"all unlawful killings at the hands of the police" is misdirecting attention from Blacks killed by the police and the neighborhood watch garbage, the racist who doesn't like loud music, and the volunteer with the police. It's more than the police killing unarmed Blacks in the U.S. and getting away with it.

Nah the cause is hurt when you provide cover for the usual suspects to shift the focus of the argument or article. Just look up above, they go after the author of the article hard the same way you are attacking people for pointing out the obvious, that it's a bad idea to travel to these places.

Not really, if the punishment for taking the life of an innocent changes based on whether victim is black, white, progressive, trump supporter then it does matter and it is all lives matter or blue lives matter. You are not maintaining a principled position you are enabling whites by letting them off the hook.

Otto's father's position is a misdirection. Kerry and Obama didn't kill his son, NK did.

No I don't need a perfect victim or a false equivalency. How many white kids has the NK killed in the past 3 years ?
