Am I the only one that finds the whole "Black lives matter" movement to be a tad hypocritical, and somewhat misdirected? According to the statistics, the sad fact is that blacks kill whites far more often than the reverse is true.
Furthermore, there seems to be a danger in oversimplifying the whole police brutality problem in this country, to a racial problem when it seems instead to be related to a militarization of our police force, not simply a problem with racial inequality.

Now don't get me wrong, I realize that blacks are disproportionately affected by police brutality, but there's also a problem with the fact that we've spend a huge amount of money and effort militarizing our police departments over the past couple of decades, and blacks aren't the only one's that are being affected by that policy.
A “white” homicide victim is over twice as likely to be killed by a black than a black homicide victim is to be killed by a “white.” Sixteen percent of “white” victims in homicide incidents involving a single victim and single offender were killed by blacks, compared with only 7 percent of black victims who are killed by “whites.” Given the fact that blacks are less than 13 percent of the national population, their homicide rate against whites and Hispanics combined is vastly disproportionate to their share of the population. There were 431 black killers of “whites,” compared to 193 “white” killers of blacks.
