and attitudes in the same way blm is geared towards white ones) wouldn’t it undoubtedly have a racist, reductive hue?

Blm is a misdiagnosis of the problem, and a racist reduction of white attitudes.
