...because working in our mutual best interest is what- too hard? Unrealistic? Thankless?
Black lives matter because of what blackness has come to stand for in this country; those whom it is deemed by some part of society to be acceptable to treat badly. It isn't JUST blacks of course- I'd say nearly everyone experiences the wrong end of racial discrimination at least once- but when it's a daily occurrence and others turn a blind eye, that's the experience of oppression.
Until those most looked down upon are protected and respected, no one will be. So while everyone's life matters, black lives matter is specifically about sticking up for the least accepted, the most feared, the most hated and the most misunderstood of us Americans.

give me your honest opinion buck. Did that guy know the cop was racist or was he just shooting at white people?

Buck said he deserved to die because he was a racist but the shooter didn't know he was a racist.
I brought it up because everyone went bad shit crazy over it. He was a criminal with an illegal firearm and it's not the first time he had an illegal firearm. He was a felon and they wanted to question him and he resisted. 4 blacks died by the hands of other blacks on the 4th of july in Chicago. Nobody said a word about that, why not? Yes the cops could've handled it differently but he was a two time felon known to carry a weapon.

"Chicago" = Standard white response when discussing police violence.

Is that what a white response looks like?

Yep, I get it at least 10 times a day, even though it has nothing to do with the subject being discussed.

That's odd ten times a day. The only time I encounter racism and closed minded bigotry is in politics and toke and talk here on rollitup. I agree with you police brutality is out of hand and they definitely need to work on it. Lets not promote a race war or killing cops though. This is an american civil issue that really needs to be resolved with peace.

Look up his criminal background. I'm not making this stuff up. The police do spread propaganda they said he was a gang member and that's not true but the other shit is true http://www.snopes.com/alton-sterling-arrest-record/ That particular police department is known for racism and I agree they should have handled it differently.I guess you just don't get it! All of this is what the pigs say, so you are actually believing their lies and propaganda. smh
